A true Victorian in the heart of Harbord Village, circa 1888, and rich with original detail: stained glass, transoms, sculpted millwork, exposed brick, original fireplace, and rare secondary staircase. Loved and lived in until recently, with so much of yesteryear still beautifully intact. The seller recently moved out, and the treasures of this house are waiting to be discovered. This is the kind of house buyers wait for, ready to be reimagined, reinvented, and written into its next chapter for a new family. Grand principal rooms, tall ceilings, and proportions rarely found today. The main floor invites a thoughtful transformation, whether opened selectively or reworked for modern living into a spacious, modern open concept design with oversized east, west, and south-facing windows. Upstairs offers six bedrooms on 2 levels with remarkable flexibility for family life, workspaces, guests, or a complete redesign. Lower level with unusually strong ceiling height and genuine future potential. West-facing backyard for sunsets and sunshine, garage parking, and exceptional storage. Steps to the loved playground 20 meters away, and 30 metres to beloved Harbord Village shops. Live in one of Toronto's most enduring neighbourhoods, steps to U of T, Kensington Market, Little Italy, hospitals, transit, and the city's best streetscapes. Offers welcome anytime.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $965/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 54 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 $6,033 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
