The brief
About 142 Borden St
142 Borden St is a 6+3-bedroom, 8-bathroom triplex in University, Toronto, listed for sale at an asking price of $2,998,000 (MLS® C13498482).
Tucked onto one of downtown Toronto's most coveted residential streets, 142 Borden Street is a turnkey income property in the heart of Harbord Village - steps from Little Italy, Kensington Market, and the University of Toronto. This is the kind of address that rarely trades hands: a beautifully maintained triplex (legal duplex with a legal self-contained basement unit), sitting on an exceptionally deep 138-foot lot with a private, fully enclosed backyard and a rear detached garage off the laneway. Configured as three self-contained 3-bedroom units, this property is built for serious cash flow and flexibility. Each unit lives large, with generous bedrooms and full self-contained layouts ideal for families, professionals, or students. With strong rents across all 3 units, the property offers gross potential income of approximately $147,000 per year - a standout return for a freehold downtown asset. Whether you're an investor seeking a stabilized portfolio piece or an owner-occupier looking to live in one unit while the others carry the mortgage, the numbers here are hard to beat.
