The Toronto house that Meghan Markle used to rent while filming Suits is up for sale. The single-family home at 10 Yarmouth Road is situated in the heart of the Annex’s Seaton Village and has a price tag of $1,895,000.
The house was initially purchased for $508,000 in 2007. The owners rented the upper-middle class property to Markle (on behalf of her studio) for at least two years during the early 2010s before selling it in 2018 for $1.6 million (with an original asking price of $1,395,000); this was prior to Markle’s marriage to Prince Harry and her temporary move to the UK.
The two-storey, three-bedroom home is located near Bathurst and Dupont Streets, in a neighbourhood reportedly filled with other creatives, including actors and musicians. The new owner can expect to pay annual property taxes of about $7,935.32.
The renovated, detached home is private and features elegant high-end finishes, including a “Tiffany” doorway, a remodelled front porch, a second-floor skylight, three sun-filled bedrooms (including a spacious primary bedroom with a closet and built-in wardrobe), and two spa-inspired bathrooms. A custom-designed eat-in chef’s kitchen with a walk-out to a private backyard will be a perfect place for families to entertain.
The interior features new wide-plank hardwood flooring and a completely renovated basement with a luxurious three-piece bathroom and customized built-ins. The spacious double-car detached garage is off the laneway and features a Tesla charger. For those who prefer transit, it’s only a 10-minute walk from the Christie subway station.
The house is located in a coveted neighbourhood, with several grocery stores within walking distance, and is only a few minutes away from the Frankel-Lambert Park, which features a children’s playground, walking paths, and a peaceful open common area for visitors to enjoy. The neighborhood has close to 5000 residents (including a few celebrities), primarily in the 20-34 and 35-49 age groups.
The next open houses are scheduled for Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday this week.
