Address: 56 Binscarth Road
Neighbourhood: Rosedale-Moore Park
Agent: Mimi Wood and Lisa Robinson, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, Brokerage
Price: $6,675,000

The Place: A detached, fully renovated brick-and-stone home on one of Rosedale’s prettiest tree-lined streets.

Bragging Rights: The gargantuan master bedroom has a terrace big enough to entertain at least 25 of the owner’s closest friends.

Big Selling Point: It’s an older property, but this completely reconstructed home puts to bed any stereotypes about shoebox-sized rooms covered in dusty paint. Designed by Ray Murakami and Powell & Bonnell, the interior has grand common rooms, bedrooms with en suite baths and top-of-the-line finishes.

Possible Deal Breaker: With five bedrooms on the upper floors and two in the basement, it would take a lot of people to make this house feel full.
