Rental of the Week: $2,700 per month to live in a converted garage in Little Portugal

Address: 18 Beaconsfield Avenue, Unit A Neighbourhood: Little Portugal Agent: Devon Hicks, Keller Williams Referred Urban Realty, North Group Real Estate, Brokerage Price: $2,700 per month

The place

A one-bedroom suite in a former garage in the backyard of a Little Portugal home.

The history

The owners bought the century-old house at the front of this property in 1980. About 10 years ago, they began gradually renovating the rear detached garage into a residence.

Here’s the living area. The floors are stamped concrete:

Major perks

The suite is in the landlords’ backyard, so help with emergency repairs is never far away. Tenants get access to a slice of the back patio, with a screen so they can have some privacy.
