Tucked onto one of downtown Toronto's most coveted residential streets, 142 Borden Street is a turnkey income property in the heart of Harbord Village - steps from Little Italy, Kensington Market, and the University of Toronto. This is the kind of address that rarely trades hands: a beautifully maintained triplex (legal duplex with a legal self-contained basement unit), sitting on an exceptionally deep 138-foot lot with a private, fully enclosed backyard and a rear detached garage off the laneway. Configured as three self-contained 3-bedroom units, this property is built for serious cash flow and flexibility. Each unit lives large, with generous bedrooms and full self-contained layouts ideal for families, professionals, or students. With strong rents across all 3 units, the property offers gross potential income of approximately $147,000 per year - a standout return for a freehold downtown asset. Whether you're an investor seeking a stabilized portfolio piece or an owner-occupier looking to live in one unit while the others carry the mortgage, the numbers here are hard to beat.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1595/sqft, this property is priced above the Downtown Toronto average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Downtown Toronto's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Excellent Flexibility
With 9 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Downtown Toronto.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 8 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
About University
I know University well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Downtown Toronto properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $13,292 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
