Exceptional LYTTON PARK / Yonge & Eglinton Investment Opportunity - Two Lots, Endless Potential! Rarely does an opportunity like this come along in the highly sought-after neighbourhood. Presenting 159 & 163 Briar Hill Avenue, two adjoining semi-detached properties offered together, featuring a combined 46 x 131.50 ft lot on the south side of the street.

At 163, the thoughtfully mirrored layout includes a 590 sq. ft. one-bed, one bath apartment and a 1,370 sq. ft. two-bed, one-bath upper-level suite, also featuring its own rooftop deck. All four units have been fully renovated, offering modern, move-in-ready accommodations and an attractive income-producing asset. Additional features include an outdoor kitchen, ensuite laundry in the two upper units and shared lower level laundry for the main floor units & convenient rear parking for up to four vehicles. Ideally positioned in one of Toronto's most desirable and established neighbourhoods, close to all the conveniences of Yonge & Eglinton including transit, shops, restaurants and everyday amenities plus fabulous public & private schools (zoned for Allenby PS). Whether held as a lucrative long-term investment or explored for future redevelopment potential, this is a rare opportunity to secure two adjoining properties with exceptional flexibility and upside in a premier Toronto location.
