Welcome to 28 Mechanic Ave, a beautifully renovated, turnkey home in an established West Toronto neighbourhood offering an exceptional combination of location, condition and future flexibility. Meticulously maintained and in mint condition, this home is truly move-in ready. The current owners thoughtfully modified the main floor to accommodate single-level living, converting the former kitchen area into a bedroom. Importantly, the original kitchen rough-ins remain behind the walls, providing the next owner with the flexibility to easily re-establish a main-floor kitchen and enjoy the entire home as one residence. For buyers looking for additional income potential or multigenerational living, the home's layout also presents an exciting concept for conversion to a legal duplex, subject to municipal approvals and applicable building-code requirements. The lower level offers a separate exterior entrance, kitchen, bathroom, laundry and generous living space, while the main and second floors provide additional living space with the flexibility to suit a variety of needs. Location is another standout Shirley Street Junior Public School & McCormick Arena are just a 2-3 minute walk. The surrounding west-end neighbourhood offers convenient access to the Dundas Street West corridor, TTC streetcar service, Lansdowne and Dundas West subway stations, Bloor GO/UP Express, as well as nearby shops, restaurants, groceries and every day amenities. Whether you're looking for a turnkey family home, multigenerational living, or a property with future income potential, 28 Mechanic Ave offers a rare level of flexibility in a convenient, established Toronto neighbourhood.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $1090/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Downtown Toronto market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
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.
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.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Downtown Toronto. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
About Little Portugal
I know Little Portugal 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 $4,996 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
