454 Brock Avenue, Toronto

This classic semi-detached sits in the heart of Dufferin Grove, where tree-lined streets, a beloved community park, and independent shops and cafes make everyday errands feel like part of the neighbourhood, not just a stop on the way home. The 2nd floor apartment (2 beds, 1 kitchen, 1 bath, and a separate entrance) is a built-in mortgage helper, letting you offset your monthly costs while you settle in on your own terms. Live on the main floor: bright living room, bedroom, kitchen, 2-piece bath, front porch and back veranda; all while your tenant helps carry the mortgage upstairs. The basement which is internally connected has its own separate entrance, kitchen and full bath, adds even more flexibility: space for extended family, a home office retreat, or future income potential. Two cold storage cantinas and a rare double-car garage round out the practical perks. From here, you can grab your morning coffee at a cozy cafe, spend weekends at Dufferin Mall, or check out the fun shops and restaurants on Bloor and College Streets, all within walking distance. Dufferin Grove Park is right in the neighbourhood, with green space and fun events for everyone, giving it a small-town feel in the middle of the city. Hop on the Bloor-Danforth subway at Dufferin Station for a quick, easy ride downtown.
