85 Walmer Road: fourplex for sale
$2,199,000
From the listing brokerage
A five-unit Annex Semi Detached property with the kind of envelope and location that is not being built at today's replacement cost. Legal four-plex above grade plus a legal non-conforming lower suite across 5,225+ sq.ft. on Walmer Road, one of the most tenured income streets in central Toronto. In-place rents sit well below current Annex benchmarks. Income reflects long-tenured tenancies rather than today's market. The unit mix is differentiated - not five interchangeable bachelors. Unit 2 on the main floor is a 1,396 sq.ft. parlour-floor residence with a 21-foot living room, fireplace, oversized kitchen, and a 17-foot principal bedroom. Unit 5 on the third floor (1,171 sq.ft.) is configured with two kitchens, two four-piece baths, two primary bedrooms, an office, and a dining room - lives as one generous suite today. Unit 4 (758 sq.ft.) has a four-piece ensuite, walk-in closet, and living space. Unit 3 (710 sq.ft.) is a full one-bedroom with fireplace, kitchen, and dining. Unit 1 in the lower level (1,191 sq.ft., legal non-conforming) reads as a proper apartment: one-bedroom plus 15-foot den, full kitchen, three-piece bath, and private utility room. Three distinct buyer paths converge here. For the investor, five legal income streams on a single folio, a demand floor set by U of T, downtown professionals, and the Dupont / Spadina subway corridor. For the owner-investor - Multiple units are suitable and are amongst the most substantial owner's suites found inside a purpose-built Annex income property; live in it and let the other four units carry the debt while optionality is preserved. For the long-view buyer planning a single-family reversion - 5,225+ sq. ft. of interior envelope is a credible footprint for a top-of-market Annex restoration, and the existing plumbing stacks, kitchens, and floor plates make either path possible without starting from zero. Walking distance to Bloor Street, Casa Loma, the University of Toronto, and the Spadina subway line.

What it costs to buy 85 Walmer Road
At the asking price of $2,199,000, a buyer pays two land transfer taxes on closing: the Ontario tax and the City of Toronto's municipal tax. Both apply to every home inside the City.
| Asking price | $2,199,000 |
|---|---|
| Ontario land transfer tax | $41,450 |
| Toronto municipal land transfer tax | $41,450 |
| Both taxes | $82,900 |
| First-time buyer relief, if you qualify | up to $8,475 |
| Minimum down payment | $439,800 |
The down payment figure is the federal minimum: 20 percent, because a home at $1.5 million or more cannot carry mortgage default insurance. A lender can ask for more. These figures use the asking price, so they change if you pay more or less. The rates above $2,000,000 used here are the ones for a home with one or two single family residences. A property with more units is taxed differently. Legal fees, title insurance and adjustments are extra: ask your lawyer for a written quote. This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Confirm the figures with a lawyer or accountant. You can change the price in our land transfer tax calculator and our mortgage calculator.
What it costs to own each month
| Property tax (2026) | $12,556 a year, about $1,046 a month |
|---|
That is before a mortgage payment, home insurance and utilities. The listing shows no monthly maintenance fee, so upkeep of the building and the lot is the owner's own cost.
What to check before you make an offer
- Book a home inspection. An inspector looks at the roof, foundation, wiring, plumbing and heating. The listing gives the heating as radiant.
- Have a lawyer search the title. A title search shows mortgages, liens and easements registered against the property. Ask whether a survey exists and whether it matches the lot on the listing, 29.83 by 127.67 feet.
- Ask about permits. Ask which renovations had building permits and whether those permits were closed. The listing shows 6 kitchens. If there is a second unit, ask whether it meets the municipality's rules for one.
- Confirm what is included. Appliances, light fixtures and window coverings are included only if the agreement says so. Ask whether the water heater or furnace is rented.
- Get your financing in writing. A lender looks at the property tax and heating costs as well as the price.
- See it in person. Photos do not show noise, light at different hours or the state of the street and the homes beside it.
Our first-time home buyer guide and our page for buyers walk through each step. This is general information, not legal advice. Confirm the details with a lawyer.
