53 Coldstream Ave. Toronto

This $5 million Toronto ravine home has a protected view of forests and green space

If you've always wanted to live in the middle of a forest while still being in the city, then have we found the perfect house for you.

Realtors Paul Maranger and Christian Vermast told blogTO that 53 Coldstream Ave. was literally built on the floor of the Coldstream Ravine and is one of the last homes to be grandfathered as an in-ravine home in the city.

Additionally, it's worth mentioning that one of the previous owners also planted more than 350 native trees on the property to help restore the surrounding Coldstream-Kimbark ravine, so the home is now surrounded by birch, basswood, and sugar maple trees.

The living room. 

The best part is this area has since become a city-protected green space, which means your enchanting forest view will never be ruined by an ugly condo tower.

The home is also very cool. Right from the get-go, you'll walk over a literal gang-plank bridge to get to the front door.

A bedroom. 

The large windows let in tons of natural light and the use of natural materials, like oak hardwood floors and walnut cabinetry, creates a very zen-like vibe to the home.

The primary bedroom. 

The bedrooms, while simple, offer the most epic of views of the trees from their windows.

The family room on the lower level. 

There's more living space in the lower level of the house, which, thanks to how the general land works, means you can just walk straight out to the outdoor kitchen and patio dining area.

The backyard. 

The outdoor area is pretty special as well.

All three levels of the home are above grade.
