Sold: 6-Bedroom Woodland Hillside Residence Opts For $450k Over Asking

While it’s not surprising to see that a Forest Hill home sold nearly $500k over the asking price, the fact that it sold in just two days is definitely something to be excited about.

Besides being located in one of the city’s most prestigious and covetable neighbourhoods, 212 Forest Hill Road is a six-bedroom and nine-bathroom (nine!) home that’s just steps from the Beltline Trail and offers over 7,800 sq ft of total living space. It also happens to have been designed by Richard Wengle and built by Shane Baghai.

Complete with an attached 2-car garage and a partially heated driveway with space for six cars, this spacious home has more than enough room for a family (including a live-in nanny) to live more than comfortably
