House of the Week: $3.5 million for a 110-year-old home owned by ex-NHL player Nick Kypreos
ADDRESS: 33 Heather Road
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Leaside-Bennington
AGENT: Charlene Kalia and Erin Ashby, Chestnut Park Real Estate Limited, Brokerage
PRICE: $3,495,000
THE PLACE: A 110-year-old red brick home (that was fully renovated in 2004), set on one of the largest lots in Leaside.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: This home puts the “Lea” in “Leaside”—it was built in 1902 for John Edmund Lea, a member of the prominent family that gave the neighbourhood its name.
BIG SELLING POINT: Those less interested in history lessons may be impressed that the current owner is Nick Kypreos, a former NHL player (with the New York Rangers and Maple Leafs) and Sportsnet host.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The massive backyard has a great playground set with swings, a circular slide and a playhouse, so you’ll have to contend with hordes of neighbourhood kids wanting to play. Better stock up on Sunny D while you’re at Pusateri’s.

I think the ‘pantry’ is bigger than my whole kitchen.
Inoffensive and a bit boring. I’d live in it happily, though. Nice landscaping and the backyard is terrific.
How does Kypreos have a better house than Gilmour??
I don’t know why people get these HUGE mansions once they make it big
what a trap
Nice place, yeah a bit boring but I don’t see the 3.5mil in that location.
@P. Bateman
A: Fewer divorces.
Stunning home. Rich in character and charm. Amazing lot. Love the history.
Odd choice, putting the master bath in the room with the big bay window. Not much privacy – especially with the toilet where it is – and you can only spend so much time in the bathroom, so those big windows are kind of wasted.
who on earth would pay that much for a home in leaside? It has been on the market for a while now so apparently no one wants the most expensive home in leaside.
Meh.
Obviously money can’t buy a good sense of style.
@Bisca – sense of style is all relative. Overall a pleasant house but over-priced.
