You really can have it all. This exceptional circa-1888 Victorian seamlessly blends timeless character with refined modern luxury. This home delivers both grandeur and everyday comfort in equal measure. From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by soaring 10-foot ceilings and a dramatic exposed brick feature wall that rises two full storeys-an unforgettable architectural statement. Yet, despite its prime Queen West location, the home is remarkably quiet - your own private sanctuary, tucked just beyond the energy of the city. At the rear, a thoughtfully designed extension reveals a contemporary stone kitchen outfitted with full-sized s/s appliances, a gas range, wine fridge, pantry, and water softener. Anchored by an oversized centre island, it's a natural hub for entertaining. Rare for the area, the main floor also features a powder room, and a spacious family room with a direct walkout to your private backyard retreat. Designed for effortless enjoyment, the outdoor space is a true urban oasis, complete with low-maintenance turf & concrete pavers, mature trees for privacy, and a spa-inspired setup featuring a sauna and cold plunge. Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat unto itself, offering a generous walk-in closet, a luxurious five-piece ensuite, and a private terrace with iconic CN Tower views. And beyond the home, the lifestyle is unmatched-just steps to Trinity Bellwoods Park, Ossington, Queen West, and Dundas West. Enjoy top restaurants, cafés, boutiques, fitness studios, transit, and everyday essentials all within a short stroll. This is downtown living at its finest-where historic charm meets modern sophistication.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $920/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.
Market Position
At 22 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Downtown Toronto are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 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.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
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 $9,579 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
