About this property

Your chance to live in historic Cabbagetown! This bright, open-concept 1-bedroom suite sits on the third floor of a beautiful Victorian-style 3-storey building on Metcalfe Street, one of the most admired and photographed streets in the neighbourhood. This quiet, quaint street is lined with restored Victorian homes, mature trees and well-tended front gardens, and it sits in a protected heritage conservation district, so its charm is here to stay. Up on the top floor, you'll enjoy a peaceful retreat above the street, with an open layout that makes the space feel airy and easy to furnish, whether you're cooking, entertaining or simply relaxing at home. Cabbagetown feels like a small village while being minutes from downtown. You're steps away from No Frills, TD, CIBC and Shoppers Drug Mart, plus the cafés, bakeries and restaurants of Parliament Street. Riverdale Farm is a short stroll away, a free, city-run working farm with heritage barns, ponds, trails and a seasonal farmers' market. Next door, Riverdale Park West offers skyline views and some of the city's best sunsets. Allan Gardens' historic glass conservatory and the Toronto Necropolis, with its Gothic Revival chapel, are an easy walk, and the Don Valley trails are close by for running, cycling and weekend escapes. Every September the neighbourhood gathers for the much-loved Cabbagetown Festival. Getting around is easy: Castle Frank station on the Bloor-Danforth line is close by, the 506 Carlton streetcar runs straight downtown, the Parliament bus connects north and south, and drivers have quick access to the DVP. Prefer to walk? The Eaton Centre and Toronto Metropolitan University are only about 30 minutes on foot. Ideal for a professional, a couple or anyone who wants heritage character, a quiet top-floor home and the convenience of living close to the core. Homes on this street rarely come up, so don't miss your chance to call it home!
