odd, i don't know how there could be too much traffic, because it's not a through street...i suppose those homes must entertain a lot and have a lot of guests coming and going
yesterday i drove by on the way home and it seemed so different than last time i was there...i could turn around in the drive way because there were contractor trucks there as well as out in front...the whole roof is being redone and there is scaffolding all around the turret...char probably meant there was scaffolding in 2006 also, not 2002, no? anyhow, the entire Rosedale neighbourhood is quite multicultural now...the trees are huge and it's always to easy to get lost in there since the streets don't align with a grid of any sort
because there is no loop at the end of the street, i had to enter that driveway at the and of the street (didnt see the Archbishop, lol) and it was a bit of an awkward 7 point turn
that google satellite map doesn't show it well but the houses on the south side of the street are a good 20' to 100' down into a ravine leading to the Don Valley...Beaumont and Craigleigh Parks are down to the west, lots of cyclists and joggers
when i drive north on hwy6 for a Georgian Bay getaway last month, i saw what appeared to be the exact same home as i passed through an old town...i didnt think to take a pic of either...there were plenty of other homes in that area that i'd love to photograph and are a bit more accessible
i'm sure the Bridle Path home will never have the character the old mansion had but it's got to be easier to access the 401 and DVP from there...you can see some of the interior of the old mansion in the Telescope video (only) posted in the Gord interview thread...
back to your point, yeah, nice setting but if i had that kinda cash i'd like to have more space between my neighbours and myself
