LUXURY REAL ESTATE in Toronto is moderating. Homes are sitting longer, and that translates to precious time for buyers looking for the perfect house. One hedge against the market souring is purchasing on a signature street with cachet. Herewith, three mansions on primo Toronto turf.

Join the horsey set

The Bridle Path doesn’t just have cachet locally, it has an international reputation for quality and exclusivity. This home, pegged at $10.5 million, backs onto Edwards Gardens and Wilket Creek Park.

The five-bedroom, four-bathroom, two fireplace home oozes a romantic style unmatched in the city.

The high life on Highland

Located on one of Rosedale’s most desirable cul-de-sacs, this $3.395 million Highland Drive home is an immaculate example of Georgian-style architecture.

It sits on a terraced ravine lot with a pool. Luxurious features include multiple French doors, coved ceilings and a stunning third-floor loft studio.

Storming the castle

What would make a better neighbour than the city’s own castle, Casa Loma.

This gorgeous retreat, on the market for $4.190 million, offers everything from a wine cellar and master bedroom with marble ensuite and sauna to a living room with heated stone floor and wall-to-wall bow windows.
