Ever dreamed of living in a New York-style brownstone without giving up Toronto convenience? Welcome to your fully renovated loft-inspired townhome in the heart of the Garden District. This one feels straight out of a movie scene. Soaring vaulted ceilings, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, and four levels of beautifully designed living space that somehow manage to feel both grand and cozy at the same time. Renovated from top to bottom, this rare offering features 2 spacious bedrooms, a dedicated den with a built-in desk for your work-from-home setup, a lower-level family room, plus a home gym area with walkout access to your private backyard retreat. Need outdoor space? You've got all of it. Private deck, backyard, and your own rooftop terrace perfect for morning coffee, summer BBQs, or pretending you're the main character in a Netflix series. The entire top floor is dedicated to the primary suite, complete with a 5-piece ensuite and a spiral staircase leading directly to your rooftop terrace. Because obviously your bedroom should come with its own private escape. Best of all, this townhome comes fully furnished, allowing you to move in with ease. To make life even more convenient, bi-monthly professional cleaning services are included, ensuring the home remains spotless. Located in Toronto's vibrant Garden District, you're steps away from some of the city's best cafes, restaurants, cocktail bars, parks, TTC access, TMU, St. Lawrence Market, Eaton Centre, and everything downtown living should be. Comes with parking, though you may find yourself walking everywhere anyway. This is not your typical rental. This is the one your friends will talk about. As per the Landlord's direction, the listing brokerage will not permit property showings unless the Tenant is represented by a realtor. If the Listing Agent is asked to show the property directly, full income and credit score documentation must be provided and verified before any visit is arranged.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Above Market Rent
At $7,100/mo, this is asking above the typical 3-bedroom rent of ~$3,500/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.
Market Position
At 17 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Townhouse Benefits
Townhouses offer an excellent balance of space and maintenance. You get more room than a condo with lower upkeep than a detached home. Key things to verify: whether it's freehold or condo-titled (affects fees and rules), and the condition of shared walls for noise considerations. Townhouses in Cabbagetown have shown strong appreciation as families seek more space.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
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.
