116 Brunswick Avenue, Toronto

At 2,400 sq ft - on 4 spacious levels - in Harbord Village, this circa 1888 Victorian just became the neighbourhood's most compelling price-per-square-foot story - $60K price reduction, original character intact. Fireplace, stained glass, transoms, sculpted millwork, exposed brick, and a secondary staircase you won't find in a reproduction. The bones are the kind builders don't make anymore, with tall ceilings, generous room sizes, and light pouring in from oversized windows. The main floor is a blank canvas with excellent proportions already in place, ready to be opened up, reworked, or respectfully restored, depending on your vision. A hidden alcove with its own window is just waiting for a use. Upstairs, six bedrooms across two levels offer a rare degree of flexibility: bedrooms, home office space, guest space, or a full reimagining. The basement's unusually high ceilings make it a genuine candidate for future living space, not just storage. Out back, a west-facing yard for long summer evenings, plus a garage and no shortage of storage. All of this is seconds from Harbord Village's shops and cafés, and a short walk to U of T, Kensington Market, Little Italy, hospitals, and transit. This is a house for someone who sees potential as an opportunity, not a project.
