Unlock the Potential at 116 Borden Street

Welcome to 116 Borden Street, a rare gem in the heart of Harbord Village—one of Toronto’s most cherished downtown neighbourhoods. This charming bungalow sits on a deep, laneway-accessible lot that presents an exciting canvas for redevelopment, investment, or multi-generational living.

The existing home features hardwood floors on the main level, a functional layout, and a walkout to a private backyard retreat. The basement offers exceptional flexibility, with a separate front entrance and a second walkout to the backyard—making it ideal for conversion into a self-contained rental suite or in-law apartment. At the rear of the property, you’ll find a detached two-car garage accessible via Croft Street, providing both convenience and development value.

What truly sets this property apart is its incredible redevelopment potential. A recent planning report confirms:

• The lot qualifies for a full laneway house build (approx. 1,115 sq ft over two storeys, plus optional garage) under Toronto’s “Changing Lanes” program—no Committee of Adjustment approval needed.
• The depth and configuration of the lot allow for flexible parking options, even with a laneway home.
• There is potential to sever the lot and build a second home fronting Croft Street, as has been done with several neighbouring properties—an exceptional opportunity for those looking to maximize value.
