85 Sylvan Brook Avenue, Woodbridge

Lots like this don't come up. Not in Woodbridge, not anywhere close to the city. Sitting at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with only three other homes on the entire street, this nearly one-acre property backs directly onto a ravine, with the river and a neighborhood playground just steps from your back door. There's no through traffic, no noise, no rush - just mature trees canopying the backyard and that rare, cottage-in-the-city feeling that's almost impossible to find this close to Toronto.The existing bungalow is solid and livable as-is, but the real story here is the land. This is one of the last true estate-sized ravine lots in the area, and the neighborhood has already spoken: custom-built homes surrounding this property are pushing past 10,000 square feet, and this lot has the space and the setting to support the same. Whether you're looking to move in and build your dream home down the road, or start planning your custom estate right away, you're buying into a location that simply cannot be replicated. Ravine lots this size, on a private dead-end street, backing onto green space and water - they get built on once and then they're gone for good.For families, it means a rare kind of childhood: forest out the back window, a playground and river within walking distance, and a street quiet enough that kids can be kids. For builders and end-users alike, it means the chance to create something significant on a piece of land that's already doing most of the work for you.Opportunities like this surface once in a generation, if that. Come see it in person - no description does justice to what it feels like to stand in that backyard.
