These Toronto rowhouses are over 130 years old and were home to Roy Thomson. Now, a unit listed for $1.7 million

Toronto’s storied history may be slowly turning into storeys of condo units, but not for the row houses on Monteith St.in The Village sits near homes previously occupied by notable figures — including Roy Thomson who used to live at 32 Monteith.

“You really have this moment where you don’t feel like you’re in downtown Toronto,” selling agent Devin Glowinski with Forest Hill Real Estate Inc. said of the unit that overlooks Barbara Hall Park and the Toronto Aids Memorial. “The house feels very tranquil,” in part, due to its rich history, but also the finishings inside, he adds.

The home also features two patios, a kitchen adjacent to the rooftop deck, perfect for hosting barbecues, along with two other kitchens in the basement and on the main floor, giving it a “stately” feel, Glowinski says. “The market is saturated with highrise condos and there are limited opportunities to own well-built character homes,” he said, referencing the influx of condo buildings downtown in recent decades.David Sussman, a realtor and TREB member, also said the listing price is in line with what similar units sold for recently, including six-bedroom, three-bathroom unit in the Church-Yonge Corridor that salso sold for $1.4 million in January.
