Step into the timeless elegance of this c.1880 Victorian at 169 De Grassi Street - a perfect marriage of historic character and modern updates on one of South Riverdale's most iconic streets. With more than $100,000 invested into its transformation, this home beautifully balances its vintage charm with thoughtful, contemporary living. Rich with curb appeal, it retains classic details: soaring ceilings, a stained-glass transom, and intricate architectural touches, while a major, architect led permitted renovation converted the interior into a flexible 3+1 bedroom residence. A private third floor primary bedroom plus a dedicated office are a rare luxury with today's live/work demands. The recently renovated bathroom features a striking double vanity, perfectly complementing the homes blend of classic and modern. Outside, enjoy a low-maintenance backyard beneath a serene tree canopy, complete with private lane parking, an accessible shed, and dedicated bike storage. With the upcoming Metrolinx station a 5 minute walk away, yet far enough to avoid the disruption of construction, you'll enjoy future convenience without the headache. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Toronto's history.
