A LITTLE ITALY UNICORN. AND YES, THEY REALLY DO EXIST! Part home, part business, part investment opportunity and ALL kinds of fabulous! Tucked away on a quiet residential street in the heart of Palmerston-Little Italy, this rare mixed-use gem is anything but ordinary. Up front, a street-level commercial space with a long history as a successful neighbourhood salon. Behind it and above, a 3-bedroom residence offering the ultimate live-work lifestyle, with vacant residential possession on closing. And there's MORE! A fully finished lower level with kitchen, new 3-piece bathroom, living space and TWO separate exits/walkouts adds another layer of incredible flexibility. Out back? A deep, grassy backyard and a substantial 2-car block garage. Seriously, what's not to love? Steps to Clinton Public School, half a block to Harbord Collegiate, and an easy stroll to U of T, Central Tech, fabulous cafés, restaurants and all the flavour of Little Italy. The property is identified under City of Toronto Zoning Exception R 735 (Chapter 900.2.10), with reported longstanding non-residential use permissions and a 0.6 FSI density rating, all subject to independent verification.

Because cookie-cutter is boring. And this property is anything but! Buyer to verify zoning, permitted uses and any proposed alterations with the City of Toronto.
