This gated $17 million Toronto home sold in just five days
While experts are saying the Toronto real estate market is cooling, it's hard to believe them when even multimillion-dollar homes sell in less than a week.
Usually homes priced at $17 million take months, if not years, to sell.
Yet, 63 Old Forest Hill Road was only on the market for five days before it sold for $17,198,000.
The living room with a fireplace, bay window and beamed ceiling.
And that was for asking, which is also pretty unheard of at that price point.

The five-bedroom, eight-bathroom house was built in 1934 and is one of the finest showcases of Tudor-style architecture this side of the Atlantic.

The house has over 7,000-square-feet of living space above ground and more room in the basement with a rec room and extra bedrooms.
The stone wall and iron gates lead to the circular driveway of the home, which then turns into an extended private driveway that leads to a three-car garage.
Although, the reason why it is worth $17 million is the fact that this home has 110-foot frontage and sits on more than a half-acre of land in central Toronto.
The inground pool in the backyard.
Speaking of the land, the backyard is a take on English-style gardens and has an inground pool.

This home may be the exception to the "cooling" market trend but perhaps more likely is that the market isn't actually slowing down that much after all.
