Timeless Victorian in Corktown

Set along a charming, curved street reminiscent of Northern English neighbourhoods, this 1880-built Victorian home offers timeless character with modern upgrades. Behind the vibrant raspberry-red front door lies an inviting open-concept main floor, where 10-foot ceilings and abundant natural light create a spacious, welcoming atmosphere.

The living room, brightened by a large window overlooking Bright Street, flows seamlessly into a generous dining area with an oversized, frosted west-facing window that offers both privacy and brightness. Recently refinished hardwood floors add a touch of sophistication to the space. Adjacent, the fully renovated kitchen features ample storage, panelled appliances, and quartz countertops. A custom window counter beneath a large south-facing window is perfect for enjoying the natural light while cooking or dining.

Beyond the kitchen, a glass-panelled door opens to an interlocked backyard, ideal for entertaining. The yard is lined with multiple plant beds along the perimeter, offering both privacy and a natural ambiance, with plenty of space for gardening. While the lot extends to the laneway, there is no right-of-way access for parking in the rear.

Upstairs, the king-sized primary bedroom boasts built-in closets along the south wall and two glass-panelled doors that lead to Juliette balconies overlooking the front garden. The newly renovated bathroom offers a large walk-in shower, custom vanity, and an oversized frosted window, filling the room with morning light. The second bedroom, currently used as a den, features a closet, built-ins, and a large west-facing window.

The lower level, with ample ceiling height, provides a versatile open-concept space currently used as a workout area. Built-in shelving and a crawl space under the kitchen offer abundant storage, while the laundry area is conveniently located on this floor.

Located on a quiet street but close to the vibrant heart of the city, this home combines Victorian charm with contemporary comforts, making it a rare find in one of Toronto’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
