About this home

Tasteful Victorian elegance in the heart of Parkdale! Set on an impressive 25.8 x 163 ft lot, this beautifully restored and renovated detached home built in 1888 is filled with charm, character and generous living space. Its enchanting front porch, reclaimed from a century farmhouse, opens to a welcoming foyer and gracious principal rooms showcasing soaring ceilings, original wood mouldings, high baseboards, crown and cornice detailing, ceiling medallions and French doors with bevelled and leaded glass. The inviting living room centres around a rebuilt wood-burning fireplace with a cast-iron firebox, surrounded by Victorian ceramic tiles and a handsome pine mantel. A formal dining room, renovated powder room and updated kitchen with abundant cabinetry complete the main level. From the kitchen, walk out to a unique, covered reproduction of a 19th-century railway porch, overlooking a stone patio and beautifully landscaped backyard, an inviting setting for outdoor entertaining. A beautiful quarter-cut oak staircase leads to the 2nd floor, a spacious primary bedroom with excellent closet space, a second bedroom, a separate office/den, and five-piece family bathroom with convenient ensuite laundry. The vaulted third-floor loft features a charming antique wood stove and a walkout, with exciting potential for a rooftop terrace offering CN Tower views. The finished lower level has a separate entrance and self-contained suite, ideal for extended family, a nanny or potential supplemental income. At the end of the mutual drive, you'll find a detached double garage, with two additional parking spaces, and exciting potential for a future garden suite. An exceptional Parkdale location, just minutes from the energy of Queen West and close to High Park, Sunnyside Beach and the Martin Goodman Trail, with convenient access to transit and an outstanding selection of neighbourhood shops, cafés and restaurants.
