Sweet Slice of Park Paradise!

A beauty in every way including brand new flooring throughout (white oak on main and second, cork in the basement), as well as built-ins and timeless practicality around every corner (see: hidden powder room on main floor, basement mudroom and second floor laundry!). Finished basement was once an apartment and could be again if you’re not into fab finished rec rooms and guest suites. Park in the detached garage and enjoy life in the heart of convenience. You’re a 5 minute walk to the subway, close to fabulous restaurants in Little Italy, Ossington, Harbord and Bloor as well as groceries, pharmacies and the best of downtown! Come and get it.

Things to Love in Our Sellers’ Words

One of the prettiest parks in Toronto is literally in this home’s backyard. You can walk through the garage and into Bickford Park.
Bickford Park offers an ideal ~1km walking path, breathtaking willow trees, lots of open green space, a baseball diamond and a friendly dog park.
Christie Pits is also minutes away and the children’s park at Art Eggleton is steps away across the street.
The higher elevation of the house and garage provide ample privacy from those nearby attractions.
Get all the downtown perks while still enjoying a great neighbourhood vibe. You’re walking distance to the best restaurants, bars, and coffee shops in Toronto while still being a part of an adorable close knit community.
There’s a strong sense of community on the street with an active message board for those living on Montrose and an annual street fair.
Enjoy friendly faces and hellos from the front porch while basking in the sun on warm afternoons.
The subway is less than a five minute walk through Bickford Park and proximity to Harbord Street allows for you to be at a bus stop in under a minute.
There are incredible blooms from spring to fall. In April, at the front of the house, a gorgeous serviceberry tree boasts stunning white flowers. May brings beautiful pink flowers on the lilac and redbud trees in the backyard. Roses line the north side of the back fence from June to September.
From the back of the house, enjoy green, tree filled views all summer long and gorgeous Toronto skyline views in the winter.
Garage located on a quiet and accessible laneway conveniently located off Harbord Street and overlooking Bickford Park.
The second floor laundry next to the large linen closet provides ease and convenience.
The morning light provides a peaceful way to start the day and enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast.
When guests come to visit, there is ample street parking with the majority of houses on the street possessing their own laneway parking – a rare find downtown!
