House of the Week: $1.8 million for a home with a two-tiered back deck by the Humber River

Bragging Rights: The oversized back deck is perfect for suntanning and outdoor dining. It also means you won’t spend your summer mowing lawns.

Big Selling Point: Each of the five bedrooms has its own ensuite bathroom, eliminating jockeying for shower time in the mornings (though we recommend getting a heavy duty water heater if you have teens).

Possible Deal Breaker: The open-plan kitchen, dining and family room works for casual gatherings, but traditionalists might sniff at the lack of a formal living room.

By the Numbers: • $1,799,000 • $10,144.27 in taxes (2013) • 40-foot-by-100-foot lot • 6 bathrooms • 5 bedrooms • 4 parking spaces in the driveway • 2-level back deck • 1 garage • 1 indoor gym
