230 Shaw Street

About this property

Where Character Lives! A rare opportunity to live in a home that feels quietly exceptional. 230 Shaw Street is a 1907 residence defined by ready-to-enjoy, preserved character, real function, and a level of space that is increasingly rare in Toronto. Set on a 19 x 121.5 ft lot with a fully enclosed backyard and a detached two-car garage with laneway house potential, it delivers scale, privacy, and everyday livability in one of the city's most sought-after pockets. The home functions as fully detached with only the south wall abutting and no shared connections, offering a true sense of separation that a typical semi-detached home does not offer. The layout has multiple well-proportioned and usable spaces, including 3 separate den-style rooms offering flexibility that supports modern living without compromise. Natural light, good ceiling height, and original detail carry through the home. Key infrastructure updates are already complete, including a new flat roof (2025), updated electrical with 200 amp service, plumbing to the street, refreshed finishes throughout, and overall care that allows the home to be enjoyed immediately. It also offers a clear and realistic path for thoughtful updates over time, which is a hard balance to find. Located south of Dundas and north of Queen, and positioned at the edge of Trinity Bellwoods, the home is central within one of Toronto's most vibrant community hubs. With a 99 Walk Score, 92 Bike Score, and 88 Transit Score, the entire city is within easy reach including coffee shops, restaurants, nightlife, boutique shopping, markets, and everyday essentials, along with quick access to parks and green space that balance the energy of downtown living. This is the kind of home that doesn't come around often - come see for yourself! Public Open House Thursday, May 7th from 5-7pm, Saturday, May 9th and Sunday May 10th from 2-4pm.
