From the listing brokerage
The Carson & Dunlop home inspector said it best: "This is a spectacular renovation." This renovation/addition is a true labour of love done by an owner with exquisite taste and an eye for quality and detail. She didn't plan on moving, but plans change and now you get the rare opportunity to live in this stunning home. The sparkling white kitchen with it's spacious island features top of the line appliances (Miele and Fisher Paykel) and has every bell and whistle you could want. Combined with the open concept living and dining rooms, this bright and light space is perfect for entertaining. The family room has floor to ceiling windows and doors leading to the fabulous deck and private garden - ideal for relaxing or socializing with friends and family. There are four gorgeous bathrooms including a handy main floor powder room and a primary bedroom ensuite. Do you like exposed brick walls, glass railings and custom sliding barn doors? You'll find them here. You will also find a fully finished basement for extra space. This home has been extensively renovated from top to bottom (pre-listing inspection report available) including kitchen, 4 bathrooms, HVAC, 200 amp electric, plumbing, Pella windows, engineered hardwood flooring, glass railings, drywall, deck and so much more! Another rare bonus - it has 2 parking spaces, one legal front yard space and a fantastic garage off Heather Street. To top it all off, this is one of the very best neighbourhoods in the city, known as John Ross, after the local public school. You can walk to the subway and all the great shops and restaurants on this part of Yonge. The public schools here (the aforementioned John Ross Robertson, Glenview, Lawrence Park Collegiate and North Toronto Collegiate) are highly regarded and you'll be close to private schools like UCC, Havergal, St. Clement's and Toronto French. It doesn't get any better than this so don't miss out on this one of a kind opportunity.

What it costs to buy 156 Craighurst Avenue
At the asking price of $2,100,000, a buyer pays two land transfer taxes on closing: the Ontario tax and the City of Toronto's municipal tax. Both apply to every home inside the City.
| Asking price | $2,100,000 |
|---|---|
| Ontario land transfer tax | $38,975 |
| Toronto municipal land transfer tax | $38,975 |
| Both taxes | $77,950 |
| First-time buyer relief, if you qualify | up to $8,475 |
| Minimum down payment | $420,000 |
The down payment figure is the federal minimum: 20 percent, because a home at $1.5 million or more cannot carry mortgage default insurance. A lender can ask for more. These figures use the asking price, so they change if you pay more or less. The rates above $2,000,000 used here are the ones for a home with one or two single family residences. A property with more units is taxed differently. Legal fees, title insurance and adjustments are extra: ask your lawyer for a written quote. This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Confirm the figures with a lawyer or accountant. You can change the price in our land transfer tax calculator and our mortgage calculator.
What it costs to own each month
| Property tax (2026) | $9,599 a year, about $800 a month |
|---|
That is before a mortgage payment, home insurance and utilities. The listing shows no monthly maintenance fee, so upkeep of the building and the lot is the owner's own cost.
How the asking price compares
TRREB recorded 159 semi-detached house sales in the City of Toronto in August 2026, at a median price of $981,000 and an average of $1,110,639. This home is listed at $2,100,000, which is $1,119,000 above that median.
The median covers every neighbourhood, size and condition in the City of Toronto, so it is a reference point and not a valuation of this home. Location, size, lot, parking and condition all move the price. Our Toronto house prices page has the figures for every home type.
What to check before you make an offer
- Book a home inspection. An inspector looks at the roof, foundation, wiring, plumbing and heating. The listing gives the heating as forced air.
- Have a lawyer search the title. A title search shows mortgages, liens and easements registered against the property. Ask whether a survey exists and whether it matches the lot on the listing, 19.31 by 134 feet.
- Ask about permits. Ask which renovations had building permits and whether those permits were closed.
- Confirm what is included. Appliances, light fixtures and window coverings are included only if the agreement says so. Ask whether the water heater or furnace is rented.
- Get your financing in writing. A lender looks at the property tax and heating costs as well as the price.
- See it in person. Photos do not show noise, light at different hours or the state of the street and the homes beside it.
Our first-time home buyer guide and our page for buyers walk through each step. This is general information, not legal advice. Confirm the details with a lawyer.
