Jordan Peterson's Toronto house just sold for over $2 million

Tucked on one of the most charming tree-lined blocks in Toronto's Seaton Village area, 68 Olive Ave. is a bespoke modern home that's now up for grabs for anyone who loves warm wood tones, smart tech, and doesn't mind that the house was previously owned by controversial psychologist and best-selling author, Jordan Peterson.

While the listing and the realtor didn't confirm ownership, it wasn't difficult to deduce that this was Peterson's house... I mean, the office is the exact same as the one featured in a tour with Dr. Oz. 

But whether or not you agree with Peterson's opinions on culture, gender, and lobster hierarchies, the house is objectively stunning.

"The home is like fine art," says realtor Daniel Freeman. 

The third storey extension and rooftop patio. 

From the outside, the home looks similar to its neighbours until you look up and see the addition that is very unique and almost spacecraft-esque with its domed aluminum roof.  

The living room. 

Inside, 68 Olive Ave. is a masterclass in modern comfort and custom design thanks to the work of Shelley Kirsch Interior Design.

The kitchen. 

"You're walking into a house that's like unwrapping a gift," notes Freeman, who details all the unique features the home has, from a filtered carbonated water tap in the kitchen to the living walls in the backyard. 

The dining room. 

The main floor is warm and layered, with seamless built-ins, integrated lighting, and a layout that feels simultaneously open and intimate.

A bathroom. 

Every corner has been carefully considered—from the rich millwork to the spa-inspired bathrooms and sleek, energy-efficient windows that pour light into the space without sacrificing privacy.

A bedroom with custom built-ins. 

68 Olive Ave. boasts three bedrooms and three bathrooms. 

The office. 

Right now, the home is more set up for a couple with grown-up kids, but Freeman assures that the house could easily be transformed back into a traditional home with more bedrooms. 

The primary bedroom. 

The third-floor loft, designed by Rylett Architects, truly steals the show. Think Muskoka getaway meets urban sophistication.

A lounge area. 

"It's literally like walking into a log cabin," says Freeman, sharing that the walls and the floors were made from reclaimed wood from a Saskatchewan homestead barn and a Brantford hockey arena. 

The patio doors fully retract. 

The vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a private rooftop deck offer rare quiet in the heart of the city. 

The sauna in the basement. 

Downstairs, the lower level goes full wellness retreat with heated radiant floors, a walkout to a lush backyard, and even an infrared sauna.

The backyard. 

Outside, tiered decking, living walls, and retractable awnings make the backyard feel like "a little jungle," as Freeman puts it.

The laundry room. 

Even the utility areas are ridiculously chic.

The garage shed. 

There's a garage-style shed that looks more like a minimalist studio space than a place to store rakes, and every inch of the home is wired with smart climate control and automation.

A reading nook. 

In short, it's the kind of house that offers both headspace and literal space—a home designed for reflection, relaxation, and maybe a bit of online debate.

The main floor. 

"They didn't leave one inch in this house unfinished," said Freeman.

68 Olive Ave. sold for $2,300,000, just slightly above the $2,268,000 asking price.
