House of the week: 162 Aldwych Avenue

This ultra modern three level house, just east of the Danforth, is on the market for $1,488,000. Located at 162 Aldwych Avenue, the standout east side home is sitting pretty with its boxy wood facade and transparent glass back overlooking the fenced-in yard.

The four bedroom has almost 3,000 square feet of space and high ceilings framed by a skylight. There are a few fun features like the winding glass staircase (spread over five levels), a custom wine rack on the lower level, built-in speakers and other high tech gadgets like the video intercom.

Don't knock the location. East Yorkers love their neighbourhood -- feeling more like a suburb with larger property spaces and limited towering high-rises blocking the view. It's quieter than the Danforth (especially during that crowded summer festival) and accessible by transit.

GOOD FOR

This property has a lot to offer for a growing family. The home is quite large for an urban dwelling with four bedrooms, five baths and three car parking. A laundry room on the second floor will also prove useful if you have young kids or perhaps, sore knees.

MOVE ON IF

You'd rather pay almost $1.5 million to live right in Greektown. It's my big fat Greek housing market in T.O. right now. You can't purchase much for under a million but realistically, you can still buy a decent size property for the same price (or less) closer to "the Danny."
