85 Walmer Road, Toronto, ON
Annex, Toronto · MLS® C13021728
About this home
A five-unit Annex Semi Detached property with the kind of envelope and location that is not being built at today's replacement cost. Legal four-plex above grade plus a legal non-conforming lower suite across 5,225+ sq.ft. on Walmer Road, one of the most tenured income streets in central Toronto. In-place rents sit well below current Annex benchmarks. Income reflects long-tenured tenancies rather than today's market. The unit mix is differentiated - not five interchangeable bachelors. Unit 2 on the main floor is a 1,396 sq.ft. parlour-floor residence with a 21-foot living room, fireplace, oversized kitchen, and a 17-foot principal bedroom. Unit 5 on the third floor (1,171 sq.ft.) is configured with two kitchens, two four-piece baths, two primary bedrooms, an office, and a dining room - lives as one generous suite today. Unit 4 (758 sq.ft.) has a four-piece ensuite, walk-in closet, and living space. Unit 3 (710 sq.ft.) is a full one-bedroom with fireplace, kitchen, and dining. Unit 1 in the lower level (1,191 sq.ft., legal non-conforming) reads as a proper apartment: one-bedroom plus 15-foot den, full kitchen, three-piece bath, and private utility room. Three distinct buyer paths converge here. For the investor, five legal income streams on a single folio, a demand floor set by U of T, downtown professionals, and the Dupont / Spadina subway corridor. For the owner-investor - Multiple units are suitable and are amongst the most substantial owner's suites found inside a purpose-built Annex income property; live in it and let the other four units carry the debt while optionality is preserved. For the long-view buyer planning a single-family reversion - 5,225+ sq. ft. of interior envelope is a credible footprint for a top-of-market Annex restoration, and the existing plumbing stacks, kitchens, and floor plates make either path possible without starting from zero. Walking distance to Bloor Street, Casa Loma, the University of Toronto, and the Spadina subway line.

Heads up: the asking price here sits well below what comparable listings suggest. In this market that usually means it is priced to draw multiple offers, so plan for competition and a final number above asking. I would not put an automatic figure on this one. Tell me you are interested and I will pull the most comparable recent sales and give you a straight answer on what it will really take.

Affordability & Mortgage
Income needed assumes a ~32% GDS ratio; weekly is mortgage principal & interest only. Price ÷ income is the home price over the income needed. Fixed reference assumptions so listings compare on equal footing, not a lending decision.

Investor snapshot
Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
