18 Afton AVE Toronto C01, ON M6J 1R8

Some homes simply exist. This one speaks to something more. Set quietly on Afton Avenue in the heart of Little Portugal, this early 20th-century townhouse blends historic charm with a purposeful series of modern upgrades. Set on a cozy city lot it feels larger than expected - taller ceilings, thoughtfully reimagined spaces, and natural light that travels gracefully from room to room. Inside, a fluid main floor offers hardwood underfoot and a seamless connection between living, dining, and a slate-floored kitchen with quartz counters - renovated in 2016, but still timeless. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms and an updated 3-piece bath form a calm retreat from the hum of the city, where the CN Tower quietly reveals itself beyond the rooftops - a reassuring compass and quiet reminder of the city's rhythm, especially after dark. While below, a fully finished basement offers a second full bath, laundry, and a generous recreation space with hardwood flooring - perfect for quiet evenings, creative work, or overflow guests. The details speak softly but clearly: windows and doors replaced just a year ago; roof refreshed, and systems steadily maintained. A concrete path leads to a charming front entry; out back, a fenced garden and tiled patio offer a private pause, sheltered and green, with a discreet side entrance to the home via a pedestrian lane in the back. Street parking, municipal services, and pet-friendly zoning check every practical box. Neighbourhood highlights are within walking reach - Queen West energy, local cafés like The Federal, groceries at FreshCo, and 24hr transit service on both Queen and Dundas - all in a place where walking feels natural, and cycling comes effortlessly, with scores to match. Schools, parks, banks, and everyday essentials fall within a 15-minute radius. This is a home for those who seek more than space - who seek place. Thoughtfully composed, quietly confident - a home that gets the details right, and makes it feel effortless.
