This timeless 3-bedroom, 2-storey red brick home sits on an impressive 33' x 140' lot along one of the neighbourhood's most beloved streets. Built in 1919 and carefully maintained over the years, it offers a blend of classic character, thoughtful updates, and a backyard retreat you wont expect--just a short stroll to the heart of Westboro Village.

The sun-filled living and dining rooms flow seamlessly for entertaining, while the bright rear family room addition offers a relaxed vibe with exposed brick, abundant south-west facing windows, pot lights, and direct access to the expansive two-tier deck. The remodeled kitchen is both stylish and functional with stainless steel appliances including a double oven. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms with warm hardwood floors share a well-appointed 4-piece bathroom. The basement is unfinished offering ample storage, laundry, and utility. The backyard is a true highlight. A full-width two-tier deck overlooks the deep, sloping lot, with a staircase that leads down to a lower garden landing surrounded by mature trees, lush greenery, and a storybook treehouse--a peaceful and private escape in the city. Located just a 5-minute walk to Westboro Villages shops, restaurants, cafés, fitness studios, and the vibrant local Farmers' Market.
