West Shore detached homes for sale

Detached houses in West Shore range from 1970s two-storey brick homes on the northern streets near Bayly Street to 1960s bungalows, side-splits and custom rebuilds on the deep lots closer to Frenchman's Bay and the lake. The southern band is where the interest concentrates: Park Crescent, Cliffview Road, Sunrise Avenue and the lower end of West Shore Boulevard carry properties that began as cottages, and every second sale seems to be either a renovated original or a new house built for the view. Buyers pay for lot depth, mature trees and sightlines to the water, so a survey, the TRCA's regulated-area mapping and the top-of-bank line belong in the first conversation rather than the last. On older houses, check the foundation and drainage on the lakeward side, the age of septic-to-sewer conversions if any, and whether additions were permitted. Dunbarton High School, Father Fenelon Catholic School and the Whites Road interchange are within a few minutes of every street.
