South Annex, Toronto
A true Victorian in the heart of Harbord Village, circa 1888, and rich with original detail: stained glass, transoms, sculpted millwork, exposed brick, original fireplace, and rare secondary staircase. Loved and lived in until recently, with so much of yesteryear still beautifully intact. The seller recently moved out, and the treasures of this house are waiting to be discovered. This is the kind of house buyers wait for, ready to be reimagined, reinvented, and written into its next chapter for a new family. Grand principal rooms, tall ceilings, and proportions rarely found today. The main floor invites a thoughtful transformation, whether opened selectively or reworked for modern living into a spacious, modern open concept design with oversized east, west, and south-facing windows. Upstairs offers six bedrooms on 2 levels with remarkable flexibility for family life, workspaces, guests, or a complete redesign. Lower level with unusually strong ceiling height and genuine future potential. West-facing backyard for sunsets and sunshine, garage parking, and exceptional storage. Steps to the loved playground 20 meters away, and 30 metres to beloved Harbord Village shops. Live in one of Toronto's most enduring neighbourhoods, steps to U of T, Kensington Market, Little Italy, hospitals, transit, and the city's best streetscapes. Offers welcome anytime.
