The Details
Thoughtfully Reimagined.
An exceptional, design-forward 3+1 bedroom residence in the heart of Toronto’s vibrant west end, this turnkey home offers a rare blend of style, function, and a 2-car garage: a true rarity for the area. Newly reimagined and renovated back to the studs, the thoughtfully designed layout truly delivers, with a stunning kitchen featuring premium appliances, banquette seating, and integrated in-ceiling speakers at the heart of the home. A bright, centrally positioned staircase creates a seamless flow between the main-floor living spaces, while wide white-oak plank floors, custom built-ins, and remote-controlled blinds elevate the experience throughout. Upstairs, generous bedrooms are complemented by a spacious primary en suite that offers everyday comfort and privacy. The finished lower level adds exceptional flexibility with an expansive rec room, an additional bedroom, and a Huum WiFi sauna: your own private wellness retreat. Every detail has been considered, from triple-point locking doors and premium recessed lighting to Caesarstone countertops and backsplashes, Baril fixtures, terrazzo tile entry, and custom HVAC vents. Outside, a beautifully curated urban backyard with tall European beech trees and a custom canopy creates a private escape in the city. Location is everything, and this home delivers: just steps to Dovercourt Park, Geary Avenue’s dynamic mix of restaurants, galleries, and breweries, and a short walk to Bloor Street and the subway. With the new Wallace Emerson Community Centre and the transformative Galleria development bringing even more amenities and retail nearby, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey home in one of Toronto’s most exciting pockets.
Your home should tell a story of who you are and be a collection of what you love.

Tucked into one of Toronto’s most character-rich pockets, the Dovercourt–Wallace Emerson–Junction area offers a rare balance of creative energy and neighbourhood warmth. Here you’ll find a community that feels both lived-in and evolving; where longtime residents, young families, and entrepreneurs shape a streetscape that’s as welcoming as it is dynamic.
Life here unfolds along a mix of vibrant local strips and quiet, tree-lined streets. Just a short walk away, Bloor Street West and Dupont Street are lined with an eclectic mix of cafés, bakeries, independent boutiques, and some of the city’s most talked-about restaurants. Whether it’s a relaxed morning coffee, an impromptu dinner with friends, or a weekend spent browsing local shops, the neighbourhood makes everyday living feel effortlessly engaging.
Connectivity is a major draw. With easy access to the Bloor subway line via nearby stations, commuting downtown or across the city is seamless. Cyclists will appreciate the growing network of bike lanes, while drivers benefit from convenient routes west toward the Junction or east into the downtown core.
Green space is woven into the neighbourhood’s rhythm. Local parks and schoolyards provide space for kids to play and neighbours to gather, while larger nearby destinations offer room to stretch out, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors without leaving the city.
The area also quietly excels when it comes to lifestyle amenities. From boutique fitness studios and yoga spaces to community gyms and wellness-focused businesses, there’s no shortage of options to stay active and balanced. The Junction, just to the west, adds another layer of appeal with its vibrant arts scene, breweries, and cultural events.
Families are drawn to the area for its strong sense of community and access to a range of well-regarded schools, making it a place where people don’t just move in, they put down roots.
It’s a neighbourhood defined by its character and momentum. Where historic homes meet thoughtful renovations, and where every block offers something new to discover. Authentic, connected, and full of personality, Dovercourt–Wallace Emerson–Junction is west-end living at its most compelling.
