$3 million Toronto house boasts the most incredible views of Lake Ontario

Most Toronto homes come with pretty lacklustre views. You're either staring directly into another building, watching traffic inch along a busy street, or if you're lucky there's a sad little tree doing its best to block the sightline of your neighbour's broken bed frame that's been unceremoniously dumped on the lawn.

79 Fishleigh Dr. is not one of those homes.

In fact, there isn't a bad view anywhere in the house.

A view over the Bluffs. 

Perched dramatically on top of the Scarborough Bluffs, this custom-built home delivers sweeping, year-round Lake Ontario views from nearly every level.

The front entrance. 

Built in 2011 and meticulously upgraded in the years since, the house spans more than 5,000 square feet across four levels.

The living room. 

And somehow, despite all that space and those views, it's currently listed for a price that feels… surprisingly restrained by Toronto standards.

The rooftop terrace. 

But first, let's start at the top. The 875-square-foot rooftop terrace feels less like a Scarborough home and more like a private lakeside resort.

Up here, you'll find a full custom outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ, fridge, sink, storage, and even a gas fireplace.

Realtor Andrew Dunn also notes that the rooftop (and balconies) were recently upgraded with removable porcelain outdoor tiles, which means all the visual impact with none of the maintenance nightmares.

The backyard. 

Outdoor space doesn't stop there, either. The fully fenced backyard has been extensively landscaped for privacy and uninterrupted lake views, while a glass-fenced cliffside patio ensures those sightlines stay forever unobstructed.

A bedroom with a balcony. 

This is one of those rare Toronto homes where every outdoor area feels intentional — not just an afterthought.

Inside, the house doesn't disappoint.

The dining room. 

The main floor offers an open living and dining space that's flooded with natural light, anchored by a kitchen designed for both serious cooking and casual entertaining.

The kitchen. 

Marble countertops, an oversized island overlooking the water, and top-of-the-line appliances make it as functional as it is good-looking.

The family room. 

There's also a separate family room with insulated panelled walls for better acoustics and automated blackout blinds — in other words, it's tailor-made for cozy movie nights.

One of the primary bedroom ensuites. 

In total, 79 Fishleigh Dr. has four bedrooms and five bathrooms. 

The primary bedroom. 

The primary suite is indulgent, featuring two separate ensuite bathrooms, each with its own walk-in closet, heated floors, and spa-level finishes.

The recreation room. 

The lower level adds even more flexibility, with a renovated bathroom, a dedicated gym, a large recreation space, and a partial kitchen designed to function as a nanny or in-law suite.

Views to the backyard. 

And here's the part that really makes you do a double-take.

A home office. 

The property at 79 Fishleigh Dr. is listed for $3,295,000, which feels almost shocking when you consider the sheer number of upgrades — and the fact that the home sold for a similar price of $3,250,000 back in 2020.

In a city where most listings seem to drift further from reality every year, a lake-perched, fully upgraded Toronto home with million-dollar views coming in just $45,000 higher than its last sale feels… almost too good to be true?
