90 WILLCOCKS STREET — Toronto (University), Ontario

There's a certain magic to Willcocks Street-a quiet, leafy stretch of heritage homes where neighbours actually know your name. At No. 90, that sense of place is immediate. Occupying a generous lot at the end of the row, this home offers the rare privacy and light of having only one shared wall. The gated garden leads to a proper front porch made for morning coffee and evening unwinds. Inside, the scale is striking: 10-foot ceilings and authentic Victorian soul. A warm living space anchored by a wood-burning fireplace flows past an updated kitchen and-the ultimate Annex luxury-a main-floor powder room. The rear of the main floor offers exceptional footprint potential to create a coveted, combined kitchen and family room. Beyond the landscaped garden sits the ultimate city unicorn: a detached two-car garage off the rear laneway. Upstairs, a central skylight keeps the home airy and bright. The front primary bedroom is particularly generous, while the rear bedroom offers an intimate escape-a private terrace tucked among the treetops. The lower level, with a separate entrance, full washroom, and laundry, is a masterclass in flexibility-perfect as a guest wing or an easy conversion to a self-contained suite. Steps from the manicured grounds of U of T and the best independent galleries, restaurants and bakeries along Harbord, yet tucked away in a quiet heritage pocket. Moments to the streetcar and subway, Little Italy, Hospitals and quality schools. It's a home that feels established, effortless, and entirely rare. (id:63357)
