Address: 34 Collahie Street

The Place: An airy row house from the 1870s in the trendy neighbourhood near Dundas and Dufferin.

Bragging Rights: The backyard, though small, contains a mature blossoming cherry tree and cozy nooks ideal for summer cookouts. You’ll never have to lug blankets and beers to nearby Trinity Bellwoods again.

Big Selling Point: The current owners—who love the house but have outgrown it—put a ton of work into it, which means there won’t be a long list of maintenance issues to tackle after moving in.

Possible Deal Breaker: The cute attic, with its two sunlights and reclaimed oak flooring, can only be accessed by a ladder. Fun for the spry, but it may be a pain for those with less physical prowess.

• 138 years old
