16 Boswell Avenue

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Annex – right next to Yorkville – this gracious 5+1 bedroom Victorian semi offers timeless charm, flexibility, and exceptional value in one of Toronto’s most coveted neighbourhoods.

Step through a rounded arch entrance and into a striking New York-style foyer featuring double transom windows that flood the entry with natural light and hint at the grandeur within. The elegant living room boasts soaring ceilings, two tall front windows, original hardwood floors, and a classic fireplace flanked by recessed alcoves – ideal for display or custom built-ins.

Adjacent, the spacious dining room – currently styled as a family room – showcases high baseboard moulding and a large picture window enhancing the home’s historic charm.

The renovated eat-in kitchen blends warmth and function with stainless steel appliances, butcher block countertops, rich brick backsplash, and ample cabinetry. Step outside and directly into a private urban garden – a true retreat – featuring slate stonework, lush landscaping, and exceptionally high privacy walls covered in mature greenery, ideal for al fresco entertaining.

Upstairs, the second level offers a serene primary suite with space for a king bed, two oversized modern windows, and a built-in closet. Two additional bedrooms (one currently a gym, the other ideal as a nursery, office, or dressing room) provide flexibility. A beautifully appointed bath with floor-to-ceiling glass walk-in shower, sleek fixtures, and grey tile completes the level.

The third floor reveals two charming bedrooms tucked under gabled ceilings, one with a delightful windowed alcove – perfect for a reading nook or cozy study.

The lower level offers excellent utility and versatility: a bedroom, workshop/laundry with modern counters a mini-fridge, and abundant storage. This level could be ideal as a media room, playroom, or guest suite.

Situated just steps from Yorkville and Avenue Road, this home enjoys unrivalled access to designer boutiques, fine dining, gourmet grocers, world-class culture, and top schools. The University of Toronto, Bloor Street shopping, and multiple transit lines are all within walking distance.

A rare opportunity to enjoy sophisticated, spacious living in a vibrant, storied Toronto neighbourhood.
