Palmerston-Little Italy, Toronto · MLS® C13225554
About this home
Palmerston Boulevard is one of the city's most storied streets. Gated at the entrance, lined with historic cast-iron lampposts, and canopied by mature trees that have watched this neighbourhood evolve for over a century. There is simply no other street like it in Toronto. Little Italy at your doorstep. Restaurants, cafés, culture, and the subway are all within reach - yet the moment you turn onto Palmerston, the city softens. Equally rare as the location is the expansive 50 by 127 foot lot with a private drive, lane access, and the potential to build a two-storey laneway home with an integrated two-car garage. Options like this don't surface often. Step through the pillared front porch into three self-contained units, each with its own distinct character. From traditional to contemporary. Keep it as the turnkey multi-unit property it already is - an intelligent hold in one of Toronto's most enduring neighbourhoods - or reimagine it entirely as a singular grand residence. For those with the vision to create their dream home, few canvases in this city are more compelling. Some addresses find you. This one was waiting for you all along.

Listed at $5,749,900, this home is tracking about 31% above a wider set of listings, though close matches were thin, so treat this as a rough read until I run a precise CMA. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.
Based on 5 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 5 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $4.46M, a close match.
How I got there
Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.
- Closest comparable, listed at $2.07M
- Size difference +$2.00M
- Bedrooms −$30K
- Bathrooms +$30K
- Adjusts to $4.07M
That comparable adjusts to $4.07M; the $4.38M estimate above is the median of all 5 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not sold prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and I can run a full CMA with recent solds.
Its public catchment (Clinton Street Junior Public School) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
On location, this is a more car-dependent spot, so buyers here typically drive. Transit is limited nearby. Worth weighing if transit access matters to you.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $4.38M, median of 5 comparables.

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.
