28 Admiral Road 8, Toronto

Some homes fit into the city. Others become part of its story. Welcome to the Annex. Tucked behind an understated brick façade, this beautifully renovated townhouse unfolds across four thoughtfully designed levels and more than 1,800 sq ft of living space. With 3 bedrooms and 3 washrooms, the layout strikes that rare balance: generous enough to grow into, yet effortless to live in every day. The main floor was designed for gathering. A modern kitchen with generous island and built-in banquette anchors the open-concept living and dining areas, while sliding doors invite in fresh air and leafy views. Upstairs, the top level becomes a private retreat. The spacious primary suite features a beautifully renovated ensuite, while a dedicated skylit office offers a bright work-from-home space. Two additional bedrooms and a second renovated washroom provide flexibility for family or guests. Downstairs, a cinematic family room with fireplace, projector and blackout screen creates a true movie-night experience. Walk out to an exclusive patio with screened-in gazebo - a private outdoor retreat made for summer barbecues and evening cocktails. Only ten homes share this secure boutique enclave, known for its warm community. Underground parking and a large storage locker make daily life wonderfully uncomplicated. Set on a quiet one-way street - noticeably calmer than nearby Bedford or St. George - yet steps to the subway, U of T, parks, groceries, restaurants, galleries and Yorkville's boutiques. In short: city living, written exactly the way it should be.
