8 Highbourne Road 1: condo townhouse for sale
$1,488,000
From the listing brokerage
Behind the stately façade of 8 Highbourne Road is a remarkably spacious Forest Hill residence offering over 1,700 square feet of living space across two thoughtfully arranged levels. With 3+1 bedrooms and three bathrooms, this condominium townhouse delivers the scale and versatility of a house with the ease of condominium ownership. The open-concept main level creates a natural gathering place, with hardwood flooring, crown moulding, recessed lighting and radiant in-floor heating. A dramatic full-height stone gas fireplace anchors the living area, while expansive windows and a glass door fill the space with natural light and extend the living space onto an open balcony with a leafy outlook. At the centre of the home is a substantial kitchen designed for both everyday life and entertaining. Full-height cabinetry provides an impressive amount of storage, while quartz countertops, a generous centre island with seating, a gas cooktop and stainless steel appliances create a space that is as functional as it is inviting. The flexible additional room can serve as a private office, den, guest room or quiet retreat, while extensive internal storage, in-suite laundry, three ceiling-mounted air-conditioning units and direct access from the attached garage add everyday practicality. Complete with one exclusive-use garage parking space and exceptionally low monthly maintenance fees, this is an offering that is difficult to replicate at this price point in Forest Hill. Step outside and enjoy one of Toronto's most established neighbourhoods, with green space directly across Chaplin Crescent and shops, restaurants and transit nearby. UCC is practically at the doorstep, BSS is close by, and Deer Park Public School and North Toronto Collegiate are among the area's respected schools. Spacious, warm and exceptionally well located, this is an opportunity to enjoy the Forest Hill lifestyle with room to make the home entirely your own.

What it costs to buy 8 Highbourne Road 1
At the asking price of $1,488,000, 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 | $1,488,000 |
|---|---|
| Ontario land transfer tax | $26,235 |
| Toronto municipal land transfer tax | $26,235 |
| Both taxes | $52,470 |
| First-time buyer relief, if you qualify | up to $8,475 |
| Minimum down payment | $123,800 |
The down payment figure is the federal minimum: 5 percent of the first $500,000 and 10 percent of the rest. A lender can ask for more. These figures use the asking price, so they change if you pay more or less. 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
| Maintenance fee | $413 a month |
|---|---|
| Property tax (2026) | $5,525 a year, about $460 a month |
| Fee and tax together | about $873 a month |
The listing says the maintenance fee includes building insurance and common elements. That is before a mortgage payment, home insurance and any utilities the fee does not cover. Fees are set each year in the corporation's budget and can change. The status certificate shows the current fee, the budget behind it and the reserve fund.
How the asking price compares
TRREB recorded 120 condo townhouse sales in the City of Toronto in August 2026, at a median price of $661,650 and an average of $712,296. This home is listed at $1,488,000, which is $826,350 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
- Order the status certificate. A condo corporation must provide it within 10 days of a request and can charge up to $100. It shows the fee for this unit, any arrears, the budget, the reserve fund balance and any special assessment or lawsuit the corporation knows about.
- Have a lawyer read it. The certificate comes with the declaration, by-laws and rules. Ask what they say about pets, renting the unit and renovations. The listing gives pets as "Yes-with Restrictions".
- Confirm the parking and locker. The listing shows 1 parking space. Ask whether each is owned, exclusive use or rented. Get the unit numbers.
- Check the reserve fund study. Ask when the last study was done and what it says about contributions.
- Get your financing in writing. A lender looks at the maintenance fee and the property tax as well as the price.
- See it in person. The listing has a virtual tour, but photos do not show noise, light at different hours or the state of the hallways and elevators.
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.
