About this home
This meticulously maintained 2-storey multiplex offers a flexible layout of separate self-contained living spaces across three levels, each with its own kitchen and entrance access - ideal for investors, multi-generational families, or owner-occupiers looking to offset their mortgage with rental income. With 3+ bedrooms, 8 washrooms, and roughly 3,200 sq ft of total living space, this well-built 2001 home was designed for flexible & income-generating use. The main and second floors feature bright, spacious principal rooms, generous closets, a walk-out balcony from the primary bedroom, and a walk-out to a covered front porch, while the lower level offers a separate entrance and two additional bedrooms - perfect for extended family living or as a rented unit. Currently partially tenanted, the property offers immediate holding income with room to lease additional space, giving buyers flexibility to configure the property to suit their own plans. Set on a generous 39.5 x 106.5 ft lot, the property includes a detached 1.5-car garage with potential for additional parking income. Forced air gas heat, central air conditioning, municipal water and sewers, & an owned water heater round out the mechanicals. The property is currently zoned Residential Detached (RD) and fronts Donlands Ave, a City-identified major street; under Toronto's current Major Streets Zoning By-law, qualifying RD-zoned lots on designated major streets may permit small-scale apartment buildings up to six storeys and up to 60 units as-of-right, with significantly reduced parking requirements - a meaningful policy-driven upside for buyers considering redevelopment or intensification, though actual permitted density and unit yield for this specific lot should be independently confirmed with the City and a qualified planner. Steps to Donlands Subway Station on Line 2, with the future Ontario Line's Cosburn Station (Pape & Cosburn) currently under construction.

Listed at $1,495,000, this home is about 28% below comparable homes, worth a close look. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
In East York lately, sellers have been getting about 102% of asking and homes sell in about 20 days.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in East York, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 85 similar homes that recently sold nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 85 recently sold comparable homes — actual closing prices, not asks — adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.51M, lower than the comparables and worth a second look.
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, sold for $1.83M
- Size difference +$442K
- Bedrooms −$30K
- Bathrooms +$90K
- Adjusts to $2.34M
That comparable adjusts to $2.34M; the $2.09M estimate above is the median of all 85 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This estimate is grounded in actual closing prices from the last 15 months, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are still my in-person call.
The assigned public school is Westwood Middle School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Donlands Avenue is about a 1-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.

Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
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.
