220 Wright Ave

Originally built as the United Church manse, this distinguished Edwardian residence is a rare landmark at the centre of the neighbourhood. It offers a level of character and history that cannot be replicated. Once a place of gathering and celebration, it remains the home around which the community first took shape.

This detached three-storey property features 5+1 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, combining timeless architecture with thoughtful modern upgrades. Original details such as wainscoting, hardwood floors, and stained and leaded glass windows have been carefully preserved, while updated windows enhance comfort. The updated kitchen includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and ample workspace, ideal for everyday living and entertaining.

On the second floor are two generously sized bedrooms, each with walk-in closets and private ensuites. The primary suite also includes a separate sitting room, creating a quiet and inviting retreat. The third floor offers three additional bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom, well suited for family, guests, or workspace needs.

South-facing bay windows in the living room and primary suite bring in abundant natural light. The finished basement adds valuable living and recreation space. A rare private driveway fits up to three vehicles and includes a high-voltage outlet for EV charging. Outside, the landscaped backyard with irrigation provides a peaceful urban setting.

Just steps from Roncesvalles Village, this home is located in one of Toronto’s most vibrant west-end communities, known for its independent shops, cafés, and excellent dining. Residents enjoy the annual street festival and close proximity to the library, High Park, Sorauren Park, the Boulevard Club, and the lake. The property is within a desirable school catchment and walking distance to a French school, with easy access to streetcars and the subway.

A truly unique home, rich in history and integral to the neighbourhood’s story.
