Exceptional investment and income-generating opportunity in the heart of Corktown. Ideally situated with just a five-minute walk to both Queen Street East and King Street East. This property offers outstanding access to public transit, downtown Toronto, and a vibrant mix of restaurants, shops, and amenities.

The home features two spacious 1.5-storey units, each offering a 1+1 bedroom layout. The main floor unit boasts generous principal rooms with high ceilings, large windows, and an abundance of natural light. The second/third-floor unit mirrors this thoughtful layout and design, and is currently tenanted, providing immediate rental income.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1250/sqft, this property is priced above the Cabbagetown 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.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 100 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Cabbagetown. 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.
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 Cabbagetown.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 5 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: Cabbagetown properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $10,416 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
Let's See It Together
Photos only tell part of the story. During our showing, I'll point out things the camera doesn't capture: neighbourhood feel, natural light quality, traffic noise, and overall condition. I'll also share what comparable homes have sold for and help you craft a winning strategy if you decide to move forward.
