Bungalows For Sale in Princess-Rosethorn

The area is known for 1950s ranch-style bungalows on wide, deep lots with mature trees, which feel more spacious than most postwar housing in the city. Many have been renovated or replaced with larger homes, so listings range from original condition to new construction, and comparing recent sold prices by condition is essential.

It often does, because large mature trees define these streets. Under Toronto’s private tree bylaw, removing or injuring a tree of 30 centimetres or more in diameter generally requires a permit, which can affect where an addition or garage goes. Get an arborist’s opinion early if you plan to build, as many buyers in Edenbridge-Humber Valley do.

Wide lots give both options real appeal. Renovating keeps the original footprint and avoids a long approval process, while rebuilding may need minor variances from the Committee of Adjustment. Get a contractor’s estimate and look at what renovated bungalows and new homes in nearby Eringate-Centennial-West Deane have sold for before committing.

Buses run to Islington and Kipling stations on Line 2, and Kipling also connects to the Milton GO line. Highway 427 and the Gardiner are close for drivers, and Eglinton Avenue offers a route east across the city. Commutes are similar to those from Willowridge-Martingrove-Richview just to the north.
