The onetime home of former Toronto mayor George Reginald Geary is listed for a cool $17.7 million through Sotheby\u2019s.<\/p>\n Its eight-figure price tag puts the mayoral manor among the most expensive homes for sale right now in Toronto, where the average resale price was $916,567 as of March, according to the local real estate board.<\/p>\n It also makes it considerably pricier than Donald Trump\u2019s childhood home, which sold for a picayune-by-comparison $2.14 million USD just last month, the New York Times reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n Photo: Sotheby’s<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n \u201cOnly once in a lifetime such a celebrated property becomes available,\u201d reads the exclusive online listing for 124 Park Road<\/a> in southern Rosedale, one of Toronto\u2019s most affluent neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n The 12,000-square-foot historic mansion, which dates back to 1857, is located on a sprawling lot measuring roughly one acre, so hosting mixers of Ford Festian proportions<\/a> shouldn\u2019t be a problem.<\/p>\n Inside, there are two kitchens, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms, as well as a wine cellar and recreation room set up for ball-hockey matches in the basement.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
