Tucked along a quiet block just north of King Street, this home pairs original character with thoughtful upgrades throughout. Hardwood floors flow through the main level, complemented by high ceilings, an original plaster archway and a gas fireplace. The galley kitchen (2021) includes a gas stove and is induction-ready with a 240-volt hookup. The kitchen opens directly to a private patio and a landscaped garden. Upstairs features updated red oak hardwood floors and a fully renovated five-piece bathroom with heated floors, heated mirror, skylight and soundproofed walls. The finished lower level offers a separate entrance, bedroom, living space, a three-piece bath and rough-ins for a kitchen. Key upgrades include a copper water line (2021), a backwater valve (2021), a tankless water heater (2023) and soundproofing for the party wall and primary bedroom (2023) plus much more. Moments from King Street, the Distillery District, Corktown Common, the TTC and the Don Valley Parkway, this is a rare freehold home in one of downtown Toronto's most storied neighbourhoods. One parking included off the laneway.
