Garnet is a Gem! There's an ease to this detached home you feel right away. Light moves beautifully through the space, pulled in by the rare open space across the street and steady southern exposure. It gives the entire home a sense of openness that's hard to replicate, with a light, airy quality that brings a subtle coastal calm to everyday living. Inside, it's all been done. Stylish, modern, and thoughtfully renovated without losing it's soul. A gorgeous living room anchors the main floor with a fireplace, large picture window, and custom built-ins. The dining room offers a partially open space that maintains a level of formality, perfect for daily needs and comfortable entertaining. The modern, functional kitchen is designed for every routine, featuring an eat-in layout and loads of counter space that invites busy mornings, slow evenings and the weekend chef in you. The renovated bathrooms bring a clean, elevated finish that ties everything together. And then there's the lower level. 7'6" ceilings and a full, proper finish that opens the door to real flexibility. Income potential, guest suite, or a seamless extension of living space. Out back, the balance continues. A spacious, private backyard that actually gives you room to breathe, host, and unwind. The detached 1.5 garage off the laneway adds the practicality that makes daily life easier. This is the one you've been trying to find. And it rarely shows up.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1363/sqft, this property is priced above the Bloor West Village 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 49 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Bloor West Village. 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.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Bloor West Village 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 Bloor West Village. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Bloor West Village properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $6,246 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
