179 Old Yonge Street is listed for almost $4 million in the private enclave of Hogg's Hollow, one of the most affluent 'hoods in the city's north-end. The five bedroom, eight bathroom house was completely rebuilt this past winter, revived with a new modern design and a flair for innovative building materials.
Located near Yonge and York Mills, the house has seen a price drop -- a 10 per cent decrease since it was first on the market. No doubt this upscale neighbourhood is a pricey one with private botanical gardens, the historic Miller Tavern at the bottom of the hill, and homes lined with outdoor swimming pools, backyard tennis courts and cedar decks.
The hefty price tag shouldn't shock you on this street. Some nearby mega-mansions, resembling a mini Casa Loma, are priced higher, and in this area, you'll get more property space than further downtown in a narrow Yorkville Victorian. This multi-room property is not the fanciest on the block and slightly more intimate at 5,300 square feet.
With a new build, you can construct almost anything you'd want. The architect (and its owners) opted for simplicity; a space defining layout and clean lines. There's nothing too gutsy about the overall design--unless you want to throw in some bold colours or a gold-plated sculpture -- you can really make this house your own.

GOOD FOR
Heated floor, stilettos and a massive walk-in closest. This sprawling layout was made for dancing around in high heels or barefoot, thanks to heated floors on the main and second levels. At 5,300 square feet and eight bathrooms, you'll never room out of space and the upper walk-in closest is wider and larger than some bachelor apartments.
MOVE ON IF
You need a fully landscaped backyard. Where's the infinity swimming pool and underwater stereo? Where's the tennis court, outdoor fire pit and waterfall? In this upscale neighbourhood, one would expect a lush landscaped yard with all the trimmings. This corner lot has potential but only if you want to spend more dough for almost $4 mil.
