Is this Canada’s most expensive home?
If you love a good spa, but not the people, this home is the answer. Located in the Bridle Path neighbourhood, the description for the $26.8 million home sounds like a travel ad: natural light cascades, floor-to-ceiling windows and a two-storey arboretum with gardens, fish pond, vaulted glass ceiling and adjoining theatre and music room.
Palatial estate has hosted royalty and Pavarotti
This 21-room, $18.8 million stone mansion sits majestically behind a rustic stone wall, a hint at the historic ambience of the home that was once owned by the late Steve Stavro, from 1981 until his death in 2006 at the age of 78.
The estate has been renovated and updated with incredible craftsmanship while preserving the original character and sophistication.

LUXURY REAL ESTATE in Toronto is
moderating. Homes are sitting longer, and that
translates to precious time for buyers looking for
the perfect house. One hedge against the market
souring is purchasing on a signature street with
cachet. Herewith, three mansions on primo
Toronto turf.
$10 million mansion on market
THIS FOREST HILL Road mansion, formerly part of the Rogers’ family fortune, is on the market for the reduced price of $9.6 million. Yes, reduced.
Following a major renovation in 2008, the home offers unsurpassed quality and amenities, not the least of which is the driveway that automatically melts snow and a pet shower.
T.O. mayoral candidates lack solid vision: Stinson
Development is a long, slow, costly process and if the planning principles, political direction and economic health of a community are unstable, developers tend to seek other pastures.
The current crop of mayoral candidates is unnerving. The policies are thrown together, inconsistent and impractical.
Harry Stinson is a high-profile real estate developer and entrepreneur.
One-of-a-kind homes on the market

Endless summer on tap south of the border

smarting from the recent recession, and a
favourable exchange rate, now might be time to
consider fulfilling your dream of oceanfront
living south of the border. Herewith,
