371 Brock Avenue, Toronto

This large 2.5-storey semi in Brockton Village offers the kind of flexibility that's increasingly hard to find. It's currently arranged as two self-contained, two-level living spaces - the main floor and basement as one, and the second and third floors as the other. Live in one and rent the other, keep both as income-producing spaces, or turn it back into one big family home with at least four bedrooms plus an office, a games room, a squash court...okay, maybe not a squash court. And there are still more options. With another kitchen, 6'10" ceiling heights, and a separate entrance in the basement, it's a great candidate for a separate unit down there if that's what you're looking for. There's plenty of space to work with, too. Ceiling heights approach 9' on the main and second floors, and you've got those great basement ceiling heights we mentioned before. Out back, a large two-car garage sits off the rear laneway, with potential for a future laneway house. Then there's Brockton Village. Live on a residential street without giving up the urban lifestyle that makes this part of the city so appealing. Walk to Dundas West or College for coffee, restaurants and nightlife. McCormick Park and Dufferin Grove give you green space nearby, while gyms and recreation facilities offer plenty of ways to stay active. No Frills, Dufferin Mall and multiple TTC routes make the everyday stuff easy. The schools are a standout, too: Brock Public School earned a 7.6 in the latest Fraser Institute rankings, while Bloor Collegiate scored a 9.2, placing it among the province's highest-rated high schools.Live in part of it. Rent part of it. Turn it into one big family home. Explore what you could add out back. Life changes. This house can change with you.
