About this home
An exceptional and rare opportunity substantial, fully legal 5-plex that seamlessly balances turn-of-the-century craftsmanship with extensive modern infrastructure updates. Ideally suited for multi-generational families, savvy investors, or primary homeowners seeking mortgage-offsetting rental income, this property offers unparalleled flexibility. The rich interior showcases preserved period details, starting in the foyer with a custom deacon's bench and an impressive bevelled glass wall and door system. The main floor features two sets of solid oak pocket doors, a grand bay window, decorative oak cross beams with a fully rewired original light fixture, a classic marble and ornamental oak fireplace, and the original tall oak swing door leading to the kitchen. Upward, the stairwell landing is anchored by a breathtaking grand stained-glass bay window with a built-in oak bench, leading to a second floor complemented by an electric brass neoclassical fireplace. Beyond its magnificent architectural charm, the property has undergone rigorous capital improvements to ensure long-term efficiency and peace of mind. Critical mechanical enhancements include a brand-new boiler/furnace system (2024), complete professional basement asbestos abatement (2026), vinyl replacement windows (c. 2013), and an updated roof (c. 2009). The comprehensive 2013 electrical overhaul features six separate meters-allowing individual utility billing across the five distinct residential units alongside a dedicated common-area meter. Additional property updates include a modernized second-floor shower (2023), a replacement laundry dryer (2025), and on-site security camera hardware (2024, included as-is). Properties offering this caliber of preserved heritage, fully verified legal status, and extensive structural updating rarely come to market.
