About 74 Homewood Ave
The 3-storey duplex epitomizes classic Victorian architecture, boasting antique red-brick walls, bay and half-moon windows, and a steep gabled roof.
Although 74 Homewood is zoned as a duplex, it’s currently being occupied as a single-family home.
However, it has all the makings of an investment opportunity, including 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and a finished basement with 2 study rooms.
Plus its Cabbagetown location has everything residents or tenants could need, including amazing restaurants, gorgeous parks, incredible arts and culture, and some of Toronto’s best schools.
74 Homewood Ave – Main Floor
The family room features hardwood floors, soaring 10-foot ceilings, and an ornate chandelier set in a decorative design.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, 74 Homewood is also very practical.
Speaking of space, 74 Homewood’s living room is an enormous 10.7 by 19.0 sq. ft.
For even more natural light, there’s a magnificent antique fireplace.
74 Homewood’s kitchen is nothing short of massive.
Besides a wall-mounted glass-front cabinet with multiple shelves, the kitchen contains a tension rod from which to hang utensils and other accessories.
Although 74 Homewood is Victorian, its appliances are completely modern, including a stainless-steel fridge, stove, dishwasher, and a washer and dryer.
74 Homewood Ave – Second Floor
The primary bedroom blends classic Victorian elements like an ornate ceiling lamp and bay windows with modern touches such as colourful walls.
At 11.7 by 15. 1 sq. ft., the second bedroom is almost as large as the primary.
The second bedroom is also outfitted with a large closet and dark hardwood floors.
74 Homewood Ave’s second floor is also home to a 5-piece bath with dual sinks and toilets.
Fusing Victorian form and function, the bathroom also features elegant light-fixtures, ceramic floors, porcelain walls, a large window, and a walk-in shower.
74 Homewood Ave – Third Floor
It contains 2 large bedrooms and a kitchenette, providing the ideal rental conditions.
The 3rd bedroom is also well-lit by a window and flaunts high-end parquet flooring.
Being able to cook where you live can be a major draw for families looking to rent—along with an extra bedroom.
Occupants of the bedroom enjoy hardwood floors, a window with a view, and tons of space for a bed, entertainment centre and work desk.
74 Homewood Ave – Basement
Stretching 771 sq. ft., the basement consists of two studies, a bathroom, furnace, and laundry room.
The versatile room sports cool ceramic floors, a window for warm natural light, and as the photo above shows, can handle tons of furniture.
It’s furnished with a closet, window, ceramic floors, and plenty of space for decor.
Finally, 74 Homewood’s basement has two potential entrances at the front and back, giving any future tenants greater privacy.
74 Homewood Ave – Backyard
With several trees, a picnic bench, and abundant space to run around, it’s the perfect place for kids to play, barbecues with family, or large gatherings with friends.
Resident or tenant, 74 Homewood’s backyard is the perfect place to spend a summer’s day.
