The Details
A Hidden Gem Unveiled
An opportunity unfolds that conceals more than it reveals from your very first impression! Camouflaged behind the facade of this turn-of-the-century Christie Pits locale are two self-contained suites packed full of unbeatable charm & loveable personalities offered for sale for the first time in almost 30 years! Each warm & inviting suite has separate front & rear access, garage parking, laneway access, basement storage, separate laundry and bonus private outdoor spaces. BTW we’re talking separately metered, meticulously kept and currently vacant – the sky’s the limit! Nearby are Christie and Ossington TTC stations, excellent neighbourhood public schools and incredible park access, all a short walk away – think baseball games, basketball courts, public pool visits, festivals, tobogganing & outdoor skating! Envision an evening stroll with your pup with an ice cream cone in one hand while catching up on your daily step count! Add the amenities of Bloor street west, the Annex & Koreatown for great local shops, cocktails & dining for all that easy city living! A residential property open to various approaches leads to unwavering advantages! Throw in some imagination and a peppering of gusto, and you’ve got an asset with options: convert to single-family, rent out both suites, live in one apartment and rent out the other, renovate, add on or do none of the above. The choice is yours, my friends! Let’s get after it – 875 Shaw is ready to shine bright!
Your home should tell a story of who you are and be a collection of what you love.

Seaton Village is a charming and vibrant neighbourhood that offers an inviting blend of community spirit, convenience, and family-friendly amenities. Bordered by the Annex to the East and the tranquil Christie Pits Park to the West, Seaton Village provides residents the best of both worlds: city living topped with a safe and tight-knit community!
A cornerstone of Seaton Village, Christie Pits Park is a beloved green space that draws families, fitness enthusiasts, and nature lovers alike. The park’s sprawling lawns, baseball diamonds, and outdoor pool make it a year-round recreational activity hub. It’s a perfect spot in the summer for picnics and sunbathing (with a Baskin & Robbins directly across the street, BTW). At the same time, winter transforms it into a picturesque setting for amazing tobogganing and outdoor skating!
Seaton Village is a food lover’s paradise, boasting various dining options catering to every palate. The neighbourhood’s culinary landscape has quaint bistros, trendy eateries, and cozy cafes. From the authentic Italian fare at Vesta Lunch, the inventive Asian fusion dishes at Korea House or an institution like Insomia, the local restaurants offer foodies a journey around the globe (with more coming soon when Mirvish Village opens)! Coffee aficionados will find solace in charming cafes like Contra Café and Ezra’s Pound, where expertly brewed coffee and artisanal pastries create the perfect atmosphere for a morning ritual or a weekend afternoon retreat. And if you prefer to cook at home? Fiesta Farms, Farm Boy and PAT Central are all within walking distance!
One of Seaton Village’s standout features is its exceptional transit accessibility and walkability. The Christie and Bathurst subway stations serve the neighbourhood, making navigating the city and commuting across town or downtown a breeze! Multiple bus routes also traverse the area, providing convenient options for those who prefer surface style! For residents who enjoy walking or cycling, Seaton Village’s tree-lined streets and well-maintained bike lanes into Yorkville and beyond offer a bike or pedestrian-friendly environment that encourages exploration and active living.
Seaton Village is a haven for families, offering a safe and nurturing environment where children can be real kids! The neighbourhood is home to excellent schools, including Palmerston Avenue Junior Public School and Montrose Junior Public School, renowned for their strong academic programs and supportive communities. The abundance of parks, playgrounds, and recreational facilities ensures families have ample outdoor opportunities all year round! The neighbourhood’s active residents’ association also organizes events and initiatives that foster a sense of belonging and community engagement.
