Cross Streets: Spadina Avenue/Harbord Street. ** Directions: West of Spadina, Just South of Harbord. There's a certain magic to Willcocks Street-a quiet, leafy stretch of heritage homes where neighbours actually know your name. At No. 90, that sense of place is immediate.Occupying a generous lot at the end of the row, this Victorian home offers the rare privacy and natural light that comes with having only one shared wall. A gated garden leads to a proper front porch made for morning coffee and evening unwinds. Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings set the tone, with authentic Victorian character carried throughout. A warm living space anchored by a wood-burning fireplace flows into an updated kitchen, complemented by the ultimate Annex convenience-a main-floor powder room. Upstairs, a central skylight keeps the home bright and airy. The generous front primary bedroom offers plenty of room to settle in, while the rear bedroom opens onto its own private terrace tucked among the treetops. The lower level adds another layer of flexibility, with a separate entrance, full washroom and laundry-ideal for guests, a home office, additional living space or storage. Outside, a landscaped garden creates a private city retreat, while a detached two-car garage off the rear laneway provides an increasingly rare luxury in the heart of downtown.Steps from the manicured grounds of U of T and the independent galleries, restaurants and bakeries of Harbord Village, yet tucked away on a quiet heritage street. Moments to the streetcar and subway, Little Italy, Toronto's hospital corridor and excellent schools. An established Annex home with character, space, privacy and the kind of downtown lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find. (id:27476)
