This 3-storey brick detached on a 50x142.5 foot lot is a Forest Hill classic. With 5 beds and 5 baths spread over three floors plus a finished basement, you're getting serious square footage. Main floor has a proper layout: living room, dining room, kitchen, and a family room that looks out to the backyard. There's a mudroom addition off the back, handy for coming in from the pool. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has its own ensuite, plus two more beds and a home office on the second level. Third floor holds the other two bedrooms with a bath. Lower level is finished with a rec room, sauna, and full bath. Now the real selling point: the west-facing backyard. Inground pool, cabana with its own bathroom, and a patio made of large stone slabs for entertaining. Gardens are nicely done and there's privacy from the mature trees. Detached garage offers extra storage, and you can park up to 5 cars total. It's a 5-minute stroll to Forest Hill Village shops and restaurants, and less than a kilometer to BSS or UCC. Casa Loma is 1.7 km away if you want a weekend stroll. Priced at $3,995,000 with annual taxes around $18,664, it's competitive in a market where the median nearby is $3.6M. Some systems show age but everything's functional. You could move in and live, or update over time. There's room to make it your own without a full reno.
