House of the Week: $1.9 million for a family home a block from the beach
By Fraser Abe |
By Fraser Abe |
Address: 7 Buller Avenue
Neighbourhood: The Beach
Agent: Adam Grossman, Royal LePage J&D Division Brokerage
Price: $1,875,000
The Place: A four-bedroom home in The Beach with landscaped gardens in the front and back.
Bragging Rights: The roomy upstairs office has a wall of bookcases and a terrace with views of the lake. Imagine showing it off to friends who battle commuter traffic to work in dreary cubicles.
Big Selling Point: Proximity to Ashbridge’s Bay Park, one of the east end’s best green spaces. The park boasts views of the CN Tower and Woodbine Beach, one of eight beaches in the city where it’s safe to swim.
Possible Deal Breaker: The current owners have turned the basement rec room into a modified home gym. If you decide to turn it back, you’ll feel guilty every time you sit down for a movie with a bowl of buttery popcorn.
By the Numbers:
• $1,875,000
• $11,142 in property taxes
• 5 bathrooms
• 4 bedrooms
• 2 landscaped gardens
• 2 upper-level terraces
• 2-car garage

This house is beautiful! but a bit bland!
Beautiful house and great location! Love the stairs not facing the main entrance.
Gorgeous house, incredibly close to the water.
Beautiful house, wonderful garden, 1 minute walk to lake and boardwalk, and, really exceptional in the Beaches, with a 2 car garage!
The house is beautiful and the gardens are exceptional, simply love it
This is simply a spectacular house…love the open concept! Very functional for a family, and a beautiful, inviting design for entertaining.
Stunning house in the beaches with quick access to the lake. Modern open feel perfect for family living. Love love love the oasis landscaping in the backyard. Lovely finishes.
I think Drew Laszlo, Architect, did this house – it’s spectacular!
You are right, Donna! The house design was a collaborative effort by both Drew Laszlo and R.E. Ringwald Design Build.
