About this home
Set on an extraordinary 60' x 182' property in the heart of Islington Village, this storybook English cottage captures the timeless charm and beauty that make this little enclave so desirable. There is a genuine sense of community here that is hard to find. Neighbours become friends, conversations happen at the end of driveways, children play in front yards and dog owners know each other by name. It's a special place. Bordered to the north by the prestigious Islington Golf Club, the neighbourhood feels like a peaceful village with winding tree-lined streets, charming homes and walking distance to a variety of parks and green space including Echo Valley Park and its scenic trail system. Tucked far back from the street beneath a copy of mature trees this property offers exceptional privacy and future potential, whether building a luxury home or enjoying the character of the existing one while renovating over time. This 1.5 story home features 3 beds, 3 baths, an updated kitchen with island, two wood-burning fireplaces, a dreamy primary retreat with built-ins, a sunken walk-in closet and ensuite, plus a finished lower level. Just moments to transit, highways, downtown and the airport. A truly rare offering in one of Etobicoke's most beloved neighbourhoods.

Listed at $1,798,000, this home is within the range of a wider set of listings, but with few close matches nearby, so worth confirming with 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 38 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 38 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.85M, a bit higher. The comparable range is wide here, so treat this as a rough read until I run a full CMA.
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 $1.65M
- Bedrooms −$30K
- Bathrooms +$15K
- Adjusts to $1.63M
That comparable adjusts to $1.63M; the $1.65M estimate above is the median of all 38 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 (Etobicoke Collegiate Institute) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Kipling Ave at Goswell Rd is about a 2-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.

Investor snapshot
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.
