A Georgian-style live-work townhouse steps from Yonge Street, this space can be outfitted in all manner of residential and commercial layouts. Each of its three floors can accommodate two bedrooms and come with a bathroom, a powder room, oak floors and plenty of large windows. There’s also a kitchenette in the basement.

The foyer leads to an open-concept front room that’s ideal for commercial purposes, having served as a lawyer’s office before the current owners renovated it.

The third floor has been designed as a loft, so future residents may want to transform it into their main suite.
