🍃 A Decade-Long Labour of Love

74 Balmoral Street | $574,900 | MLS® 202626071

Beautiful character, thoughtful renovations and exceptional care. This century duplex in West Broadway reflects ten years of investment by owners who carefully reimagined the home while honouring its original charm.

Professionally renovated to the studs, it pairs stained glass, arched windows and substantial character trim with updated layouts, finishes and mechanical systems. Live in the main-floor suite and let the upstairs rental income help offset your mortgage, or rent both and welcome a well-cared-for property into your portfolio.

🏡 Main-Floor Living with Room to Spread Out

High ceilings, southeast-facing natural light and stained glass accents bring warmth to the open living and dining spaces. The updated kitchen features quartz counters, a tiled backsplash and stainless steel appliances, with a huge private covered deck just steps away for summer dinners and quiet evenings.

Two full bathrooms and a primary bedroom with a bright walk-in closet or flexible office space add everyday convenience. Downstairs, the finished basement offers a generous recreation room with a south-facing window, additional flex space and plenty of storage.

✨ An Upper Suite Worth Staying For

Spanning the second and third floors, the upper suite offers three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and its own private outdoor deck.

The spacious kitchen features an oversized peninsula with room to cook, gather and visit. Two second-floor bedrooms enjoy beautiful arched windows with views toward the Golden Boy, while the five-piece bathroom includes quartz counters, a dual vanity and laundry.

On the third floor, the primary retreat offers tall ceilings, windows in three directions and a full ensuite. A bright office or reading nook overlooking the downtown skyline makes this floor feel like a retreat above the city.
