ADDRESS: 1 Peregrine Way

NEIGHBOURHOOD: Forest Hill South

AGENT: Elise Kalles, Harvey Kalles Real Estate

PRICE: $5,698,000

THE PLACE: Tucked away at the end of a brick road, this Forest Hill house is the picture of solitude. Even the neighbours are silent, as the massive Cedarvale Ravine abuts the property. The façade and extensive gardens may look like an English manor, but the interior is all-American luxury: expansive foyer with an inlaid marble centrepiece, indoor spa, and acoustically isolated screening room with a 120-inch projector screen.

BRAGGING RIGHTS: 1 Peregrine was built by Peter Kellner, the legendary Toronto renovator who, over his four decades in the business, has been featured in Canadian House and Home and been approved by Peter and Melanie Munk.

BIG SELLING POINT: The indoor pool offers a great place to work on any weight loss–related New Year’s resolutions.

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Only three bedrooms in Forest Hill is tantamount to only six bedrooms in Muskoka. If there were neighbours, what would they think?

120-inch projector screen
6 parking spaces

  2. nothing about this house is comfortable or inviting. it looks like an old hotel from the 70’s. the pool and entry hall, not to mention the bedrooms are tacky.

  3. Only 6M to live in surroundings that look like The Montreal Sheraton circa 1990. Time to get a decorator!

  4. taste, is personal

    if the homeowner or potential homeowner likes it, than it is no one else’s concern

    one person’s ostentation, is another’s comfort

  8. Very bad curb appeal – it looks like a cottage on Lake Simcoe, (a nice cottage on lake simcoe).
    Some of the rooms are very nice, and you can also add your own touch – but the layout seems choppy, …not a great flow, and layout is much harder to fix and pricier…
    The location is horrible, being so close to Bathurst.

    This is way overpriced – as is usually the case by Kalles Real Estate.

  9. For the price, it’s not that remarkable. Why does house of the week always have to be something with an elite price tag? There are more remarkable houses for a fraction of the price in Toronto.

    I’m annoyed that yet again, market value trumps quality. It’s the same thing with describing musicians. Record sales tell me nothing about quality, yet I always hear artists described as “multi-platinum selling”.
