44 Russell St is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom semi-detached house in University, Toronto, listed for sale at an asking price of $1,699,000 (MLS® C14082704).

Beautifully renovated and architecturally reimagined, this Harbord Village Victorian seamlessly blends historic character with striking contemporary design. The restored façade opens to thoughtfully curated interiors, where high ceilings and warm hardwood floors create a timeless backdrop. At the heart of the home, a magazine-worthy Bulthaup kitchen features high end European appliances, an induction cooktop, a generous centre island, heated floors, and expansive floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry. A dramatic wall of glass frames the private garden retreat, while a main floor powder room adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, the bright primary bedroom features plenty of closet space, while two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests or a home office. A newly renovated bathroom completes the upper level, while private two-car parking off the lane offers a welcome urban luxury. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, the home is just moments from Harbord Village's beloved cafés, restaurants, independent shops and galleries. Kensington Market, Yorkville, the University of Toronto, Queen's Park, major hospitals, transit and excellent schools, including Lord Lansdowne French Immersion, are all close at hand. An exceptional opportunity to own a distinctive Victorian in one of Toronto's most cherished neighbourhoods.
