Welcome to 554 Runnymede Road, a truly unique west end property offering exceptional scale, character and possibilities on a rare 30 x 149 ft lot. Originally built as a single family home in 1930, the property provides an impressive 3,374 sq. ft. of living space across four levels. Over the years, it was converted to accommodate multiple units and has more recently been returned to a spacious single family residence, creating an extraordinary opportunity for its next owner to make it their own.
Keep it as the substantial family home it is today, reimagine the property for multigenerational living, explore a return to multiple units or investigate the potential for a future laneway home. With a new 1.5 car garage plus parking for three additional cars off the laneway, the size of both the house and lot opens the door to possibilities rarely found in this part of Toronto.
An enclosed front porch with skylight opens to a generous foyer and beautifully proportioned main floor filled with original character. Striking gumwood wainscoting and trim, hardwood floors and a brick fireplace speak to the home’s 1930s heritage, while its large principal rooms provide the space and flexibility demanded by modern family life.
At the heart of the home, the renovated eat-in kitchen features quartz countertops, shaker style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and abundant storage, with a walkout to a large deck and the exceptionally deep, fully fenced backyard. A rare main floor powder room and oversized hall closet add everyday convenience.
The second floor offers four spacious bedrooms. The primary bedroom features hardwood floors and generous closet space, while the rear bedroom has a unique two level configuration filled with natural light, creating a fantastic space for children with separate areas for sleeping, playing or studying. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom featuring a deep soaker tub complete this floor.
The finished third floor provides another private level of living space, with a fifth bedroom and its own four piece bathroom. Ideal as a teenager’s retreat, guest suite, home office or additional family space, it further demonstrates the incredible versatility of this substantial home.
The lower level adds even more possibilities, with two separate entrances, a large recreation room, sixth bedroom with an above grade window and closet, spacious laundry room and two additional bathrooms. Previously configured as a separate apartment, with kitchen rough-ins still in place, this level offers excellent potential for extended family, guests or a future income suite.
Outside, the sheer scale of the property sets it apart. The 149 ft deep lot provides an expansive backyard, large deck, new 1.5 garage and additional laneway parking while still leaving an exceptional amount of outdoor space to enjoy. There’s further potential for a laneway house of up to 1,722 sq. ft. (see Laneway Report)
