Charming Detached Home in the Heart of Bickford Park. Welcome to 879 Shaw St a rare fully detached two-storey home offering the perfect blend of modern upgrades, income potential, and unbeatable location. Featuring a beautifully maintained main floor with Samsung appliances (2018), custom quartz countertops, and built-in shelving around an antique fireplace, this home is move-in ready. Enjoy west-facing sunlight on the cedar front porch from early spring to late fall. The legal basement apartment was professionally underpinned and waterproofed by Draincom (2010) and features resilient soundproofing, custom finishes, a fire escape window, and eat-in kitchen ideal for rental income or multigenerational living. Key mechanicals include an oversized water heater, a powerful new 2.5-ton Lennox A/C (2024), and a high efficiency furnace. Upstairs, the back bedroom opens to a balcony with spectacular downtown skyline views and easy potential for a 3-piece ensuite. Outside, find a paved laneway parking pad (2022) with 2 large spots, water access, and a dedicated circuit ready for EV charging. The backyard connects directly to a brand-new elementary school (opening Sept 2025), with laneway access to Fiesta Farms, Christie Pits, and four schools all without crossing a main street. Walk to both Christie and Ossington subway stations in minutes. A truly unique home with thoughtful upgrades in a vibrant, family-friendly neighbourhood.
