House of the week: $3.9 million for a stone jewel perched on the Scarborough Bluffs
ADDRESS: 41 Hill Crescent
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Cliffcrest-Guildwood
AGENT: Ken C. Digalakis, Re/Max All-Stars Realty
PRICE: $3,995,000
THE PLACE: Situated along the Scarborough Bluffs, this five-bedroom pile with oversized granite tile flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-concept floor plan screams “modern” without being cold. With all the accoutrements associated with a $4-million home (Sub-Zero kitchen appliances, CCTV security monitoring, seven bathrooms), the real story at this stunner is the view of the lake from high atop the bluffs.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: Lake Ontario is visible from almost every room.
BIG SELLING POINT: With a brutal winter predicted and no indication of when the groundhog might pop his head out, the new owners will appreciate the geothermal heating and warmed driveway.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The large yard makes for scenic vistas, but also a whole lot of landscaping bills or weekends on the riding mower.

• $10,515.02 in taxes

, the real story at this stunner is the view of the lake from high atop the bluffs.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: Lake Ontario is visible from almost every room.
BIG SELLING POINT: With a brutal winter predicted and no indication of when the groundhog might pop his head out, the new owners will appreciate the geothermal heating and warmed driveway.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The large yard makes for scenic vistas, but also a whole lot of landscaping bills or weekends on the riding mower.
BY THE NUMBERS:
• 11,000 square feet
• $10,515.02 in taxes
• 100 feet of waterfront view
• 8 parking spaces
• 7 bathrooms
• 5 bedrooms
• 2 storeys
• 1 elevator
• 1 water fountain

Lovely house, but could these people be more scared of a little colour?
is it just me?or do the bathrooms look rather cheap and suprisingly average?
the living room is nice–but furnished like a airport lounge. I agree, they need to warm it up with both colour and more furnishings to sell.
i agree with the other folks comments. I think they are afraid of color – and it appears COLD brrr- stark and without life. The bathrooms appears as though they ran out of money. But I guess you could always buy the place and throw a splash of color on it to your liking.
Really – tiled walls in the bathroom? 1980 called, they want their bathroom back. These people either ran out of money or got a smoking deal on tiles. This place definitely needs some colour and a bit more personalization. In all honesty, I’d hold out for the place next door. At least it comes with a pool!
if I can afford a house like this it won’t be facing Lake Ontario southern Ontario’s bathroom
Love it! Minimalistic approach to design with excellent pieces of furniture and more space is very much in. the only drawback is the tile walls in the bathroom- ouch! When you have a grand house like this, white is perfect – go color your 500 sq ft condo downtown toronto to make it appear big but with this size, the white works wonders!!
A Vancouver real estate blog mentioned this Scarborough Bluffs house today as a comparison to Vancouver prices:

that bedroom and living room are pretty rock and roll, I approve. I just wish these developers would spare us from such cheesy Woodbridge gino exteriors when nature provides us with such a nice piece of property.
Is there any footpath access down the bluffs in these properties? would be so cool.
Love the space,decor not to my taste.
Selling point the lake awesome,almost like a beach front property
Bluffers Park like most beaches along the shores of Lake Ontario has a blue flag system in place. The quality of the water is tested regularly.
