Toronto home with attached two-storey apartment selling for under $1 million

If you've been house-hunting in Toronto — specifically in Scarborough — you probably know the drill: bungalows, split-levels, and the usual suburban cookie-cutter new builds.

But every so often, a listing comes along that doesn't just break the mould — it smashes it.

That's exactly 544 Bellamy Rd. N does. The historic 2 ½-storey home that stands out from its neighbours in more ways than one.

An aerial view of the house and surrounding neighbourhood. 

For starters, it bears zero resemblance to the post-war bungalows that are abundant throughout this area. 

The dining room with beadboard trim. 

But more interestingly, it's also priced lower than most of the homes in this area, listed at $928,800 after a recent drop from just under a million.

The living room. 

Inside, the home checks a lot of the boxes you'd expect from a century-old property.

The kitchen. 

The home at 544 Bellamy Rd. N boasts four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and some original wood trim that still holds onto its charm.

The backyard. 

The backyard is spacious and private, thanks to the lush greenery.

A bedroom. 

But let's be real — this place is due for a serious refresh.

Another bedroom. 

We're talking faded wallpaper, a lime green bathroom, and a generally dated aesthetic.

One of the bathrooms. 

One wouldn't be surprised if there were also some mechanical updates needed, like plumbing, electrical or air conditioning. 

The primary bedroom. 

Still, the general bones seem solid, and the potential is limitless.

The kitchen in the apartment. 

Especially because tucked onto the side is a two-storey accessory apartment that's fully attached yet completely independent.

The living room in the apartment. 

Yes, that means an entire extra two floors of living space, complete with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom, and den — the kind of privacy and flexibility most Toronto buyers only dream about.

A bedroom. 

Multi-generational living? Rental income? An artist's retreat? You've got options.

The backyard and entrance to the apartment. 

Sure, the apartment needs love, too. But with the right vision (and a healthy reno budget), 544 Bellamy Rd. N could easily transform into one of the most unique and versatile homes in Scarborough.
