Property Description for 35 Monkstown Road
Step into timeless elegance with this distinguished period home dating back to 1842—one of the few properties to survive the Great Fire of 1892. Nestled in a sought-after heritage neighborhood, this grand residence is just a short stroll to downtown, Bannerman Park, and several local schools—making it ideal for families seeking both charm and convenience. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home exudes historic character, featuring soaring ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and an attractive staircase that anchors the main level with classic style. The spacious top-floor primary suite was completed in August 2025 and includes a beautifully designed new ensuite bathroom—creating a private and luxurious retreat. Set on an oversized corner lot, the home enjoys a lovely backyard space perfect for relaxing or entertaining, along with a detached garage. A newly finished basement rec room adds flexible living or entertainment space. Extensive upgrades were completed in 2013, including modern electrical, PEX plumbing, new kitchen foundation and full renovation, some new windows, and a stylish main bathroom with in-floor heating. The front porch was rebuilt in 2014, and the home’s exterior was repainted in 2022. A WETT-certified woodstove in the dining room offers warmth and cozy ambiance. This is a truly rare opportunity to own a landmark property in one of the city’s most walkable and historic neighborhoods—where heritage, comfort, and location come together seamlessly. (id:38686)
