House of the Week: $6.8 million for a sprawling Rosedale bungalow
House of the Week: $6.8 million for a sprawling Rosedale bungalow
Address: 7 Dale Avenue
Neighbourhood: Rosedale-Moore Park
Agent: James Strathy Warren, Chestnut Park Real Estate
Price: $6,750,000
The Place: A 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom mid-century-style bungalow in the heart of Rosedale.
Bragging Rights: The backyard is not only well manicured, it has that ever-so-important staple of summer, a private pool. Whenever the temperatures spike—and they’re sure to do so eventually—the owner will be glad to have it.
Big Selling Point: Even for Rosedale, this is an expansive lot. It comprises 142 feet of frontage and a whopping 340 feet of depth (that’s over an acre of property, or 4,485 square metres for the metric system fanatics) in the center of the city.
Possible Deal Breaker: The floor-to-ceiling windows that let in all those beautiful garden views are not made for smudges. Follow Martha Stewart’s “simple” 8-step window-washing method for the best results. (Or, you know, get a hose and some Windex, whatever works.)
By the Numbers:
• $6,750,000
• 37,126 in taxes (2013)
• 4,485 square metres of land
• 5 bedrooms
• 3 baths
• 1 floor, for the most part
• 1 backyard pool

I find your worries that whoever buys this will have to clean the windows by themselves absolutely endearing… And is that linoleum in photo 7?…
Please don’t tear it down! I’m sure it’s been staged like mad, but it’s an incredible example of how well mid-century architecture can work with modern furnishings.
I love the boardroom table in the dining room. So cozy!
