Tucked quietly away from the bustle of downtown, 24 Treford Place is a rare west-end offering - a landmark urban villa in the heart of Trinity Bellwoods and Little Italy. Offered as a luxury short-term furnished lease, this detached residence pairs an authentic industrial studio with a serene, California-inspired home, creating a one-of-a-kind live/work retreat.The industrial volume is dramatic and light-filled, with soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors, and oversized windows framing the garden beyond. A generous open-concept layout allows for effortless living and entertaining - a chef's kitchen overlooking a dining area for twelve, and a living space anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Above, a lofted office offers an inspiring place to work or create. Beyond - either connected seamlessly through the studio or accessed independently from the garden - the home unfolds as a calm, light-washed sanctuary. Wall-to-wall windows open to a beautifully enclosed garden complete with mature landscaping and a wood-burning sauna. Inside, multiple living areas and the thoughtful separation of space provide flexibility for family life or hosting guests. Private three-car parking with EV charger included. Zoned HVAC and radiant in-floor heating ensure year-round comfort. Steps to College Street, Ossington, Kensington Market, and Trinity Bellwoods Park, yet remarkably peaceful and private, this is a singular opportunity to experience refined west-end living in a truly distinctive and refined architectural setting.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Above Market Rent
At $16,000/mo, this is asking above the typical 3-bedroom rent of ~$3,500/mo in Downtown Toronto. That premium needs to be justified — newer finishes, included parking, a premium location, or utilities included. I'll help you assess whether it's worth it or whether there's room to negotiate.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 126 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Downtown Toronto. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Downtown Toronto are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Larger Home Realities
At 5,000 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 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.
