Description & details

Extensive upgrades include updated electrical, plumbing, windows, owned furnace and water heater, central air conditioning and an ERV/HEPA system. A generous backyard completes this offering. Fantastic potential to create parking at the rear via Barbara Godard Lane (Buyer to verify size restrictions/permits.) 217 Major St. also qualifies for a laneway house with optional car garage. A home with history, substance and room to make it your own. Just steps to the neighbourhood cafés,restaurants, parks, transit and everything downtown Toronto has to offer.

The data only goes so far — condition, light and layout are worth seeing in person, with a home inspection, before you commit.
