This classic semi-detached sits in the heart of Dufferin Grove, where tree-lined streets, a beloved community park, and independent shops and cafes make everyday errands feel like part of the neighbourhood, not just a stop on the way home. The 2nd floor apartment (2 beds, 1 kitchen, 1 bath, and a separate entrance) is a built-in mortgage helper, letting you offset your monthly costs while you settle in on your own terms. Live on the main floor: bright living room, bedroom, kitchen, 2-piece bath, front porch and back veranda; all while your tenant helps carry the mortgage upstairs. The basement which is internally connected has its own separate entrance, kitchen and full bath, adds even more flexibility: space for extended family, a home office retreat, or future income potential. Two cold storage cantinas and a rare double-car garage round out the practical perks. From here, you can grab your morning coffee at a cozy cafe, spend weekends at Dufferin Mall, or check out the fun shops and restaurants on Bloor and College Streets, all within walking distance. Dufferin Grove Park is right in the neighbourhood, with green space and fun events for everyone, giving it a small-town feel in the middle of the city. Hop on the Bloor-Danforth subway at Dufferin Station for a quick, easy ride downtown.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $909/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.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 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.
