In this episode, David tours five very different Yorkville properties and asks an important question: what exactly are buyers paying for when they choose Yorkville over Rosedale, Forest Hill, or other luxury Toronto neighbourhoods?
David has explored Yorkville condos before, but detached and semi-detached homes in Toronto’s most prestigious neighbourhood reflect a very specific market. From historic Victorian residences and architecturally striking renovations to charming side streets hidden among luxury boutiques and restaurants, Yorkville houses are as much about lifestyle and location as they are about the homes themselves.
This week’s picks:
- 04:01 – 53 Hazelton Ave: A stunning Victorian semi-detached on one of Yorkville’s most coveted streets. Set on a rare 24 x 150 ft lot with a double garage, this meticulously designed home blends historic architecture with ultra-luxury finishes
- 10:26 – 10 Webster Ave: Quietly tucked away on a one-way side street, this three-storey semi offers a more traditional luxury experience. Features include a rooftop terrace, beautifully renovated lower level, and an ideal balance between modern updates and original character
- 15:59 – 41 Berryman St: One of the most unique homes in the neighbourhood. Formerly a dated 1970s structure, this dramatic modern renovation features sleek contemporary architecture over traditional Toronto character
- 21:18 – 107 Scollard St: A narrow Victorian row house surrounded by Yorkville’s luxury retail and restaurant scene. At $2.6M, this is one of the lower-priced houses in the neighbourhood, but the dated interiors, lack of parking, and mixed-use surroundings highlight the compromises required to own in Yorkville
- 25:12 – 24 Bishop St: A rare detached home in Yorkville with original architectural charm, generous living space, and a surprisingly private setting. While some finishes may be ready for updating, the detached footprint, outdoor space, and location make this one of the more valuable opportunities in the neighbourhood
If you’re in the market for a luxury home or just curious what’s for sale in one of Toronto’s most iconic neighbourhoods, this Pick 5 is for you.
