The Home as Canvas: A Heaps Estrin Success Story
At 384 Indian Grove, creativity wasn’t just in the art—it was woven into the architecture, craftsmanship, and soul of the home. Once owned by renowned Canadian artist Thrush Holmes, this luxury West End Toronto property served as both studio and sanctuary for over 16 years. Every detail reflected Holmes’s artistry—from custom light fixtures and a hand-built sauna to a marble vanity he personally repurposed—creating a bespoke Toronto home that seamlessly blended modern design with artistic innovation.
When it came time to sell, Heaps Estrin’s Cailey Heaps and Stephanie Newlands recognized that a property of this calibre required more than a traditional approach. Their story-driven marketing strategy highlighted the home’s unique character and built an emotional connection with buyers through a narrated video by Holmes and a gallery-inspired open house.
In just six days, the property sold for 100% of its asking price, outperforming Toronto’s competitive real estate market and proving that powerful storytelling drives exceptional results. This success reinforces Heaps Estrin Real Estate’s philosophy: powerful storytelling and thoughtful marketing can elevate every Toronto home from a listing to a legacy.
