A Storybook Victorian, Plucked From Another Time. Once upon a quiet street, behind a curtain of perennial blooms, stands a home that time has been gentle with, and that's been gently loved in return.This enchanting 1880s Victorian, originally a church manse, is one of the rarest gems you'll find on the market today. Thoughtfully refurbished with every modern comfort, yet still humming with original period soul, every corner whispers craftsmanship: pressed tin ceilings and walls, leaded and stained glass windows that catch the afternoon light, gleaming hardwood floors, graceful French doors, and an unforgettable second-floor bath crowned by a tin claw-foot tub circa 1881. Step outside and the picturesque 25 x 163 ft lot unfolds like a fairytale. Front and back perennial gardens bloom in sequence through the seasons, while the deep, dreamy backyard feels like a secret world of its own. It's the kind of place where summer evenings linger and morning coffee turns into morning daydreams. Tucked at the back, a fully heated and insulated garage doubles as the ultimate studio, workshop, or creative escape. Add a finished basement suite with its own kitchen, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a home that has passed through only a precious handful of hands over the decades, and you have something genuinely uncommon: a residence with stories already woven into its walls, patiently waiting to add yours. A home this rare doesn't come along often. When it does, you don't just buy it. You become part of its story.

Joe's Thoughts

Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience

Premium Pricing

At $1364/sqft, this property is priced above the High Park average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.

Just Listed - Act Strategically

This property hit the market within the last week. In High Park's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.

Detached Home Advantages

Detached homes in High Park 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.

Family-Friendly Layout

4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to High Park. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.

Bathroom Count Matters

With 3 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: High Park properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $6,250 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
