271 LISGAR STREET — Toronto (Little Portugal), Ontario

If you've been waiting for a real Victorian - the kind with the original details still intact and the bones to create something incredible - 271 Lisgar St is your moment. Loved by the same family for more than 50 years, this grand semi still has the character buyers search endlessly for: soaring ceilings, intricate crown mouldings, original woodwork and beautifully proportioned rooms that remind you how well these homes were built. Offering almost 1,700 square feet above grade, it's larger than most homes in the neighbourhood and sits on a lovely little curve of leafy, laid-back Lisgar just steps from Dundas West - close to Trinity Bellwoods, schools, and every great café, bar and restaurant that makes this pocket of the west end so loved.The main floor delivers the classic Victorian layout with generous principal rooms, tall windows and tons of natural light, plus an eat-in kitchen with the space to create the chef's kitchen you've been pinning on your mood board, with a walk-out to the back deck and yard. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms (one currently configured as a kitchen) and an updated main bath. The third floor is where the fun begins - an incredible primary retreat, creative studio space, separate work from home offices, extra bedrooms, or perhaps a future rooftop deck moment. The "mostly finished" basement adds flexibility with a separate entrance, another bathroom and laundry area.This isn't a polished flip - and that's exactly the point. It's the kind of authentic Victorian canvas that rarely comes along anymore, in a location that only gets better with time. Bring your vision, your contractor and your inspo board - because the payoff here could be spectacular! (id:63357)
