Good morning Toronto! Walk out the front door and into the heart of the lively, bustling city in this charming and cool Kensington Market stunner. This 4 + 1 bedroom, 2 bathroom Victorian semi is just steps away from the best of Chinatown and eclectic Kensington. Featuring a backyard garden oasis and a leafy front yard porch, this property is tucked away from the sounds of Spadina Avenue. Newly updated, this turn-key home features a beautiful modern kitchen, open layout and classic touches like stained glass windows, high ceilings, exposed brick and unique wall niches.

Do you have children planning to attend U of T or OCAD and don’t want the hassle of finding decent, clean rentals close by? Make your money work for you with this home as an investment option vs. renting multiple units across the city. Bring in additional income through the basement apartment, or by renting out some of the 4+1 bedrooms in the main home. Perfect proximity for varsity athletes with early morning and late practices.

Alternatively, If you’re looking for a quintessential Toronto spot to call home, this is the place! Imagine picking up fresh fruit, veggies, cheese, bread and more from local vendors just across the street, listening to live music on the sidewalk or at a cozy jazz bar, and meeting up with friends for food from all over the world from a nearby restaurant, all in view of the CN Tower.

Create both a great family space and room for hosting future guests across the four bedrooms and 3-piece bathroom upstairs; the office, studio or baby’s room on the top floor, and the 2-piece powder room on the main floor. Need more space? Utilize the separate-entry finished basement apartment with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, or rent it out for additional income.

Surrounded by great amenities, indie shops, vintage boutiques and art spaces, you really are in the heart of this exciting city. Head to Jimmy’s Coffee and then enjoy your morning cup in your private backyard or watch the happenings on the street from your front porch.
