About this home
Attention investors, renovators, contractors and builders. This red brick Victorian sits in the sought-after University neighbourhood, just half a block from Bloor, and is ready for its next chapter. With approximately 2,500 sq ft over four levels, this home is ready to be rebuilt around your vision. Picture generous principal rooms and an open, light-filled layout designed around the way you live. Rebuild it as a family home that honours its Victorian heritage, add income units, create a distinctive live/work space, or explore the potential for a laneway house. For an experienced buyer, the upside here is significant. Everyday living is right outside the door: the cafes, restaurants and grocers of Bloor and College, with Spadina Station (Lines 1 and 2) about 3 minutes on foot. Laneway parking for possibly two cars is a rare bonus this close to Bloor. Top-rated schools, the University of Toronto, the downtown hospitals and the core are all close by.

Buyers are encouraged to do their own due diligence regarding condition, permits, future use, redevelopment potential, laneway house eligibility, taxes and construction costs.
