If you’re in the market to purchase your own personal park -- in the middle of the city, no less -- then you’re in luck. And, as an added bonus, it comes with a gorgeous house right in the coveted South Rosedale/Moore Park neighbourhood. 

With fresh, editorial-worthy renovations, a stately exterior, and an abundance of natural light, the newly listed semi-detached home at 17 Dunbar Road is attractive in its own right. But it’s the backyard that really has us swooning over -- and daydreaming about -- this Toronto property. The home sits on 0.21 acres of land that widens to a very rare 104 ft at the back.


With its massive size, the possibilities of the fully-fenced yard are truly endless: resort-style swimming pool, professional tennis courts, a hockey rink, dog park business.... You could pretty much have them all at once (or, should you choose, sever part of the lot or add a garden suite). 

The historic home was taken down to the studs and renovated with luxury interior finishes and detailing. The stunning kitchen -- the arguable crown jewel of the home (aside from the park) -- opens up into this beautiful backyard oasis, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. 

The peaceful and pristine primary suite overlooks the endless backyard and features an incredible walk-in closet and dreamy ensuite. In fact, each of the five bedrooms is complete with its own ensuite. 

The Specs:

Other notable features of the home include herringbone white oak hardwood floors, Italian marble, and Zucchetti fixtures.

The sprawling property can all be yours for a cool $5,649,000 (a deal, in some respects, for a personal urban park).
