Step Into a Love Story Written in Brick, Canopy, Golden Light, and Heartfelt Gatherings

Close your eyes and let yourself feel it: the gentle crackle of a fireplace warming the room on a crisp evening, the aroma of a home-cooked meal drifting from the open kitchen, soft laughter filling the air as family and friends gather in perfect harmony. Sunlight streams through historic windows, dancing across polished floors, while outside, mature trees sway like old friends keeping watch.

This is the soul-stirring reality waiting for you at 110 Cottingham Street — a rare, one-of-one 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom, three-storey semi-detached home in the heart of Summerhill, Toronto. Tucked at the very end of the coveted north side of one of the city’s most legendary streets, it rests on an exceptional 26 x 160 foot lot — one of the deepest and most desirable in the neighbourhood. Passionately curated and tenderly cared for over 30 years, this is more than a house. It is a warm, living legacy — an urban oasis where timeless elegance, everyday comfort, and boundless possibility come together to create your family’s forever story.

The Heart of the Home: Warmth, Connection, and Timeless Living

Step inside and feel the embrace immediately. The incredible warm and inviting living room, anchored by a beautiful fireplace, flows seamlessly into the open kitchen — creating the perfect heart-of-the-home gathering space. This is where memories are made: lazy Sunday mornings with coffee and pancakes, lively holiday dinners with extended family, cozy evenings reading by the fire while the kids play nearby, or spontaneous wine nights with neighbours who quickly become cherished friends. The open layout invites conversation, connection, and joy, with abundant natural light enhancing every moment and making the space feel even more expansive and welcoming.

The rare three-storey layout continues this gracious flow with exceptional proportions throughout. On the second floor, three well-appointed bedrooms include a serene south-facing balcony enveloped by the mature tree canopy — your private sanctuary for quiet mornings with a book or golden-hour unwinding. The third-floor primary suite offers a true retreat, complete with a dedicated lounge area ideal for relaxation, focused work, meditation, or personal wellness rituals.

The true showstopper downstairs is the fully finished, professionally dug and underpinned basement with a full kitchen, bathroom, and separate walk-up entrance. This versatile, self-contained suite is perfect for multigenerational living with grace and independence, a smart income opportunity, a home gym and entertainment lounge, or flexible space for guests and hobbies. Combined with the generous lot — framed by towering mature trees along the eastern boundary that deliver breathtaking privacy, shade, and seasonal beauty — the property is also ideally suited for potential laneway home development.

Laneway parking leads to a 1.5-car garage with legal capacity for two vehicles, adding effortless convenience to this already extraordinary offering.

Summerhill: Where Charm, Community, and Vitality Intertwine

Welcome to Summerhill — Toronto’s hidden gem where timeless elegance dances with urban vitality. Leafy streets lined with majestic Victorian and Edwardian homes create an intimate, storybook atmosphere reminiscent of Notting Hill, yet infused with authentic Toronto warmth. Named after the grand 1842 Regency cottage “Summer Hill,” the neighbourhood grew around the historic North Toronto railway station, now the iconic clock-towered LCBO. Today, the Summerhill TTC subway station offers seamless downtown access while you remain cocooned in peaceful residential beauty.

110 Cottingham Street sits in the ideal spot: east of Avenue Road, steps from Yonge Street’s energy, yet tucked away for ultimate privacy and calm. Wander to serene Robertson Davies Park, indulge at Scrivener Square and the Five Thieves, or let the kids burn energy at Pricefield Playground. Nature lovers rejoice with nearby David A. Balfour Park, Rosehill Reservoir Park (featuring waterfalls, reflecting pools, and trails into the lush Vale of Avoca Ravine), Lionel Conacher Park, and the scenic Beltline Trail.

This is a true Walker’s Paradise (high 90s Walk Score) — where life unfolds beautifully on foot.

Your Everyday Becomes Pure Magic

Picture your new rhythm in this special place:

• Mornings: Wake to birdsong and dappled light. Brew coffee on the balcony or by the fireplace as the kitchen comes alive with the promise of family breakfasts.
• Days: Work or create in sun-drenched spaces that inspire. Kids head to school just steps away while you explore ravine trails or neighbourhood boutiques.
• Evenings: Gather in the warm living room as the fireplace casts its golden glow. Share stories over dinner from the open kitchen, then step onto the porch to watch fireflies dance under the canopy.
• Weekends: Enjoy a soul-nourishing 3 km walk to Rosehill Reservoir Park, return refreshed, and settle into your private backyard or fireside haven.

Summerhill Market’s legendary chicken pot pie, fresh pastries, and truffle popcorn are just a short stroll away. The annual Cottingham Fun Fair in early June brings joyful neighbourhood energy that will make your heart swell.

A Neighbourhood Built for Every Chapter of Life

Summerhill welcomes kids, dogs, parents, and seniors in a multicultural, inclusive, and deeply connected community. Excellent schools are right at your doorstep:

• Trust Child Care on Birch Avenue
• Cottingham Junior Public School (JK-6) — literally steps away
• Deer Park Junior & Senior Public School

Low crime, high character, organic porch conversations, and a profound sense of belonging make this more than a place to live — it’s a place to truly thrive.

Seasons shine vividly here: spring cherry blossoms, lush summer canopy shade, fiery autumn colours, and cozy fireplace-lit winters.
