From the listing brokerage
Fully renovated and reimagined residence in Forest Hill South, 217 Chaplin Crescent offers a refined, design-forward lifestyle, backing right on the Beltline Trail, and only moments from prestigious schools, boutique shopping, and transit. The open-concept main floor makes an immediate statement, wrapped in custom architectural paneling and built-in cabinetry that lend warmth, texture, and a sense of tailored luxury. Sunlight pours through oversized windows, illuminating the seamless flow between living, dining, and kitchen spaces. The chef-inspired kitchen anchors the floor with sleek cabinetry and generous prep space, while a striking centre island features an integrated family table. The large walk-out to a sun-drenched deck, blurs the line between the polished interior and serene outdoor living. Ascend to a primary retreat designed to indulge, complete with a wall of custom built-in closets and a spa inspired ensuite finished with a custom double vanity - a private sanctuary of calm. Two further bedrooms offer versatility and generous proportions, the second appointed with a bespoke desk nook (or convert to a walk-in dressing room), the third with abundant closet space. Second-floor laundry adds an effortless layer of convenience. The fully finished lower level is equally impressive, offering two additional bedrooms or sophisticated home offices, a sleek kitchenette, and a separate entrance - a seamless suite ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental income. Outside, you have parking for 5 cars and double gates for addition privacy and security. The backyard is a private oasis: an expansive entertainer's deck, refined interlock patio and driveway, and a fully finished and insulated garage that can be used as a studio or living space. Lots of green space backing directly onto a tranquil walking trail, offering rare privacy and an enviable connection to nature.

What it costs to buy 217 Chaplin Crescent
At the asking price of $2,499,000, 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 | $2,499,000 |
|---|---|
| Ontario land transfer tax | $48,950 |
| Toronto municipal land transfer tax | $48,950 |
| Both taxes | $97,900 |
| First-time buyer relief, if you qualify | up to $8,475 |
| Minimum down payment | $499,800 |
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 (2025) | $9,788 a year, about $816 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 550 detached house sales in the City of Toronto in August 2026, at a median price of $1,170,000 and an average of $1,525,749. This home is listed at $2,499,000, which is $1,329,000 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 radiant.
- 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, 35 by 120 feet.
- Ask about permits. Ask which renovations had building permits and whether those permits were closed. The listing shows 2 kitchens. If there is a second unit, ask whether it meets the municipality's rules for one.
- 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. The listing has a virtual tour, but 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.
