5 Grange Ave

You can’t be closer to the heart of the city AND have a backyard too! Large 4 bedroom house in amazing downtown location! Just 180 feet from beautiful Grange Park and the Art Gallery of Ontario. Part of a pretty row of century-old homes. This house is sturdy as a truck - solid brick, featuring upgraded electrical and plumbing, restored details, multiple bay windows, huge rooms, south facing garden & 3rd floor deck with a dazzling south facing skyline view. 1,691 sq ft above ground. Originally 5 BR with 1 BR converted to large 4-piece bathroom with heated marble, a claw foot tub and separate shower. Another 2-piece is also on the second floor and between them they can more than adequately service a full household. There are 2 big bedrooms on the second floor and 2 more on the third floor, all with hardwood oak flooring. A large skylight at the top of the 3rd floor provides plenty of light that filters down. The unfinished basement has decent ceiling height and shows the good sized footprint of the house. There is also an extra 3-piece bathroom in the basement as well as a laundry area. The house has lovely curb appeal and the outside front of the house has slate paving and is enclosed with a metal fence and gate. This is truly a fantastic setting; Toronto's most central neighbourhood with heritage homes and mature trees. Quiet side street, off of Beverley. Short walk to Kensington Market, Queen St, Chinatown, Baldwin Village, U of T, OCAD, & hospitals. Fine and casual dining options abound and public transportation is easily accessible. Urbanites rejoice, spacious living and comfort and in walking distance of everything – even walk to work if its in Financial District! Opportunity to polish and customize. Equally attractive family home or investment/rental property. Why buy a condo at this price when this is bigger and has a garden?
