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.

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.
