more than a house, 32 eaton avenue is a rare opportunity to put down roots in a neighbourhood that looks after its own.
set in danforth village, one of the east end's most established and beloved neighbourhoods, this renovated semi-detached home brings together quiet character and serious modern comfort. mature trees line the street, front porches invite conversation, and the lots are generous in a way that is increasingly rare this close to the core. it is the kind of address where mornings begin slowly and neighbours genuinely know one another.
inside, the main floor opens bright and warm. five-inch plank engineered hardwood runs throughout, and a custom glass staircase with a hanging monorail design and wood treads becomes the sculptural centre of the home. a glass partition beside the stair carries natural light deep into the foyer. the kitchen is a clear showpiece, finished in white high-gloss cabinetry with soft-close hardware and a caesarstone waterfall island that seats three. a wall-to-wall custom pantry keeps everything in its place, while a bosch dishwasher and full-size frigidaire refrigerator round out a space built for real cooking. just off the kitchen, a custom-tiled mudroom walks out to the backyard.
upstairs, the primary retreat rises to vaulted ceilings with an exposed beam overhead and double custom closets on either side. its four-piece ensuite is finished in quartz, with a glass-enclosed rain shower and refined tilework. the second bedroom is wonderfully clever, featuring a custom murphy bed with built-in storage that opens the room to flexible use. the third bedroom enjoys a walk-in closet and a large east-facing window that catches the morning sun. a jack and jill bathroom connects the two, while a skylight brightens the upper hall. second-floor laundry adds everyday ease.
as a legal duplex, the home delivers real flexibility. the separate-entrance basement apartment is fully self-contained, with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, three-piece bathroom, and dedicated laundry. it suits rental income, extended family, or a live-in nanny equally well, a rare and valuable option at this price point in the east end.
the home's strength runs well beneath the surface. taken back to the studs in 2017, it was rebuilt with new plumbing, 200-amp electrical, windows, and interior doors. spray foam insulation, raised second-floor ceilings, a flagstone porch, and glass railings reflect a renovation done properly rather than quickly. fifty-seven dimmable pot lights, central vacuum, smart-home cameras front and back, and separate security systems layer in modern convenience.
out back, the private yard is built for slowing down. a composite deck refreshed in 2024 gives you room to lounge, dine, and gather, with a gas line ready for the weber bbq. a new shed and a built-in garage with fresh interlocking round out the picture.
