For the few months of the year when Toronto weather actually cooperates, having the perfect backyard can make all the difference.
And the backyard at 48 Wimpole Dr. is about as close to a private summer resort as you're going to get without leaving the city.
The sprawling home, currently listed for $7,380,000, sits on a gated, estate-sized lot in North York.
The gated entrance.
Surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, the property offers plenty of privacy, which is probably a good thing considering you'll never have a reason to leave your backyard again.

The infinity pool.
At the centre of the outdoor space is a massive 15-metre infinity pool surrounded by Brazilian Ipe wood decking.

The backyard movie set up.
There's also a hot tub, cabana, two outdoor fireplaces, and the perfect setup for backyard movie nights.

The cabana with a fireplace.
Plus, there's plenty of space for lounging, dining, and entertaining.

The infrared sauna.
And when you've had enough time in the sun, you can retreat to either the Finnish sauna or the infrared sauna, because one type of sauna is never enough.

The formal living room.
The inside of the newly renovated home is every bit as extravagant as the outside.

The foyer.
The grand foyer features a dramatic two-storey leaded glass skylight and twin Scarlet O'Hara staircases.

The dining room.
The formal living and dining rooms feature soaring ceilings, intricate crown mouldings, and enough space to host a massive party.

The kitchen.
At the heart of the home is a handcrafted Falcon kitchen with leather-finished granite countertops, copper accents, built-in appliances, and an adjoining servery.

The office.
There's also a richly panelled main-floor office with its own separate walkout.

The primary bedroom.
Upstairs, you'll find five bedrooms, each with its own ensuite.

The primary ensuite.
The primary ensuite is wrapped in Calacatta marble and features dual rain showers and a solid wood double vanity.

The breakfast dining area and the family room.
Other luxury features include a butler's kitchenette, extensive custom detailing, and an elevator shaft.

The billiards room.
Of course, all that luxury hasn't made finding a buyer easy, especially in a neighbourhood where the average home sells for around $2.7 million.

An upstairs bedroom is currently used as a home office.
The home first hit the market in 2025 with an asking price of $9,388,000 and has since had its price dropped four times.

The gym.
It's now listed for $7,380,000, meaning more than $2 million has been shaved off the original asking price.

The basement.
Whether the latest price reduction will finally be enough to land a buyer remains to be seen. The most expensive home to sell in the area so far this year went for just over $5 million.

The family room.
But with a backyard like this, whoever eventually moves in might have a hard time convincing their friends to leave.
