About this home

You've designed this house in your head a hundred times. Someone finally finished it for you. Rebuilt from the studs in 2026, 5 North Drive is a true studs-up renovation: new walls, wiring, plumbing, windows, and mechanicals, engineered and permitted to be lived for decades. It sits on a quiet Hunt Club street in Birchcliff, minutes from the lake. Engineered hardwood runs through the main and second floors, and Black Beauty trim carries you from the dining room to the custom Foson kitchen: dark flat-slab cabinetry, fluted glass, warm vertical grain, and warm quartz waterfalling off the peninsula, with a coffee bar, double wall oven, five-burner gas cooktop, and workstation sink. The living room gathers around a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling sliders opening to the deck, patio, and deep backyard. The main floor is completed with a walk-in foyer closet, separate pantry, and mudroom off the attached garage. Smart-home comforts are built in throughout, from climate control to a smart toilet in the primary ensuite. Upstairs holds four true bedrooms and two full baths, led by a primary suite with built-in closets and a five-piece ensuite: freestanding tub, separate shower, and double vanity. Second-floor laundry with quartz counters, plus a dedicated second furnace and AC so the upstairs holds its own climate. The lower level is a complete legal two-bedroom apartment with separate entrance, high ceilings, heated floors, full kitchen, and large rec room: in-law suite, nanny quarters, or rental income. The 40 x 125 foot lot invites garden suite or pool potential under current bylaws (buyer to verify). Steps away, Blantyre Park is building a brand-new park and outdoor pool. Walk to Kingston Road Village in minutes, down Fallingbrook to the water, with Queen St E and the boardwalk within reach, and the Danforth GO reaching Union in about ten minutes. Birchcliff has quietly become one of the East End's most sought-after addresses, and this is the house that shows why.
