House of the Week: $1.3 million for a family home (with income property potential) in Bloor West Village

BRAGGING RIGHTS: You’re steps away from the chi-chi enclave of Baby Point, but if fancy houses don’t impress you much, the Humber River and Etienne Brulé Park are also just a few streets over.

BIG SELLING POINT: Flexibility. The primary living areas are located on the second and third floors, which means that, though the home is currently set up as a single-family dwelling, the main floor and basement could be converted to a second unit with little fuss.

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Open-plan living spaces are all the rage, but they’re not always ideal. For instance, when you’re not getting along with your partner, you might want a private space to retreat to (or a door to slam to make your point).

BY THE NUMBERS: • $1,279,900 • 2,800 square feet • 1,000-square-foot entertaining area • 6-inch engineered oak plank floors • 5 bedrooms • 4 bathrooms • 3 storeys • 1 gas fireplace
