40 Cowan Avenue, Toronto

There are homes you tour and then there are homes that speak to you. Nestled on one of Parkdale's most beloved, tree-lined streets, this enchanting 2.5-storey Victorian home is a rare blend of timeless charm and curated modern elegance. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by the romance of a bygone era: soaring ceilings, original stained glass, antique doorknobs and intricate millwork whispering stories of the past. Yet step inside, and the narrative evolves: a thoughtful open-concept layout, a remodelled kitchen with custom built-ins and a gas stove, a cozy living room with a gas fireplace and bay window, and a main floor powder room - all designed for contemporary living. The second level offers two gracious bedrooms and a sun-drenched bonus room that opens to a private deck. A generous walk-in linen closet, roughed-in for 2nd-floor laundry, adds convenience and flexibility. The large 4-piece Scandinavian-inspired bathroom features an indulgent steam shower and custom cabinetry. The third-floor primary is a true haven, complete with a refined 3-piece ensuite w/ heated floors, a double closet and a rooftop terrace that offers an intimate escape above the city's bustle. The finished lower level, complete with a separate entrance, offers a wealth of possibilities - whether as a family room, an in-law suite, or an income-generating space with a kitchen rough-in already in place. Outside, lush gardens, a tranquil pond and two-car parking on a 150-ft lot complete this picture-perfect setting. Cowan isn't just a street, it's a community, where neighbours gather, kids play and traditions like the Cowanation Spring Sale & legendary Halloweens bring the block to life. This is more than a home, it's where stories are made and lived. Ideally situated between Roncesvalles and the best of King/Queen W, with unmatched access to vibrant cafes, local shops & dining. Steps to Lake Ontario, High Park & easy commutes via King streetcar, Exhibition GO, or Gardiner.
