Our typical listing spotlight features the standard bells and whistles, including savvy staging. But sometimes, all it takes to make the eyes (and heart) linger is a bare-bones set of photos and a strong foundation.
This is the case with 13 Euclid Avenue. Tucked north of Queen, just around the corner from Trinity Bellwoods Park, this duplex — asking $999,700 — hits the market with its upper levels presenting as a clean state. With no staging, renderings, or AI imaginings (phew), the home can’t hide.
But with quality craftsmanship, that's not a problem.
Across 2.5 storeys, multiple elements feel (and may just be) straight from a past era. On arrival, you’re met by original hardwood flooring, which continues to make appearances across other areas of the home (including the top-floor bedroom — more on that shortly).
Original millwork, detailed plaster ceilings that soar to generous heights, and large windows that fill the space with natural light all bring a special type of character that’s difficult to emulate in a new build.

The address is a working duplex; the lower unit — complete with its own kitchen and walkout to the backyard — is home to a tenant who, according to the listing, is happy to stay in place.
Make no mistake: there’s room for renovation and upgrades here, too. Whether it’s transforming the upper kitchen into an eat-in paradise, or combining landscaping with outdoor furniture to create a private backyard sanctuary, your imagination is the limit. But please, buyer-to-be — leave the blue bathroom tile intact.

Our Favourite Thing
We've already given the bathroom tile its flowers, so here we'll celebrate the main top-level bedroom. Spanning some half of the home's top floor, this room features hardwood planks that are wider than elsewhere in the home — and we're swooning over them. Pair that floor with the uniquely angular ceiling, a skylight, and the quirky shelf built into the wall, and you have the perfect place to design a primary-bedroom sanctuary. That, or a reading nook for the ages.

This address also comes complete with a detached garage off the laneway, a rare find for the area.
And speaking of the neighbourhood: beyond the craftsmanship, a key part of this home’s charm is its location — literal steps from the Queen West strip, calling 13 Euclid home would mean coffee at White Squirrel followed by a walk in the park as a daily routine. Sud Forno sandwiches would probably beckon most days, too. But we wouldn’t mind.
