The brief
About 239 Seaton St
239 Seaton St is a 4+1-bedroom, 3-bathroom freehold townhouse in Moss Park, Toronto, listed for sale at an asking price of $1,555,000 (MLS® C13786896).
A true family legacy, proudly and lovingly maintained by the same family since 1960, this charming circa-1890 Georgian home is located mid-block in the highly desirable Cabbagetown neighbourhood. At 23.94' wide x 95.27' deep, it is one of the wider lots on the street, offering generous interior rooms and outdoor space. The property sits on a predominantly owner-occupied block, with owner-occupied neighbours on both sides. The main floor features large, expansive rooms, a dedicated hallway, a generous eat-in kitchen with rear mudroom, and a powder room. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including two exceptionally large bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The basement includes a separate apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom, good ceiling height, a large laundry room, and a rough-in for a second bathroom. Outside, the fenced front yard and large porch provide a welcoming outdoor space, while the wide rear yard can accommodate up to two parking spaces. A third-storey attic provides additional space and potential for future expansion. Cabbagetown is renowned for its historic Victorian homes, mature tree-lined streets, excellent parks, walkability, restaurants, and strong community character. The area is particularly appealing to families and pet lovers, with numerous parks and green spaces nearby. The home is an 8-minute walk to Yonge Street and a short walk to the Financial District, offering exceptional access to downtown while retaining a quiet residential setting. The property is located within the Cabbagetown Southwest Heritage Conservation District.
