What this listing tells us
Coveted red brick Victorian circa 1883 on beautiful tree-lined Melbourne Avenue. A true three-storey Old Toronto home with grand proportions, soaring ceilings, and preserved architectural character throughout - thoughtfully updated with modern mechanics and electrical. Approximately 2,300 square feet above grade, with ten-foot ceilings on the main floor, nine-foot ceilings on the second and an airy third level, with natural light brought into the entire home from a central skylit light well. Stately living and dining rooms seem made for special occasions and entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling bookcases and an elegant fireplace frame the living room, with French doors leading to the formal dining room. Period stained glass transoms remain above the front windows and entryway. The family-sized kitchen features a centre island with bar seating, stone countertops, generous pantry storage, and French door walkout. Newly landscaped rear patio offers an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, plus access to the hidden garden courtyard at Melbourne Place. Double doors lead to a wonderfully private primary suite with king-sized bedroom, his-and-hers closets including a walk-in, and newly renovated five-piece ensuite bath. Large second bedroom with Juliette balcony. Flexible third floor with casual living space, rooftop deck with city views, large bedroom, and updated full bath - ideal for family hangouts, work-from-home, or overnight guests. Notable features include hardwood flooring throughout, exceptional storage and closet space across all three levels, full unfinished basement with excellent ceiling height, brand new furnace (2026), updated electrical, and fresh paint throughout. Incredible walkable location that feels connected to the city - steps to excellent local schools, shops and restaurants along Queen West, Liberty Village, and the blossoming King & Dufferin neighbourhood. Just five minutes to the Lake Shore and Gardiner Expressway. A must see!
