This $4M 'mortgage-helper' Ontario home is basically its own side hustle

In a neighbourhood full of sprawling estates and quiet luxury, one Mineola home is doing something a little different.

A newly built, 4,600-square-foot, 4+2-bed custom home at 72 Oakes Dr. is blending high-end design with something Toronto buyers don't often see in this price range: serious income potential. 

Set on a premium corner lot, the property delivers luxury features like a stone and stucco exterior, professional landscaping, and enough parking for six vehicles, but when you step inside, you'll see just how much this place is built to stand out.

A custom-built masterpiece.

The main level opens with a dramatic spiral staircase wrapped in natural light that acts as an architectural centrepiece.

The view when you open the front door — not bad for a first impression!

Pair that with 10-foot coffered ceilings, wide-plank hardwood, and a sleek, oversized chef's kitchen (complete with a waterfall quartz island and top-tier Dacor appliances), and it's easy to see you're on to a real winner.

The kitchen features a 6-burner gas stove and a built-in dishwasher, microwave, and beverage fridge.

Upstairs, the primary suite keeps things indulgent with a spa-inspired ensuite, heated floors, and a freestanding tub, while the additional three bedrooms come equipped with walk-in closets and their own ensuite or semi-ensuite. 

The primary suite showcases tray ceilings and ambient lighting.

But the real treat is downstairs.

Instead of the usual rec room setup, the lower level has been designed as a full-on "income hub," with two separate living spaces.

The first functions as a complete rental suite, featuring its own entrance, two bedrooms, a full kitchen, a bathroom, and private laundry — ideal for long-term tenants or multi-generational living.

The perfect setup for two separate rental suites.

The second space even offers a large recreation area with a wet bar, giving owners flexibility to either keep it for themselves or expand the home’s rental potential. 

Plenty of space for renters or extra family members.

And the perks just keep on coming. Mineola is known for its quiet, residential feel, but at this property, you'll have an added layer of convenience: it’s just a 15-minute walk to the Port Credit GO station, making downtown Toronto accessible in about 25 minutes.

Exterior highlights include professionally landscaped grounds.

For potential buyers, the kind of setup 72 Oakes Dr. offers hits a sweet spot. It delivers the space and design of a custom luxury build, while offering a built-in way to offset the price tag — something that's becoming increasingly top of mind in today's market.

Because let's be real here: if your house can help pay the mortgage, why wouldn't you take advantage of that?!

A double garage and a private driveway make for convenient parking.

 72 Oakes Dr. is currently listed for $3,999,000.
