A five-unit Annex Semi Detached property with the kind of envelope and location that is not being built at today's replacement cost. Legal four-plex above grade plus a legal non-conforming lower suite across 5,225+ sq.ft. on Walmer Road, one of the most tenured income streets in central Toronto. In-place rents sit well below current Annex benchmarks. Income reflects long-tenured tenancies rather than today's market. The unit mix is differentiated - not five interchangeable bachelors. Unit 2 on the main floor is a 1,396 sq.ft. parlour-floor residence with a 21-foot living room, fireplace, oversized kitchen, and a 17-foot principal bedroom. Unit 5 on the third floor (1,171 sq.ft.) is configured with two kitchens, two four-piece baths, two primary bedrooms, an office, and a dining room - lives as one generous suite today. Unit 4 (758 sq.ft.) has a four-piece ensuite, walk-in closet, and living space. Unit 3 (710 sq.ft.) is a full one-bedroom with fireplace, kitchen, and dining. Unit 1 in the lower level (1,191 sq.ft., legal non-conforming) reads as a proper apartment: one-bedroom plus 15-foot den, full kitchen, three-piece bath, and private utility room. Three distinct buyer paths converge here. For the investor, five legal income streams on a single folio, a demand floor set by U of T, downtown professionals, and the Dupont / Spadina subway corridor. For the owner-investor - Multiple units are suitable and are amongst the most substantial owner's suites found inside a purpose-built Annex income property; live in it and let the other four units carry the debt while optionality is preserved. For the long-view buyer planning a single-family reversion - 5,225+ sq. ft. of interior envelope is a credible footprint for a top-of-market Annex restoration, and the existing plumbing stacks, kitchens, and floor plates make either path possible without starting from zero. Walking distance to Bloor Street, Casa Loma, the University of Toronto, and the Spadina subway line.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $664/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 51 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Yorkville. 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.
Larger Home Realities
At 3,500 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Excellent Flexibility
With 8 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 Yorkville.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 6 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: Yorkville properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $9,687 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
