60 Elm Grove Avenue Renovated Victorian 3 Beds 2 Baths

Historic Parkdale and 60 Elm Grove Avenue

Vibrant. Charming. It’s Parkdale.

Parkdale is a special neighbourhood in downtown Toronto. The history here is truly amazing. It’s full of detached Victorian homes, semis and row houses with large beautiful trees. There is a ton of history here dating back to when it was first founded and was one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in Toronto. It has transitioned over the decades and has made a big comeback over the last 15 years. Many of these older homes are now renovated and the area rejuvenated. Elm Grove Avenue is a one way street with a canopy of trees running north from King Street West. It ends at Queen Street West and right into a great strip full of restaurants, bars, and shops. Grand Electric, Electric Mud, Chanteclier, and Miss Thing’s are some notable hot spots. The walkability is phenomenal. Everything is at your doorstep from transit, parks, shopping, LCBO, bank, restaurants, Home Hardware and more. Elm Grove Avenue is one of the most sought after streets in Parkdale.

60 Elm Grove Avenue keeps the Parkdale tradition going. It is a renovated Victorian row house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms that mix classic and modern styles. Some of the original features are still intact. The front porch has been completely redone with pressure treated decking, a tongue and groove pine plank ceiling and bright pot lights. A small curved railing and 3 pillars add a traditional touch. The custom door with large window and antique brass hardware sets the tone as you enter the home. The first thing you notice is the ceiling height. In classic Victorian style, they are very high and feature two beautiful Rosettes. The coffered ceiling in the dining room adds a stunning aesthetic. This row house does not lack light flushing in from east and west. All the windows are new, but the original trim and mouldings are still there keeping the classic look. Most of the original baseboards boarder the main floor living space and bedrooms. The modern renovations begin with the kitchen. The entrance and ceiling were raised almost two feet. White custom cabinetry, polished brass hardware, and white appliances. The attention to detail in the floor design is stunning with hexagon white and black tile and black grout. Calacatta quartz countertops, under mounted white apron sink and the matte black faucet compliment the open wood shelving with brass brackets very nicely. At the back of the house tucked in the corner is the stylish main floor powder room. The backyard was completely redone with sitting areas, Banas stonework, and privacy fence. Beyond the gate, there are one and a half parking spots off a laneway. The full 2nd-floor bathroom was completely redone with some beautiful features including Calacatta marble shelving, custom black concrete floating vanity, white hexagon and subway tile with black grout and a round mirror. 60 Elm Grove Avenue is perfect for a couple, single person or small family looking to live downtown with a great residential community. Parkdale offers all those things and more.
