Property Description

This London-inspired brownstone occupies a prominent corner position on one of Cabbagetown’s most picturesque streets, yet stands apart from neighbouring residences in both scale and design. Custom built by the original developer for personal use, the home was conceived as a more expansive and elevated offering – one defined by larger proportions, exceptional flexibility and a distinctly refined sense of livability.

Spanning more than 2,600 square feet across four beautifully finished levels, the residence blends timeless architecture with modern function. A completely freehold property offering ample flexibility to further enclose or landscape the front garden.

The main level introduces a rare degree of flexibility, particularly well suited for those seeking a seamless live/work lifestyle. With direct street access, excellent visibility and separation from the home’s principal living spaces above, the ground floor functions beautifully as a private office, studio, consulting space or client-facing practice. Direct access from the built-in garage enhances everyday convenience, while additional street permit parking is available nearby. A discreet powder room and gracious foyer complete the level, opening naturally to the gated front garden.

Above, the principal living level is designed for both daily life and elegant entertaining. A beautifully appointed kitchen anchors the space with a generous island, integrated desk area and walkout to a private deck featuring a BBQ gas line. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room and expansive living room, where oversized windows and a gas fireplace create warmth, light and atmosphere. Detailed mouldings throughout lend a sense of depth and craftsmanship.

The next level offers two generously sized bedrooms with expansive walk-in closets, alongside a refined five-piece bath and a full laundry room thoughtfully positioned for convenience.

Occupying its own private floor, the primary suite feels quietly removed from the rest of the home. The space features a large walk-in closet, a luxurious five-piece ensuite and two separate walkouts that bring in exceptional natural light. An additional sun-filled room on this level offers flexibility as a lounge, home office, art studio or a home spa/wellness room.

Above it all, the rooftop terrace provides sweeping city views, open sky and a rare sense of privacy – an exceptional outdoor extension of the home.

Beyond the front door, Cabbagetown remains one of Toronto’s most character-rich neighbourhoods, defined by grand Victorian architecture, tree-lined streets, and a deeply established sense of community. Independent cafés, neighbourhood restaurants, local shops, and nearby green spaces create a lifestyle that feels both connected and distinctly residential- all just minutes from the city core.
