Welcome to a warm and character-filled family home nestled on a rare corner lot in one of North York's most established and sought-after residential pockets — York University Heights. Completely vacant and newly renovated from top to bottom, this property is a true blank canvas offering production teams total creative freedom in a serene, green urban setting.
The Property & Setting
Situated on a rarely offered corner lot measuring 60ft x 129ft on a quiet crescent, this detached home offers the ultimate in privacy and safety. The generous lot size, extended front porch, and mature surrounding greenery create a warm, lived-in neighbourhood aesthetic that is increasingly rare to find in Toronto. The area offers a perfect balance of suburban charm and urban convenience, with a feels-like-rural quality that makes it ideal for productions seeking an authentic residential backdrop.
The Main Living Areas
The main level offers a large living room with large windows, a dining room, and a newly renovated kitchen featuring quartz counters, quartz backsplash, and new cabinets. Every room is bathed in natural light, offering excellent conditions for natural light photography and filming across all hours of the day.
The Bedrooms
With five spacious bedrooms spread across multiple levels, this property offers production teams a rare versatility — multiple distinct interior environments within a single location. The second level offers three spacious bedrooms, a linen closet, and a fully renovated full bathroom. An in-between floor offers an additional bedroom, mudroom with closet, full bathroom, and access to the backyard. Each room offers a unique angle, scale, and natural light quality ideal for multi-scene shoots.
The Renovation
Newly renovated top to bottom while preserving the original hardwood underneath — renovation includes kitchen, flooring, tiles, lighting, painting, stairs, closets, bathrooms, and crown moulding. The result is a home that feels fresh and contemporary while retaining its authentic residential character — a combination productions rarely find in a single location.
The Outdoor Setting & Green Pocket
The property features amazing curb appeal with an extended porch to enjoy the sunshine. Nearby parks include Derry Downs Park, Sentinel Park, and Fountainhead Park — all within walking distance, offering additional outdoor filming options just steps from the property. The corner lot positioning provides natural separation from neighbouring properties, creating a sense of seclusion and green space on multiple sides of the home.
Production Logistics
The property features a double car garage and four car parking on the driveway — accommodating up to 6 vehicles in total. The in-between floor also offers a separate entrance to the backyard, ideal for equipment load-in and load-out without disrupting other areas of the property. As a completely vacant home, productions have unrestricted access on any date with no resident coordination required.
Proximity & Accessibility
Easy access to Highway 401, 400, and 407, Yorkdale Shopping Mall, York University, and 24-hour TTC service — making this one of the most accessible residential filming locations in North York for cast and crew coming from across the GTA. Downsview Park, one of Canada's largest urban parks, is just minutes away and frequently used as an additional outdoor backdrop by Toronto productions.
