Cross Streets: Avenue Road and Cottingham Street. ** Directions: West on Cottingham from Avenue. Tucked into the Republic of Rathnelly, one of Toronto's most unique and tightly held neighbourhoods, this striking Gable-Front Victorian offers a rare combination of scale, character, and location. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street where neighbours know each other and homes rarely come to market, this is the kind of address buyers wait years for. Inside, soaring ceilings on every level create a sense of volume rarely found, with a main floor that blends elegance and function through a formal living room with wood burning fireplace, a dining room with gas fireplace, and a kitchen that anchors daily life and entertaining. The second floor offers two bedrooms plus a flexible den easily converted back to a fifth, along with laundry and a primary suite with California Closets built-ins. The third floor adds two more bedrooms, including one with an integrated study area, and a walkout terrace above the city. A largely unspoiled lower level with wine cellar and side walkout offers exceptional future potential. Detached garage via shared drive with potential for additional rear parking. Steps to Summerhill, Nordheimer Ravine, Pump Park, transit, and within the coveted Brown School catchment. A rare opportunity in a true neighbourhood setting. (id:27476)
