Freehold in Toronto

Some homes are renovated. Others are rediscovered. Welcome to 257 Booth Ave, a Victorian treasure thoughtfully transformed for modern living while preserving the soul of its history. Set directly across from Jimmie Simpson Park in one of the city's most beloved east-end neighbourhoods, this is a home where mornings begin with dog walkers and strollers beneath mature trees, afternoons spill into local cafés and bakeries, and evenings end in the quiet privacy of your own garden retreat. Inside, soaring ceilings and uncovered century-old exposed brick create warmth and character at every turn. Original details are carefully celebrated including a stunning stained-glass window above the front door depicting a bird flying over the home, a fitting symbol for a space filled with light and calm. The main floor offers an airy open-concept layout designed for both entertaining and everyday family life. Sunlight pours through the home from front to back, illuminating generous living and dining spaces before leading into a beautifully appointed kitchen and breakfast area overlooking the garden. Walk directly out to the private backyard oasis an incredibly rare urban retreat made even more exceptional by the detached garage. Upstairs, continues with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and three well appointed bedrooms. The lower level offers exceptional storage including an impressive wall of built-in cabinetry. Every detail balances beauty with function. A rare offering where charm, privacy, and community all come together in one extraordinary east-end home.
