Welcome to 26 Main Street, where an extraordinary 216 foot deep lot backing onto a spectacular ravine setting completely redefines what it means to own a home in Toronto. Tucked away against a picturesque natural backdrop with sweeping views toward the Toronto skyline, this one-of-a-kind property offers an outdoor experience that is almost impossible to find in the city. More than just a backyard, this is your own private retreat — a place where morning coffee comes with birdsong, where kids have endless room to explore, and where evenings are spent entertaining against one of the most peaceful settings you'll find anywhere in the city.

Thoughtfully transformed in 2025, the impressive outdoor living space blends beautifully into the surrounding landscape with expansive stone patios, striking retaining walls, a composite deck with sleek glass railings, and multiple spaces to gather, dine, and unwind. Beyond the landscaped entertaining areas, the property continues into an expansive stretch of lush green space, offering endless possibilities for gardens, play, or simply enjoying the rare luxury of having room to breathe in the heart of Toronto.

Inside, the home is equally impressive. At 23.5 feet wide, this beautifully renovated semi-detached home lives much larger than most, with an airy, open feel that rivals many detached properties. Extensively updated over the years including a complete electrical overhaul, newer windows and roof, upgraded insulation, and a thoughtfully redesigned main floor with an open-concept layout — the home offers an exceptional balance of timeless character, modern style, and everyday peace of mind.

The stunning kitchen anchors the main floor with quality finishes, generous prep space, and an ideal layout for both everyday living and entertaining. Bright, open principal rooms flow effortlessly together while framing beautiful views of the ravine beyond, creating a home that feels warm, welcoming, and connected to nature.

Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and a beautifully renovated bathroom designed with timeless finishes and modern functionality. The finished lower level offers outstanding flexibility with a spacious recreation room perfect for movie nights, a children's playroom, home gym, or office, while extensive renovations have created a space that's as comfortable as it is functional, complete with excellent storage throughout. There is another washroom on this level for additional convenience.

Front pad parking provides valuable everyday convenience, while the location is second to none. Beautifully renovated, exceptionally located, and defined by one of the city's most remarkable ravine settings, 26 Main Street offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and lifestyle that's seldom available in Toronto. This is more than a home — it's an opportunity to enjoy a setting that few properties can offer and one you'll appreciate every single day.
