Bridle Path area in Toronto is exclusive and opulent
By
Mark Schadenberg
Sometimes
real estate terms are over-used such as unique, one-of-a-kind,
opulent, spectacular or perhaps even the 'best-of-the-best' property.
What
happens, therefore, when the best building lot in Toronto does become
available? No matter the asking price, the value could be apparent as
market value truly is defined as what someone is willing to pay for a parcel of
land.
Currently,
famed Canadian businessman Conrad Blank has listed a lot in his
neighbourhood and it adjoins his private residence.
Black
always seems to be in the limelight, including a current media book
tour to promote his latest called: “Rise to
Greatness: The History of Canada from the Vikings to the Present.”
His history prose takes the reader back to the days of Samuel
deChamplain and up to present time.

Black,
who was born in Montreal and is now 71, was convicted of fraud in the
U.S. back in 2007 and served more than three years in prison.
Besides
his other ventures, Black has worked on severing off 2.8 acres from his Bridle Path property in Toronto. He will certainly retain the
remaining 6.5 acres (approximately) and his Georgian-style mansion
there.
Still
known also as Baron Black of Crossharbour thanks to his position in
Britain's House Of Lords (non-affiliated member), the Conrad Black
'building lot' property on Park Lane Circle is listed for a mere $7.2
million.
If
you wander through www.realtor.ca
in the GTA, you will quickly see several stunning (I think it's a
correct description) homes, including three links I've included below
in this Bridle Path enclave (another word I don't like). Recently,
according to the Toronto Star story also attached here, one Bridle
Path (Just south of the 401, and east off Bayview Avenue, but west of
the 404 – or Don Valley Parkway) home sold recently for over $14
million.
A
listing at 46 Park Lane Circle has an asking price of $16.9 million.
I read the listing and the amenities are staggering, for this French
chateau style 2-storey including 10 bathrooms, an 8-car garage, and
found on a 4-acre lot with a ravine setting.
Everything
is relative when analyzing GTA real estate and its buyers and
sellers.
You
must remember, at one time about 20 years ago, Black had controlling
interest (Hollinger International) in over 400 publications.
