253 McRoberts Avenue

Welcome to 253 McRoberts

This isn’t your grandma’s semi—unless grandma was a Pinterest queen with a power drill and a thing for clean lines. Welcome to 253 McRoberts Ave, where quiet charm and thoughtful design live side by side in the heart of Corso Italia.

From the street, it’s the kind of home that feels like a memory in the making—red brick, a tidy porch, and the sense that real life happens here. Step inside and everything brightens. The main floor unfolds in soft light, with updated hardwood floors, modern pot lights, and a kitchen that knows how to multitask—warm, functional, and effortlessly stylish.

Upstairs, three serene bedrooms invite you to rest, work, or dream, while a gently refreshed bathroom keeps things simple and just-so.

Downstairs, things get flexible. A separate entrance leads to a fully contained one-bedroom apartment, complete with its own kitchen, laundry, and bath. Whether you’re welcoming loved ones, unlocking rental income, or laying groundwork for the future, it’s space that answers more than one question.

Out back, a private yard waits quietly—big enough for barefoot dinners under the string lights, small enough to manage without losing weekends. Let the dog run while the coffee brews, then settle in with the morning light. A laneway-access garage rounds it out—the kind of Toronto rarity that makes city life click.

And the neighbourhood? It wraps around you like a well-worn sweater. A few blocks to Earlscourt Park with its fields, splash pad, and quiet corners. A morning walk to Tre Mari Bakery, where the smell of bread tells you everything’s alright. The Joseph J. Piccininni Centre brings indoor swim sessions and community buzz, while the St. Clair West streetcar, gliding in its own dedicated lane, links you to the subway and the city beyond.

No flash. No fluff. Just a solid, soulful home in a neighbourhood that still knows your name.
