70 Shaftesbury Avenue Townhouse 6


Property Description

Tucked within an intimate 14-unit enclave in coveted Summerhill, this red brick condo-townhouse presents a rare opportunity to design and reimagine a home in one of the city’s most beloved neighbourhoods. Spanning over 1,785 square feet across four levels, it offers the feel of quiet residential living with the convenience of direct underground parking and immediate access to the very best of Summerhill.

Accessed through a shared ivy-lined courtyard, the townhouse opens into an open-concept living and dining room anchored by a wood burning fireplace. The kitchen is a galley style, which could be opened in the future to connect more seamlessly to the principal spaces. Orientated to a westerly exposure, there is a main floor walk-out from the living room that opens to the private courtyard garden, framed by brick walls.

The second level currently features a generously sized bedroom, a four-piece bathroom, and several storage closets. Many neighbouring units have reconfigured this floor to accommodate two bedrooms, and floor plans are available of other examples of this, as required. On the third floor, the configuration also is currently designed as an open concept space, with a versatile future use to be directed by the next unit owner. 

The additional living space in the lower level is awarded natural light from an impressive row of skylights overhead. This oversized space can be used as a recreation room, gym or a home office. This level also holds a two-piece bathroom (with shower rough-in), a walk-in storage closet, laundry facilities, and direct access to the underground garage with parking for one vehicle. 

Nestled among mature trees in a picturesque enclave of discreet townhouses, this residence is just steps to Summerhill’s shops and restaurants as well as the Yonge Street subway line that is immediately at the end of the street. Whether you are downsizing, entering the market, or seeking a well-located home with the flexibility to tailor it to your needs, this is an exceptional opportunity in Toronto’s coveted mid-town community of Summerhill.
