First thing you'll notice: this is a narrow semi-detached on a 17.5-foot lot, but it's surprisingly deep at 129 feet. The front has a mix of stone and brick, a porch, and steps - classic East York row house vibe. Inside, it's a bit of a time capsule on the main floor with a living room, dining room, and kitchen that have wood-look flooring and white walls. The kitchen has a stainless steel fridge, and there's a separate office space with a wooden desk and bookshelf. Head upstairs and you'll find three bedrooms, one with a modern feel, an armchair, and a window overlooking greenery; another is empty with wood laminate floors. The third bedroom has light pink walls and original hardwood. The hallway has new laminate and recessed lighting - signs of some updates. Downstairs is a finished basement with two more bedrooms, a renovated room with purple walls and recessed lighting, plus a laundry area with a washer and dryer. There's one bathroom with a dark vanity and tiled tub. Out back, a covered deck overlooks a fenced yard with a shed, and there's a concrete driveway with space for two cars. Location's a big plus: about three minutes on foot to the subway, and a short trip to downtown. This place is priced at $799,900, which is well below the neighborhood median of $1.49M for nearby listings, but it's a bit of a fixer-upper. There's potential to add a laneway house, subject to approval from the city. Great for investors or someone willing to put in work.
