About this home
Welcome to a stately 1911 High Park residence set on an exceptional 50 x 175 ft lot. This rare, estate-sized property offers a private backyard oasis, extraordinary depth, and parking for up to 12 vehicles via a wide paved driveway - a near-impossible find in the city. A grand early-century character home nestled in a park-like setting with mature trees and serene views, this is one of High Park's most compelling offerings. With its generous footprint, stately façade, and classic 1911 architectural details, the upside is exceptional. The basement was updated approximately 40 years ago, featuring higher ceilings, larger windows, and three separate entrances, offering strong potential for additional units or flexible use. The roof was replaced approximately 5 years ago at a cost of $54,000. Ideal for builders, developers, investors, or end-users seeking multi-generational living or significant rental upside in a neighbourhood where demand consistently exceeds supply. Prime Parkside location with direct access to High Park's trails, gardens, sports facilities, and the lakefront. Steps to TTC, minutes to Roncesvalles Village, and close to top-rated schools. Being sold as-is, where-is.
