Big selling point

In addition to the generously sized backyard, the house squeezes in a bit of extra outdoor space on its rooftop deck, which is shrouded by Rosedale’s tree canopy. When it’s too cold to go outside, a skylight in the master bedroom ensures that the occupants still get plenty of vitamin D.

Possible deal breaker

The basement is unfinished, so the buyers will need to do some renovations if they want a rec room or a fifth bedroom:
