291 St Helen

Description

Century semi steps from transit and eclectic mix of cafes, restaurants and services. Originally built in 1910, this home has been lived in by the same family 50 plus years. Perfect opportunity for builders, contractors or buyers looking to renovate their vision to life in an exceptionally transit-friendly home with great "bones". Approximately 18' x 120' lot with detached garage, high ceilings (9' main flr, 8'6" 2nd flr, 7' bsmt), spacious rooms and character wood trim/built-ins throughout. Yard includes quiet east exposure with fenced in lawn leading to spacious garage. Unmatched transit accessibility: 4 min walk to Lansdowne subway, 8 min walk to UP Express and Bloor GO. Additionally, new Junction Triangle GO station construction underway at doorstep (aka Bloor-Lansdowne GO Station), will be a new stop on the Barrie line. Steps to new multi-use trail along the West Toronto Rail path Extension. Excellent school district: Brock Junior Public School & Bloor Collegiate - currently ranked 12th top Ontario high school on Fraser Institute Rankings, within ~10 min walk. Set-back from Bloor and Lansdowne, this home is wealthy in sense of lot size, surrounding community, excellent transit, top schools, cool shops & services and overall location! Property requires substantial renovations and is being sold in "as-is, where-is" condition.
