About 120 McGill St
In a city of skyscrapers, 120 McGill St is a treasure from Toronto’s past.
The 3-storey Victorian house has a classic red-brick exterior with a spacious 2-car private driveway.
Over a century old, its Victorian exterior is tall and narrow, with bay, bow and dormer windows and a shingled roof.
And because 120 McGill St lies on a quiet corner of the Church-Yonge Corridor, residents can enjoy both privacy and access.
The Church-Yonge Corridor is home to parks, condos, churches and fantastic architecture.
120 McGill St is currently tenanted and presents an amazing investment opportunity. Buyers can choose to either rent out their property or move in.

The freehold property spans a total of 2542.9 sq. ft. and consists of 6 bedrooms, 6 baths, 3 kitchens, and multiple living and dining areas.
The interior of 120 McGill St is more up-to-date than its Victorian facade.
That’s because it’s been fully renovated and brought into the 21st century.
Instead of antique floors and gas-lamps you’ll find pot-lights, laminates, and smooth 10-foot ceilings with crown molding.
More significant changes include the windows, roof, deck, furnace, air conditioner and hot water tank, all of which were upgraded in 2015.
120 McGill’s renovations are starkest in the kitchens, which were remodelled in 2014.
The main floor kitchen boasts a stylish back-splash, plentiful storage with built-in lights, ceramic floors, a separate dining area and recessed lighting.
It also comes with modern stainless steel appliances such as an oven, fridge, dishwasher and range hood.
The main floor also has a bedroom with a solid entry door.
At 9.4 by 14.7 sq. ft., its got enough room for a queen-sized bed and plenty of furniture.
It’s also well-lit by both a huge window and pot-lights, and features a large closet as well as laminate floors.
This bathroom, like others in the house, was renovated in 2014.
The main floor washroom has a walk-in shower, wall-mounted mirror and sink with storage drawer.

The second floor has undergone some major renovations, including a total redo of the kitchen and dining room.
This upgraded kitchen flaunts shiny white cabinets, an intricate back-splash, pot-lights, and crown molding.
It also carries the latest appliances, such as a stainless-steel fridge, microwave, cooktop and ultra-modern rangehood.
The 2nd floor bedroom is incredibly tall and spacious, with room to spare for a vanity, ottoman and other furniture.
Plus it’s decked out in dark laminates, pot-lights, a bay window, and a 3-piece ensuite bath.
The second floor is also home to a second bedroom, making it a great choice for families looking to rent.
At 10.5 by 9.0 sq. ft., it’s big enough for a bed and several pieces of furniture.

Simple yet serene, the 3-piece ensuite bath uses detailed border tiles to add some visual flourish.
More practical components include a walk-in shower, oval mirror, dual cabinets, and a raised sink-bowl of gorgeous glass.
Another bedroom makes the 3rd floor an appealing choice for families looking to rent.

Appliances include a cooktop, refrigerator and a powerful range-hood with dual fans.
The basement bathroom features a walk-in shower, strong lighting and some lovely tile-work.
Meanwhile, the basement bedroom is an ample 9 by 10.3 sq. ft., with gray walls, pot-lights and a large closet.
120 McGill St – Backyard
Besides a 3rd floor deck,120 McGill has its own backyard.
The backyard is fenced around for privacy, allowing residents to socialize and entertain in peace.
There’s enough space for several chairs and tables, making it perfect for summer barbecues.
And since the floor is tiled, it saves residents the trouble of cutting and maintaining grass.
But the backyard isn’t totally without nature. For example: it has a garden bed full of evergreens.
The backyard also has a handy garden shed.
Need a place to store your gardening, BBQ and snow removable equipment? Look no further.
