46 Forest Hill Road - FOREST HILL

This is a 6+1 bedroom, 8 bathroom house on a 90 x 185.22 foot lot at 46 Forest Hill Road in Forest Hill.

That's kind of awkward.  Maybe there are waterproof curtains for the night time.

This house is listed at $18,800,000.

That's $800,000 LESS than the price drop for Peter Munk's house at 24/26 Old Forest Hill Road...

That has floor plans to rival this house.

I'm thinking somewhere closer $12...maybe.

Wonder what they bought it for 10 years ago...
