This beautifully renovated Queen Anne-style semi offers the space, flexibility, and outdoor living that's hard to find in a lease. Located just south of Bloor, the home features nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, 4+1 bedrooms, 2+1 bathrooms, a detached garage with parking for two vehicles, and multiple outdoor areas for relaxing, entertaining, and family time. The main floor is bright, welcoming, and designed for everyday living. A spacious living room with a large bay window flows into a modern kitchen with a large island, stainless steel appliances, abundant storage, and room for everyone to gather. At the back of the home, there's flexible space for a family room or dining area, with double doors opening to a large deck complete with a retractable awning. The fully fenced outdoor space includes a lower patio and easy access to the garage and laneway parking. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a stylish 4-piece bathroom and enjoy the convenience of a dedicated laundry room. The entire level is finished with warm hardwood floors and recessed lighting. The third floor offers a private retreat that works beautifully as a primary suite, featuring a 5-piece bathroom, a sitting room, and access to a large west-facing balcony that's perfect for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. A fully self-contained lower-level apartment with its own entrance, kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bathroom provides incredible flexibility for extended family, guests, a live-in nanny, or a private work-from-home setup. Just minutes from parks, schools, grocery stores, transit, and downtown access, this home combines the character of a historic 1891 residence with the comfort and convenience of modern living. The enclosed front yard adds privacy and separation from the street, making this a rare opportunity for families looking for extra space in a central Toronto neighbourhood.

How this lease stacks up against the local rental market
Estimated Monthly Budget
Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?

· When was the last rent increase, if there is a prior tenant?
Utility estimates are approximate and vary by season, habits, and what the landlord includes. Always confirm inclusions with the listing agent.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Above Market Rent
At $5,295/mo, this is asking above the typical 4-bedroom rent of ~$4,200/mo in Cabbagetown. That premium needs to be justified — newer finishes, included parking, a premium location, or utilities included. I'll help you assess whether it's worth it or whether there's room to negotiate.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Cabbagetown'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 Cabbagetown 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 Cabbagetown. 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.
Lease Terms to Negotiate
Don't just focus on the monthly rent — the lease terms matter just as much. I always advise my rental clients to clarify: what's included (parking, storage, utilities), the lease length options, the landlord's policy on renewals, and whether small personalizations like painting are permitted. These details can make or break your experience over 12–24 months.
