Description

Our fully furnished home on a long lot (18.29 x 135.58) is ideal for an academic couple or small family looking for a peaceful, well-connected base in Toronto. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street near Christie and Davenport, the semi-detached home combines heritage charm with practical upgrades and flexible living space across three finished levels. The main floor features a bright, open-concept living and dining area, a cheerful kitchen with modern appliances and granite countertops, and walkout access to a sunny west-facing back deck. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The basement is fully finished with a second recently renovated full bathroom, laundry area, and a large recreation space. While there are no enclosed offices, there’s a work desk on the main floor and a pop-out desk for meetings or remote work in the primary bedroom. Outside, enjoy a coffee on the front porch for morning coffee, or relax or entertain in a long, private backyard with a patio, flower and vegetable garden and grassy area where kids can play. The home is a short walking distance to three parks (including 2 parks at either end of the short one-block street), Saturday farmers market at Wychwood Barns, library, coffee shops, schools, grocery stores, restaurants, and art galleries. The location has numerous public transit options- several bus lines that easily connect to the North-South and east-west subway lines. Within a short amount of time on a walk you can reach several bustling neighbourhoods: St. Clair West (15 min), Geary Street (15 min) or Koreatown on Bloor Street (20 min). By transit, the home is 20 minutes from the University of Toronto, 35 minutes from Toronto Metropolitan University, and 50 minutes from York University.
