Neighbourhood: The Beaches
Agent: Mark Richards, Re/Max Hallmark Richards Group Realty Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $3,690,000
Previously sold for: $1,235,000 in 2014, prior to a total rebuild
The place
A new house in the east end, just north of Queen Street and Balmy Beach Park.
The history
The house is a new-build that took a year to complete, starting in June 2015. It has a large custom kitchen with a 48-inch Wolf range (and eight-foot range hood), Thermador fridge, wine storage and views of the outdoor plunge pool.
Here’s the foyer:
The office:
And the dining room:
The living room has a fireplace:
There’s a large breakfast area beside the kitchen:
And here’s a closer look at the kitchen and its many shiny surfaces and appliances:
A skylight brightens up the second floor, where there are four bedrooms:
Here’s one bedroom:

And another. Whoever staged this home must have a crate of teddy bears at the ready:
The master bedroom has an interesting ceiling fan:
And here’s the master ensuite:

Big selling point
The house some grown-up features—for instance, a master walk-in closet that would make Carrie Bradshaw jealous:
But it also has some fun stuff, like an oversized basement rec room, with wet bar and double fridges:
(There are also two bedrooms in the basement.)
Possible deal breaker
If the buyer has kids (which, with six bedrooms, they probably will), they’ll probably find themselves hosting a few too many pool parties. The pool obviously looks a lot more inviting when it’s not covered by a tarp:
By the numbers
• $3,690,000
• $7,447.31 in taxes (2017)
• 3,793 square feet
• 6 bedrooms
• 6 bathrooms
• 1 pool
The Hunt
Correction
This post originally said, incorrectly, that 103 Scarborough Road is located just north of Ashbridges Bay Park. In fact, it's closer to Balmy Beach Park.
