About This Property

This 1930s house is everything you've been looking for but didn't think you could find in Harbord Village: solid masonry construction, a private driveway leading to a basement garage and a large west-facing gardener's back yard. Original character abounds including oak flooring throughout most rooms. Generously proportioned living and dining rooms lead to a an updated kitchen overlooking the garden. The second floor incl three good-sized and bright bedrooms. The hallway has 2 linen closets as well as a south-facing window. The family bathroom has been tastefully renovated to suit the character of the house. The basement is unfinished with a large daylit laundry and storage area and an additional one-piece bathroom. The garden features an Empire apple tree, Corten steel planters and is wired for a hot tub (inclusion of the hot tub is negotiable). The garden shed is insulated, heated and HUGE. It could easily be reimagined as an office or studio. Currently there is an active building permit in place for a rear addition including a basement apartment that would bring the total living area of the property to over 2500 square feet (incl the bsmt). Notable features incl: a 20'x120' lot with no space lost to parking; a garage large enough for current owner's RAV4, 4 spare tires, and their 3 bikes behind; a new combi-boiler installed in 2022 providing radiant heat and tankless hot water; a large garden shed/workshop custom-fabricated by Summerwood with storage (approx 10'x10') and a workshop (approx 5'x10'). Powered by a 30A subpanel and pre-wired with Cat-7 cable; an Arctic Spas Timberwolf hot tub upgraded to Custom spec with SpaBoy saline water care system and wifi monitoring and control (negotiable). Upgrades include: roof repairs & extra vents (2018); gas combi boiler (2022); partial basement waterproofing & sump pump (2022); replacement of portions of drain in rear of basement & under garage (2023); Summerwood shed with electricity, insulation & panel heater (2022)
