$875,000
From the listing brokerage
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in a desirable Toronto neighbourhood, this well-loved semi-detached home offers a rare setting with incredible potential. Backing directly onto expansive greenspace and the Lambton Golf & Country Club, the home enjoys a peaceful natural backdrop that makes the backyard feel like it goes on forever. Lovingly held by the same family since new, this is a home filled with history and ready for its next chapter. The main floor features a spacious living and dining room, original hardwood floors and a kitchen overlooking the backyard and beautiful setting beyond. Upstairs, the generous primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed, along with two additional bedrooms and a 4-piece bath. One of the bedrooms previously housed a kitchen, offering interesting possibilities for buyers looking for a flexible layout. The lower level adds even more usable space with a rec room that could easily serve as an additional bedroom, home office, playroom or cozy den. With solid bones, a great layout and plenty of opportunity to make it your own, this is a home with exciting potential in a truly special setting. A detached one-car garage adds even more value. Surrounded by nature yet remarkably connected, enjoy easy access to the Humber River trail system, Lambton Park, Smythe Park, Summerhill Market, transit, schools and shopping. Bloor West Village and The Junction are also within easy reach, offering an incredible selection of shops, restaurants and local favourites. Convenient access to Hwy 401 and Pearson Airport makes getting around the city and beyond easy, while the future Eglinton Crosstown West Extension will bring even more transit connectivity with a new station planned at Scarlett Road and Eglinton Avenue West.

What it costs to buy 228 Eileen Avenue
At the asking price of $875,000, 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 | $875,000 |
|---|---|
| Ontario land transfer tax | $13,975 |
| Toronto municipal land transfer tax | $13,975 |
| Both taxes | $27,950 |
| First-time buyer relief, if you qualify | up to $8,475 |
| Minimum down payment | $62,500 |
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
| Property tax (2025) | $4,087 a year, about $341 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 $875,000, which is $106,000 below 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, 30 by 108.08 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. 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.
