House of the Week: $2.4 million for a Rosedale home owned by Miley Cyrus’s songwriter
Address: 61 Astley Avenue
Neighbourhood: Rosedale-Moore Park
Agent: James Martin Molloy, Chestnut Park Real Estate
Price: $2,395,000
The Place: A modern house full of striking expanses of glass, polished concrete and wood, perched above the Moore Park ravine.
Bragging Rights: Music buff? The home is being sold by L.A.-bound Stephan Moccio, erstwhile judge of Canada’s Got Talent and composer of earworms like Celine Dion’s “A New Day Has Come,” Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball” and “I Believe,” the theme of the Vancouver Olympics.
Big Selling Point: The third-floor master suite looks out over a ravine. Fall foliage is that much nicer when you’re enjoying it from a bubble bath.
Possible Deal Breaker: Living on Astley Avenue is an open invitation to friends to rickroll you at every opportunity.
