173 High Park Ave

Executive Living on One of High Park’s Most Coveted Streets

One of the most exclusive streets in the High Park area, High Park Avenue truly stands apart. This exceptional home perfectly blends timeless old-world character with the modern space and functionality of a substantial rear addition—creating the best of both worlds for today’s family.

Step inside and you’re immediately welcomed by the warmth and sophistication of the home’s original character. Beautiful wood details lead you through the formal living and dining rooms and into an expansive rear family room, thoughtfully designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining.

The layout is as practical as it is impressive. An elevated eat-in breakfast area surrounded by windows brings in an abundance of natural light, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee or casual family meals. The recently renovated kitchen offers an abundance of cabinetry and storage, along with a clever separate prep/working area tucked away from guests. Cook up a storm, close the door on the mess and enjoy a glass of wine with friends—the perfect setup for entertaining.

And then there’s the space. Two, three or even four children? No problem. The upper two floors have been designed with a growing family in mind, offering bedrooms and flexible spaces that can evolve as your needs change. Have a smaller family? Even better—the additional rooms make wonderful home offices, guest bedrooms, playrooms or creative spaces. The possibilities are endless.

When it’s time to escape, retreat to your private primary suite, a true sanctuary complete with a cozy fireplace, walk-in closet, built-in makeup station and luxurious spa-inspired bathroom. This is executive living at its finest.

Multiple bathrooms throughout the home add convenience, while the top-level room offers an abundance of natural light and endless potential as a home office, studio, reading room or private retreat.

The finished basement adds another incredible layer of versatility. With its separate side entrance, kitchen, three-piece bathroom and generous living space, it is ready to become an in-law or nanny suite, additional family space, a fantastic kids’ zone or potentially an income-generating area.

The detached garage provides even more flexibility—ideal for storage, a workshop or perhaps the opportunity to create a future garden suite.

Outside, the deep lot offers plenty of room for kids to play, gardens to grow and summer BBQs to unfold. But perhaps my favourite feature is the ginormous west-facing front porch, beautifully framed by stone and perfectly positioned to enjoy a glass of wine, watch the sunset and take in the rhythm of this wonderful neighbourhood.

And the list goes on.
