One-Bedroom Houses Across Toronto: Space vs. Functionality | Pick 5 Edition

February 19, 2026

In this week’s Pick 5, we’re looking at one-bedroom houses across Toronto from Danforth bungalows to Queen Street Victorian duplexes. David compares layout, lot size, parking, basement income potential, and overall functionality to answer the big question: is one bedroom enough?

Whether you’re a first-time buyer, downsizer, or investor, this episode breaks down the pros, cons, and market reality of Toronto’s smallest detached homes.

This week’s picks:

  • 02:03 – 21 Sutherland Ave: Detached 25×115 ft bungalow listed at $795K with a basement apartment. Compact main floor living with income potential, but true one-bedroom functionality
  • 05:13 – 9 Kenworthy Ave: Renovated 1+1 bungalow at $898K with a more open-concept layout and modern finishes as well as a potential rental basement
  • 08:24 – 119 De Grassi St: 12.5 ft wide Victorian duplex near Queen Street listed at $999K. Ultra-urban living with rental flexibility but tight above-grade space
  • 12:03 – 423 Barclay St: 44×139 ft lot at $1.23M with a fully reimagined oversized main floor. Massive entertaining space but only one above-grade bedroom
  • 14:39 – 215 Pickering St: Unique bunga-loft in an Upper Beaches pocket with vaulted ceilings and serious character. Technically a “zero-bedroom” by MLS definition, but the coolest layout of the bunch
