Description & details

Classic Cabbagetown Bay & Gable on a rare wide lot, just steps to Riverdale Farm! This 2 bedroom, 2 bath Victorian blends original character with sophisticated modern design. A new custom double-door entry preserves the original arch and corbels and opens to an extra-wide foyer with custom arched moulding and the restored staircase, now finished with new oak treads. Hardwood runs throughout the home. The 2025 chef's kitchen has heated tile floors, walnut cabinetry, stone countertops, a gas range, a high-end hood and a dedicated coffee bar. From the breakfast area, walk out to a deck with a gas BBQ hookup and down to a private stone patio, perfect for dining al fresco. Upstairs, the 2024 renovation turned one bathroom into two spa-inspired baths, each with heated floors, wall-hung toilets and integrated stone vanities. The primary suite has custom built-in closets with LED lighting and an ensuite with a curbless walk-in shower and freestanding soaker tub, while the second bath offers a spacious walk-in shower. All this close to TTC and the shops, restaurants and cafes of Parliament St. Don't miss your chance to own a move-in ready home in historic Cabbagetown!

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