Spectacular ravine setting

Craving something that’s not a cookie-cutter home? Set on an extraordinary ravine lot, this home is packed full of character and unlike any typical East York bungalow. With 2 bedrooms upstairs along with a full bath and sunroom overlooking the ravine this home has an open concept main floor with vaulted ceilings.

Descend the incredible reclaimed wood stairs to the lower level (the basement is on-grade) with a 3rd bedroom/rec-room and 4 pc bath. Also on this level is a walk-out to the back deck, yard and ravine.

On the other side of the lower level there's a jr 1 bedroom suite with separate laundry, 2 separate entrances, a deck, kitchenette & bedroom with 3 pc ensuite & egress window. It's completely separated from the rest of the house and has been carefully and thoughtfully designed with privacy in mind - right down to a separate outdoor space.

The serene back yard has lots of table land and ultimate privacy - there's no public space beyond. If you want to enjoy the Taylor Creek Park system the entrance is at the end of the block.

Surrounded by established homes & new builds, this is your chance to own a very special home that speaks to calm, stillness and nature in the heart of the city.

Incredible character and features

The main floor features 100+ year old wide plank reclaimed hardwood floors, an open concept living space with vaulted ceiling & skylights - all overlooking the ravine that dips down to a tributary of Taylor-Massey Creek.

The kitchen ceiling is vaulted with 2 skylights creating an incredible light filled home. The lower level, accessed by a gorgeous reclaimed wood staircase has a room that can be used as a 3rd bedroom or rec room. There's a full 4 pc. bathroom, and the entry is heated with a wet bar/kitchenette and dedicated yoga space.

Privacy & income potential

Another unique feature of the home is that the the other side of the lower level has been converted into a jr 1 bedroom suite with separate laundry, 2 separate entrances, a deck, kitchenette & bedroom with 3 pc ensuite & egress window.

It's completely separated from the rest of the house and has been carefully and thoughtfully designed with privacy in mind - right down to a separate outdoor space and deck with privacy screen.

The ravine

The serene back yard has lots of tableland and ultimate privacy - there's no public space beyond. If you want to enjoy the Taylor Creek Park system the entrance is at the end of the block. With a gently sloping yard, there's lots of space to enjoy. Set back from the other homes, it's a truly private oasis.

Surrounded by established homes & new builds, this is your chance to own a very special home that speaks to calm, stillness and nature in the heart of the city.

2025 vs. 2026 Changes in Real Estate Scarborough

Have you ever heard of a DiSC personality test? Well this blog post is for all the high D's out there (read below for what this means)

My head was crunching numbers this week, especially given the interest rate hike of .25% yesterday & the election this week - with a promise to lift the land transfer tax. What would all this mean for real estate in Scarborough? So I thought I'd start out at the beginning and look at what's happening this year. My objective is to look at the following data:

How much has the median price changed vs. this time last year
Current inflation rate
How much are sales numbers up or down? (West Hill is a surprise)
How many years does it take for house prices to double in south east Scarborough?

Inflation rate with fuel: 3.1% Without: 2%

What does this mean? BOC wants to hold inflation to 2% Everythings expensive, now mortgage rates got more expensive; about $40-$50 per $500,000 per month

Change in Median Home Sale Prices south east Scarborough vs. Toronto 2026

Toronto	1,230,000	1,200,000	-30,000	-2.44
Centennial Scarborough	1,100,002	1,077,500	-22,502	-2.05
West Rouge	1,100,002	1,020,000	-80,002	-7.27
West Hill	900,000	830,000	-70,000	-7.78

What does this mean: house prices have dropped since 2025 same time frame. Centennial follows the rest of Toronto, West Hill has the biggest swing. But surprisingly West Hill has had an increase in sales - I guess the large price drop creates great value for buyers.

Change in number of home sales south east Scarborough vs. Toronto 2026

Freehold Homes	Number of Sales 2025	2026 YTD
Toronto	9,471	9,279
Centennial Scarborough	95	80
West Rouge	80	42
West Hill	94	107

What does this mean: reflective of what I'm feeling right now - a slowdown in sales. West Hill sale prices have dropped to be very attractive to buyers especially in that below $830,000 price range.

How long does it take home prices to double in south east Scarborough?

This is a stat that came up in a meeting the other day - that house prices in Toronto double every 10 years - I think they mean freehold. In southeast Scarborough here's when house prices have doubled:

Centennial, Scarborough - doubled since 2012 (14 years)

West Rouge, Scarborough - doubled since 2015 (11 years)

West Hill, Scarborough - doubled since 2016 (13 years)

What is a DiSC personality test?

A DiSC assessment is a behavioral assessment tool used to improve communication, leadership, and team performance by identifying four primary personality styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. Organizations worldwide use DiSC to develop stronger leaders, improve workplace communication, and build more effective teams. A high "D" personality wants quick, fact-based answers (think CEO)

For those of you against home staging!

Home stage to sell it doesn’t mean you have to make your home feel like it’s not yours anymore!

I firmly believe Home staging help sell a house, especially in this market, we’re in right now where it’s quite unpredictable.

Owners still live in many of the homes that I stage; some people have a BIG resistance to staging; here are some of their most common concernts:

house won’t feel like their own anymore
we have to remove all the furniture and replace it
they will have to pay for it
when they bought the house, it wasn't staged so why do they have to do it now?

So why do we stage homes to sell - here are 10 of the most common reasons staging works?

Sometimes the rooms are empty and needs furniture to show buyers how the space is to be used
Buyer's can't visualize what furniture will fit in an empty room
The space is cluttered so staging & re-arranging the furniture will show off the space to its best
Staging helps de-personalize a property to sell so that it appeals to today’s current buyers.
Removing your personal effects to stage protects your privacy
Staged homes look better in pictures
Neutral decor appeals to the most buyers possible
A staged home looks move-in ready
Staging a home can help appeal to the target buyer (think replacing a home office with a nursery, or creating a teen hang out in the basement)
A staged home helps you compete with other homes that aren't staged

A lot of times it just looks like your house, but better!
