From the curb, 7 Relmar Road is striking — it’s full of interesting angles and nooks, and it looks nothing like the other homes on its street in Toronto’s Forest Hill. Inside, it unfolds into a much bigger-seeming space, helped by a clever use of space and the huge, 2-storey wall of windows on the building’s eastern face.

The 3 + 1 bedroom semi-detached — complete with heated exterior walkways, two green roofs and its own elevator — is now on the market for $2,795,000.

“I love this house,” Forest Hill Real Estate’s Roman Gofman said. “That’s why we’re not rushing to sell it — I don’t want to let go.” But he doesn’t think it will take long to sell. “We’ve had a lot of response,” he said. “I say within the next couple of weeks we’re going to sell it.”

Key details:

• Designed by architect Luc Boulaine, built by Mazenga Building Group
• Approximately 2,900 sq. ft.
• 3 + 1 bedrooms
• 4 bathrooms
• 21 X 128 ft. lot
• Emergency backup generator on the roof
• One parking space in the garage and one outside
• Green roofs on the garage and main building
• An elevator running to all four floors
• Asking price: $2,795,000
• MLS ID: C3476147
• Contact: Julie Gofman, Forest Hill Real Estate, jgofman@trebnet.com, 416–488–2875

The kitchen: The Liebherr French door integrated fridge is tucked away next to the oven and microwave. A washroom and the elevator are behind the doors along the wall near the entrance.

The elevator, because who needs stairs anyway?

The view of the main floor facing west. The brickwork that leads to the garage is heated to melt the snow in the winter.

Inside, the wall on the the right is soundproofed with a one-foot-thick “party wall,” which includes four layers of drywall, spray foam and a 3″ air gap. “You can’t hear anything,” Gofman says. “It’s completely private.”
