House of the Week: $2.8 million to live in a contemporary Rosedale home with a traditional look

Bragging Rights: Though the inside is newly renovated, the exterior retains a traditional look that fits in nicely with the rest of the neighbourhood.

Big Selling Point: This home is walking distance to Bloor Street, Branksome Hall and some of the city’s prettiest running trails.

Possible Deal Breaker: The backyard is on the small side, leaving only enough room enough for a deck and a firepit. Even so, the house’s ample interior—up to and including its third-floor playroom and balcony—provides plenty of lounging space.

By The Numbers:

• $2,795,000 • $14,579.48 in property taxes (2014) • 3,192 square feet • 968 square foot basement • 53-foot-wide lot • 6 washrooms • 4 bedrooms • 3 storeys • 2-car garage • 1 gas fireplace • 1 firepit
