266 Delaware Ave.

Welcome to 266 Delaware Avenue — a beautifully renovated red brick end-unit row house (feels like a semi-detached) set on a 14.09 x 127 ft lot in the heart of Dovercourt Village. Built in 1898, this character-rich home seamlessly blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern upgrades — all in a location that truly delivers.

From the moment you arrive, the large, private front porch, framed by a mature Japanese maple, sets the tone. It’s a peaceful, sun-dappled spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy the rhythm of the neighbourhood.

Inside, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light create an airy, welcoming feel. The living room is anchored by a stunning bay window and new hardwood floors, flowing effortlessly into a generous open-concept dining area — perfect for hosting family and friends. The newly remodeled west-facing kitchen is bright, sleek, and highly functional, featuring an eat-in nook, ample cabinetry, and expansive counter space. Walk out to the beautifully landscaped backyard for seamless indoor-outdoor living, and enjoy the rare convenience of a private garage off the rear lane for parking and additional storage.

The second floor offers three spacious, light-filled bedrooms, including a front-facing primary with three large windows and a double closet. A finished loft adds exceptional bonus space — ideal for a home office, playroom, or workout area.

The basement features separate front and rear entrances and offers flexible space for a rec room, gym, or playroom, complete with a second bathroom, dedicated laundry room, and ample storage. There is also excellent potential to create a self-contained apartment for added income.

A bit about the neighbourhood:

Dovercourt Village is one of those rare west-end pockets that still feels like a true neighbourhood—walkable, friendly, and quietly full of character.  Tree-lined streets, mature gardens, and classic brick homes give Dovercourt Village a warm, established feel the moment you turn onto the block. You can grab a coffee at an independent café, pick up dinner from a local spot, and run your errands on foot, all within a few blocks of home. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming: neighbours say hello, kids play in the park, and you quickly start to recognize familiar faces on your daily routine.

At the heart of the neighbourhood is Dovercourt Park, a six-acre green anchor with playgrounds, a wading pool, tennis courts, sports fields, and even natural ice rinks in winter. The Dovercourt Boys and Girls Club, located right in the park, offers year-round programs, a pool, gym, and activity rooms, making it a huge asset for families. You’re also just minutes from larger destinations like Christie Pits and Dufferin Grove Park, with pools, skating rinks, fire pits, and vibrant community programming that extend your backyard even further.

Dovercourt Village sits close to the centre of the city, with excellent TTC access that makes commuting downtown simple and reliable.   Your closest stop is Ossington on the Bloor-Danforth line, which is a major draw for professionals and first-time buyers. Day-to-day life is straightforward: there are small markets, cafes, and up-and-coming restaurants woven into the residential streets, so you rarely need to travel far for what you need.

What truly sets Dovercourt Village apart is its strong sense of community—there’s a mix of long-time residents and newer arrivals, creating a neighbourhood that feels both rooted and energetic. Young families and entrepreneurs are steadily choosing this area for its schools, recreation options, and the feeling that you’re part of something authentic. With ongoing reinvestment in homes and local businesses, the neighbourhood balances old-school charm with growth, making it a compelling place to buy now and enjoy for years to come.  All of this in an unbeatable, walk-everywhere location.  Steps to neighbourhood favourites like Mac’s Pizza, The Common, Paradise Grapevine, and Fiesta Farms. Located in the Dovercourt Public School (K–8) catchment.

A rare opportunity to own a vibrant, turnkey home in one of Toronto’s most sought-after communities.
