Coming to MLS on November 2.
Send This Listing To A FriendThere’s plenty to fall for at 725 Rhodes Ave, starting with the welcoming front porch, beautiful stained glass, decorative fireplace, and glimpses of original brick. These details give a house its personality, and here they’ve been thoughtfully preserved alongside a remarkable interior transformation.
Behind the charming exterior, an extensive renovation has given this two-bedroom semi an entirely new chapter. A generous living room, crisp white kitchen with quartz countertops, and a sunny spot for morning coffee in the rear mudroom make the main floor feel comfortable and inviting. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with a separate shower and soaker tub offer room to settle in.
And this renovation goes beyond what meets the eye. A second-floor addition, structural improvements, new electrical and plumbing, and extensive permitted work have brought the home up to date while preserving its original character. Add a covered front porch, backyard, and laneway parking, and there’s a lot to look forward to.
Just steps from Monarch Park, Coxwell Station, and the cafés and restaurants of the Danforth, 725 Rhodes Ave puts so much of the neighbourhood within easy reach.
Coming soon, and well worth a closer look.
5 Things We Love
- A Bathroom That Doesn’t Make You Choose. A separate shower and a soaker tub? Yes, please. The spacious, renovated second-floor bathroom has room for both, so whether you’re rushing through your morning routine or taking your time with a long bath, you’ve got options. It’s a little luxury that makes a big difference.
- A Main Floor With Personality (and a Place for Everyone). The main floor feels lovely and cozy, with a central staircase that gives the dining and living rooms their own identities while keeping everything connected. The front dining room adds character with its decorative fireplace and stained-glass window, while the living room offers plenty of space to get comfortable. And we especially love the little room off the kitchen, with built-in storage for coats and shoes and space for the kids to sit and snack while dinner’s being made.
- Two Bedrooms That Don’t Feel Like an Afterthought. Both bedrooms are generously sized, giving you flexibility without squeezing furniture into awkward corners. The primary bedroom sits at the back of the house, with good storage and a view of Robertson Parkette. The second bedroom is at the front and has enough space to work as a proper bedroom, guest room, or home office.
- Having your own parking spot is a pretty great perk. Here, the rear laneway parking area can accommodate one car and a motorcycle, or potentially two small cars, depending on their size. With direct backyard access, it’s a practical feature you’ll appreciate every time you come home.
- A Neighbourhood That Makes It Easy to Get Out and About. Monarch Park is practically at your doorstep, with an outdoor pool for summer, an ice rink for winter, an off-leash dog park, and Monarch Park Stadium. Robertson Parkette is a minute away, and the Danforth and Coxwell Subway Station are a 5-minute walk from the front door. Add nearby restaurants and cafés, plus a library, Shoppers, LifeLabs, and medical clinics within a five-minute walk, and you’ve got a neighbourhood where everything you need is close at hand. Michael Garron Hospital is nearby, too.
About Greenwood-Coxwell
Greenwood-Coxwell is one of those east-end neighbourhoods that gets more interesting the more time you spend here. Something is always happening, the food options are ridiculously good, and a real mix of people, cultures, and businesses gives the area its personality. It’s walkable, wonderfully eclectic, and full of places locals have been going to for years, alongside newer spots quickly becoming neighbourhood favourites.
The Danforth is a big part of what gives Greenwood-Coxwell its personality. Around Coxwell and Greenwood, you’ll find an eclectic mix of independent restaurants, neighbourhood cafés, bars, and shops, with plenty of reasons to stop in rather than just pass through. It’s the kind of stretch where you can grab a coffee, browse a few storefronts, meet friends for dinner, or discover something new on a walk through the neighbourhood. And with Coxwell and Greenwood subway stations right along the Danforth, getting around the city couldn’t be much easier.
The food scene is especially good. The Wren is a neighbourhood favourite for craft beer and comfort food, while The Wood Owl is a cozy spot for a more intimate dinner. There’s also a great selection of Ethiopian restaurants, adding to the variety of cuisines along this part of the Danforth. Independent coffee shops and casual eateries keep things lively throughout the day, and the mix of laid-back local spots and destination restaurants means you don’t have to go far to find somewhere worth eating. It’s a neighbourhood where having a favourite local place comes naturally, but there’s always something else to try.
Monarch Park is a neighbourhood favourite, with plenty of reasons to visit year-round. There’s an outdoor swimming pool for hot summer days, an ice rink in winter, an off-leash dog park, and Monarch Park Stadium for sports and recreation. Greenwood Park is another popular spot, with its seasonal farmers’ market, skating rink and trail, outdoor pool, and baseball diamonds. Fairmount Park adds even more options, including two ball diamonds, a multipurpose sports field, five outdoor tennis courts, a wading pool, a children’s playground, and a natural ice rink in winter.
But what really makes Greenwood-Coxwell feel like Greenwood-Coxwell is the everyday mix of it all. Residential streets, independent businesses, longtime neighbourhood institutions, different cultures, and familiar faces at local cafés all contribute to a place that feels lived-in and well-established. History is here, and it’s still part of daily life.
It’s the kind of neighbourhood where favourite spots become regular routines, there’s always another restaurant to try, and a walk along Gerrard rarely feels boring. For people who love Toronto’s east end for its diversity, great food, independent businesses and strong neighbourhood character, Greenwood-Coxwell has plenty to love.
