373 Walmer Road

The Details

Ideally situated on the quiet ravine end of Walmer Road near the Casa Loma stables, 373 Walmer is a lovingly cared for, character-rich family home with exceptional curb appeal and a detached garage. Owned by the same family for over fifty years, it sits on a deep, twenty-five by one-hundred-forty-seven-foot lot overlooking Spadina Road Park and Sir Winston Churchill Park beyond that.

As you enter the home through charming double glass French doors, a vestibule leads into the foyer and main floor, with a functional layout and many delightful details. The bright living room features hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace with a traditional wood mantle and stone surround, and lovely large windows overlooking the front perennial gardens. The formal dining room walks out onto the covered back deck and garden beyond, and showcases the same hardwood floors, classic wainscotting and built-in cabinets. The light-filled, eat-in kitchen alongside the dining room has a second walk-out to the covered back deck, and potential to be reimagined as an open concept layout.

The traditional solid wood staircase is complemented by beautiful wainscotting and leads to a functional second-floor layout with a built-in linen closet, three plus-one bedrooms and a large, bright family bathroom. Each sizable bedroom has ample closet space and hardwood floors. In addition, the principal bedroom showcases a tandem den (or fourth bedroom) with lovely views of the back garden and green space, that could inspire a future dream ensuite.

The lower level has tremendous potential with a side entrance, convenient powder room, recreation room with a functioning sauna and shower room, lots of storage and a large, separate laundry room.

373 Walmer Avenue is a true gem in the heart of one of the city’s most exciting neighbourhoods. Retreat to the serene oasis surrounding the home or take a short stroll to Casa Loma, Sir Winston Churchill or Wells Hill Parks, Nordheimer Ravine, or the nearby shops and restaurants of St Clair West or Forest Hill Village. The home is also conveniently located within a few minutes walk to St. Clair West subway station, which makes getting downtown a breeze. It is in close proximity to some of the city’s most sought after private and public schools.

This exceptional midtown property provides a rare opportunity for a new family to renovate and cherish the home’s character and charm, or reimagine it entirely for the next chapter.
