A Toronto home nearly doubled in price after a major glow-up

In 2021, 268 Euclid Ave. was a typical red brick triplex in the heart of Toronto's Trinity Bellwoods neighbourhood. 

It had popcorn ceilings, baseboard heating, grey vinyl plank flooring in the basement, and appliances that defy their typical lifespan. 

It sold for $2 million after only five days on the market. It was only four years ago, but it was a very different time for Toronto housing demand. 

The front entrance. 

But in the four years since, 268 Euclid Ave. got a major glow-up.

The main floor with a small powder room tucked away. 

The house was fully rebuilt in 2021. The outside went from 70s red brick to a chic black and white facade, while the inside went from dated triplex to a modern single-family home. 

The living room, dining room and kitchen. 

Now, as you walk into the house, you're greeted by a bright, open concept layout with big windows and white oak floors.

The kitchen with a large island. 

The kitchen is a bit of a departure from the light and bright with dark stone counters and backsplash. 

Custom cabinets in the kitchen. 

But the custom millwork, built-in appliances, and integrated lighting keep things sleek. 

A bedroom. 

268 Euclid Ave. boasts four bedrooms and five bathrooms. 

The primary ensuite. 

The primary suite features heated floors, a spa-like shower with a skylight and a balcony with views of the CN Tower. 

The lower level recreation room. 

There's more room downstairs with a large recreation room, an extra bedroom, and laundry. 

Views of the CN Tower from the primary bedroom balcony. 

The home also now has tons of comfort features built into it.

The primary bedroom. 

For example, the listing mentions a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) system that brings in clean air, an EV-ready garage, electric blinds on solar timers, and motion-activated lighting. 

The backyard. 

But perhaps the most improved part of 268 Euclid Ave. is the backyard. 

The hot tub. 

There is a seven-person hot tub, a natural gas fire bowl, an outdoor rain shower, a barrel cedar sauna, and a cold plunge tub. It's basically a spa in your backyard. 

A home office. 

Now, 268 Euclid Ave. is listed for $3,918,000, nearly double what it sold for in 2021.

A sitting area and a double-car garage. 

And even though that seems audacious, it's actually pretty on par for the area, which saw property values go up a staggering 44 per cent since 2021.
