The Details

A Double Header

We dare you to check out the engine under this hood! A remarkable legal two-unit dwelling earmarked by a library list of upgrades too long to list. A dreamy double-header draped in history stacked by a scrupulous “back-to-the-studs” transformation! We’re talking about an awe-inspiring, meticulous & thoughtfully planned renovation that defines what a turn-key property is truly all about! Behind (and inside) the walls of this century home live two legal, vacant and pristine, self-contained apartments (each bestowed with separate entrances, laundry, utilities, storage & outdoor spaces). This bright and cheerful Corso Italia home features snug alcoves, spacious room sizes & a generous serving of old-school common sense – the perfect blend of “pretty” meets “practicality”! Reflecting a welcoming aesthetic, this long-term investment features clean ivory walls, restored exposed brick walls, wide planking flooring, contemporary kitchens & baths and flawless features & finishes. Indeed, a rare breed in a complex time that offers up more than just a home – this is a solution, my friends.

An excellent opportunity to finally land on your feet as an investor, an end user or just those nice son or daughter-in-law types! A mecca for young professionals, families, and newbie homeowners, every corner of this lively neighbourhood offers ‘things to do’ topped with tree-lined streets, a safe community and easy breezy convenience!

Your home should tell a story of who you are and be a collection of what you love.

Corso Italia, a vibrant and culturally rich neighbourhood in Toronto, is renowned for its traditional old-world charm while simultaneously inviting urban development and infrastructure. Tucked along St. Clair Avenue West, this area exudes a distinctly European vibe, thanks to its Italian roots, while embracing new businesses, growth and gentrification.

Of course, the culinary scene in Corso Italia is a food lover’s delight, characterized not only by authentic Italian restaurants, cozy cafes, and traditional bakeries but also by various cuisines. Restaurants here serve a diverse range of delectable dishes, with Italian eateries Pizza e Pazzi, Definas and La Paloma Gelateria offering some of the best gelatos outside of Italy. The neighbourhood cafes, bustling with activity, serve as perfect spots for lively conversations and quiet contemplation over a cup of espresso. Just outside your door on Rosemount is Strawbella serving up brick oven-baked pizzas, sandwiches and one of the best coffees in town. Moreover, the bakeries are a testament to the area’s heritage, where freshly baked bread and pastries fill the air with irresistible delights! And suppose you’re in the mood for an adventure out. In that case, Geary Avenue is around 5 minutes around the corner, a thriving post-industrial ‘warehouse district’ featuring artisanal businesses & restaurants, breweries, and studios. And for commercial shopping & amenities, The Stockyards is an easy two kilometres to the West!

A sprawling 12.6-hectare Earlscourt Park at Caledonia Road and St. Clair Avenue West offers many amenities and expansive greenspace! This well-equipped park features a lit artificial turf soccer field, a multipurpose sports field and track, a baseball diamond, four tennis courts, a basketball court, and a volleyball court. Additionally, it includes a children’s playground, a wading pool, numerous walking paths, and a fenced area for dogs to play off-leash!

Over the past few years, the incredible gentrification in Corso Italia has infused the neighbourhood with new energy and investment, attracting diverse residents and businesses. This transformation has brought about a delicate balance between preserving the area’s historic character and accommodating young professional families. The influx of new boutiques, art galleries, and startups alongside traditional businesses showcases this blend of the old meet new, making Corso Italia a standout Toronto neighbourhood for real estate, rental and investment.

Public transport accessibility is another highlight of Corso Italia. St. Clair Avenue’s dedicated streetcar line ensures connectivity to downtown Toronto and surrounding areas. This reliable and efficient transit option makes the neighbourhood attractive for commuters and contributes to its growing popularity. Top this with Eglinton’s new LRT at Dufferin, the UP Express stop on Bloor or Weston and Black Creek Drive, and you’ll be in and out of the city faster than expected!
