216 Palmerston Avenue, Toronto

Tucked away yet in the heart of it all, this fully detached home knows how to stand apart, while keeping you plugged into the city's most exciting swirl of food, culture, and cool. The best restaurants, markets and parks all just a wander away. Inside, the living and dining rooms are made for gathering, leading to a kitchen and lounge area that open to your own backyard sanctuary, perfect for crisp autumn afternoons with lattes, books, or friends as the city hums around you. For your added convenience, the main floor also features a three piece bathroom. Upstairs brings two bedrooms plus a quirky bonus room off the primary bath: ultimate walk-in closet, Peloton cave, or your new creative HQ. The lower level? A private, self-contained suite: income helper, nanny quarters, or the coolest guest pad your friends will ever crash in. And the cherry on top: two-car parking off the laneway. Not needed in this walkable neighbourhood, but a huge plus when friends or family visit. Urban living, with a little wink.
