When most people think about living in King West, they think condos, glass towers, shared elevators, maintenance fees every month. But you don't have to settle to get the same lifestyle. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac between King West and Queen West, this rare freehold detached red brick home perfectly blends convenience and location: same neighbourhood, same walkability to everything, none of the compromises. The single car garage for parking adds even more versatility. Inside are 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and nine-foot ceilings in the living room. The open-concept living and dining area features so much character, from hardwood floors, crown moulding, pot lights, and large windows. The kitchen offers stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features hardwood and crown moulding, the second bedroom offers lots of space for a hybrid set up, whether a bedroom or home office. A 5 piece bathroom completes the upper level. The fully finished lower level adds a family room, home office, or gym, with a 3-piece bathroom and dedicated laundry. Includes an attached single-car garage parking with a dedicated heat/AC unit, accessible by laneway access. Updates in 2026 include: roof, air conditioner, furnace, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1714/sqft, this property is priced above the Downtown Toronto 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 Downtown Toronto'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 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.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
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 $5,000 (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.
