Authentic. Unspoiled. Full of possibility. In the heart of Harbord Village, this circa 1888 Victorian row house presents a rare chance to reimagine a home of genuine scale. An original fireplace, sculpted millwork, stained glass, transom windows, a secondary staircase, and beautifully preserved brickwork define the era and anchor the home in its history. The main level offers compelling design potential. Open the plan to enhance flow and maximize space while highlighting the spacious principal rooms and distinctive living room and dining room windows. A hidden alcove with its own window invites endless creative possibilities within a future redesign. Upstairs, six bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility. Combine or reconfigure to create the living, and working spaces, all within authentic Victorian proportions beneath soaring ceilings. The unfinished basement features rare extra-high ceilings - a valuable advantage for those envisioning usable lower-level living space. A fenced backyard and sizable garage offer parking for one plus storage, a significant asset downtown. Steps to celebrated restaurants and cafés, top schools, U of T, subway and LRT access, hospitals, and cultural landmarks including Kensington Market, the AGO, and Little Italy. No offer date. Bring your vision, plan your renovation, and design your own modern Victorian chapter on Brunswick Avenue.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $1066/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Downtown Toronto market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 106 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Downtown Toronto. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
Townhouse Benefits
Townhouses offer an excellent balance of space and maintenance. You get more room than a condo with lower upkeep than a detached home. Key things to verify: whether it's freehold or condo-titled (affects fees and rules), and the condition of shared walls for noise considerations. Townhouses in Downtown Toronto have shown strong appreciation as families seek more space.
Excellent Flexibility
With 6 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Downtown Toronto.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Downtown Toronto properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $6,663 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
