Some houses tell you exactly what they are. This one asks what you want it to become. Set in one of Toronto's trendiest neighbourhoods, this detached wood-frame home with vinyl siding and brick at the front and rear kitchen addition offers flexibility, character and future potential. A 3-foot side walkway provides convenient access between the front and rear, while the multi-level layout gives renovators, investors and end users plenty to work with.Keep and improve the character, create a spectacular single-family home, or explore additional living space and income opportunities, subject to applicable approvals. A separate basement entrance and flexible floor plan add possibilities. Original oak floors, a bay window and French doors bring character, while important updates include a high-efficiency furnace (2019), copper water lines, updated electrical and panels, and an owned hot water heater. The sloped house and garage roofs and flat roof over the kitchen addition were replaced approx. 10 years ago. Permits are available for the garage, veranda and kitchen addition. At the rear, a patio and garden provide outdoor space, while double laneway access leads to a large detached 2.5-car garage. The laneway may also offer future laneway suite potential, subject to City approvals. Upstairs, the third-floor loft with cathedral ceilings delivers a pretty great Toronto party trick: unobstructed CN Tower views from the front. Ossington is often described as Toronto's answer to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and has earned recognition as one of the world's trendiest neighbourhoods. Trinity Bellwoods, Little Italy, Little Portugal and Beaconsfield Village surround you, with restaurants, cafés, shops, parks, schools, transit, art and nightlife nearby. Live in it. Renovate it. Reimagine it. Whatever the plan, detached homes with this much flexibility, double laneway access and a large garage in this location don't come along often.

School boundaries this address is inside
Where these boundaries come from, and what they are worth
A school boundary is the area a board draws around a school. An address inside several of them is normal — boards publish a separate boundary per program, so regular track, French immersion and specialist programs each have their own.
Toronto. Read from the TDSB’s own School Search Map, one school at a time. The board states that the lines on that map are approximate and that the schools serving an individual address must be confirmed against its own address lookup — so the outline here shows you roughly where a boundary runs, and the board answers whether a particular house is in it. The map covers home schools only: French Immersion, gifted and the other optional programs have their own boundaries and their own admission rules, and are not shown.
Homula cannot tell you which school a child will attend. Boards move boundaries, hold students at capacity, cap programs and grant exceptions, and none of that is in any published file. The board is the only authority: TDSB Find Your School.
Sources: TDSB School Search Map — the board states these lines are approximate and that individual addresses must be confirmed against its own lookup.

How the rating is calculated
EQAO — Ontario’s testing agency — publishes, for each school, the percentage of students meeting the provincial standard in Grade 3 and Grade 6 reading, writing and mathematics. The rating is the average of those percentages divided by ten. A school where 72% of students met the standard rates 7.2 out of 10.
Nothing is weighted or adjusted, and schools are not ranked against each other. Where EQAO withholds a result to protect the privacy of a small group of students, that measure is left out rather than counted as zero — so a rating built on fewer than six measures says so.
What it does not measure. It is one year of standardised testing in three subjects. It says nothing about teaching, programs, or whether a school suits a particular child, and it tracks neighbourhood household income closely enough that it partly measures the neighbourhood rather than the school. Treat it as one figure among many.

H-Value
What an H-Value is and how it is calculated — the method and our measured error, no account needed.
The market around this home
Detached houses in Toronto C01 — 116 sales over the last five years. Too few sold in this community to chart it on its own, so this is the whole city.
How these are built, and what they cannot tell you
Each point is the median of the sales that closed in that quarter among detached houses in toronto c01. A quarter with fewer than eight is left out rather than drawn, and the line breaks where that happens — a median over three sales is really one home’s price, and joining across a gap would draw a number nobody measured.
This is not an estimate of what this home is worth. The segment is a property type in an area; it takes no account of this home’s size, condition, renovations, lot, exposure or how it compares to its neighbours, and half the homes in any quarter sold for more than the median and half for less. It is context for a conversation with an agent, not a valuation.

If you rented it out
How this is calculated, and what it leaves out
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly, so the monthly rate here is (1 + rate/2)1/6 − 1. Most calculators use rate ÷ 12, which is the American convention and overstates the payment by tens of dollars a month.
Below 20% down, default insurance is mandatory and is added to the loan rather than paid at closing: 2.80% at 85% loan-to-value, 3.10% at 90%, 4.00% at 95%. It is unavailable at or above $1.5M, which is why 20% is a hard floor there.
Not included: vacancy, property management, capital repairs, income tax, and the fact that a lender qualifies you at a stress-test rate rather than the one you are quoted. This is arithmetic on the numbers above, not a mortgage approval or an opinion of what you can afford.

City planning file →What these are
These are applications made to the City — a proposal to build something, not a decision that it will be built. Many are refused, withdrawn, reduced, or approved and then left for years. The status shown is the one the City last recorded, and each entry links to the City’s own file, which is the authoritative record.
Whether a nearby development is welcome depends on what you want from a street, so this panel reports what has been applied for and leaves the judgement to you.
