575 St Clarens Avenue, Toronto W02, ON

Description

Step inside 575 St. Clarens and prepare yourself... not just for a home, but for an adventure. Built in 1910 - the same year Halley's Comet lit up the sky, Thomas Edison introduced talking motion pictures, and the Montreal Canadiens were founded - this detached 2-storey classic has stories to tell and secrets still hidden behind its walls. And when those walls eventually come down? Who knows what treasures you might uncover... perhaps even a Topps 1952 Mickey Mantle rookie card. One can dream. What is certain: this is a renovator's dream opportunity, the kind of home where vision becomes magic.A formal front hall entry opens to combined living and dining rooms with hardwood flooring and warm light that hints at the character beneath. The gigantic family-sized kitchen offers a pass-through to the dining area, yard access, and stairs to the basement - practical today, overflowing with possibility tomorrow. Five bedrooms in total, including a spacious primary overlooking the front, plus two loft bedrooms perfect for late-night storytelling or creative hideaways. Hardwood flows throughout the home, and an adorable rear sun/sewing room with a real brick accent wall adds a pocket of charm.The partially finished basement offers a rec room, kitchenette, storage, and a walk-up to the yard. Outside, enjoy a covered rear area for storage, a veggie garden wrapped in lush greenery, and a newer cinderblock-and-brick 2-car detached garage with laneway access.Moments to excellent schools-including the new state-of-the-art Bloor C.I. open in September 2025, plus Dufferin Grove Park, cafés, festivals, and the beloved farmers' market. Fantastic walk score, easy transit, and quick highway access.575 St. Clarens isn't just a house, it's a century-old invitation to imagine, explore, and create something extraordinary.
