Roncesvalles, Toronto
Experience designer living in Roncesvalles in this impeccably renovated 2.5-story home at one of the neighbourhood's most coveted addresses. A rare opportunity to own two self-contained suites behind a classic Toronto façade-each with two floors, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, private laundry, and private outdoor space. This property blends sophisticated urban living with versatile lifestyle options, ideal for family, guests, or income potential. Live in one unit and rent the second, co-own with family or friends and share the cost of home ownership! If owning a duplex is not what you're looking for, subject to agreed terms, the owners are open to converting the home to a 3+2 bedroom single-family layout. The upper suite offers an exclusive private rooftop patio retreat with breathtaking views-perfect for gatherings-while the lower suite has direct access to a lush backyard oasis, ideal for relaxation or alfresco entertaining. Extensively renovated in 2020 with plans and permits (available upon request), every element reflects quality and craftsmanship: new plumbing, basement waterproofing, advanced HVAC with separate systems for each unit, electrical upgrades with dual panels, energy-efficient insulation (including sound attenuation between suites), premium windows, and updated smoke/CO detectors. Both kitchens feature quartz countertops and high-end appliances; all four bathrooms have been renovated. Located steps from Roncesvalles Village's shops, cafes, and parks, plus the popular weekly Sorauren Park Farmers' Market. This home offers culture, convenience, and prestige-ideal for buyers seeking luxury, versatility, and move-in-ready quality.
