1880s Cabbagetown Home: Hidden In Plain Sight

Tucked away on a secluded 40 x 120-foot lot beneath a canopy of mature trees, the property feels worlds away from the city while remaining just minutes from downtown in the Cabbagetown neighbourhood. Owned by the same family for over a century and thoughtfully renovated in 2011, this unique home blends historic character with modern comfort. Inside, the 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout includes a dedicated office, soaring 10-foot ceilings on the main floor, original stained glass over the front door, and the original staircase that reflects the home’s history. Outside, green space surrounds the home, creating a sense of privacy rarely found in Toronto. A large deck extends the living space outdoors, while the detached coach house provides a flexible bonus area with a bedroom and bathroom, ideal as a guest suite, studio, office, green room, or quiet editing or production space. The property functions as several distinct locations in one. The location offers a 9.9/10 walkability score, is two minutes from TTC transit, and the long private drive accommodates up to four vehicles, a valuable feature in this area of the city. With its detached form, mature trees, coach house, on-site parking, multiple exterior angles, garage for storage, and a detached coach house, this is a setting unlike anything else in the city.
