There are many options for multiplex housing in Toronto, but they rarely come with commercial-residential zoning.

And even rarer still, do they look as cool as 1402 Dundas St. W.

All that is to say, when the listing agent writes that 1402 Dundas St. W is "a real estate unicorn," they're dead on the money. 

One of the duplex units looking into the dining room. 

1402 Dundas St. W is a fully detached, brick Edwardian duplex on a large 35-by-159-foot lot with private parking for at least three cars. 

The living room with a bay window. 

Currently, the duplex is set up to have two large two-bedroom, one-bathroom, plus den units. 

One of the kitchens with custom cabinetry. 

Each unit is filled with character. 

The dining room and kitchen with exposed beams and brick. 

Inside, you'll find exposed brick, exposed beams, soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors and fireplaces. 

The other unit with exposed stud walls. 

There's custom cabinetry, pocket doors and intentionally exposed studs. 

A fireplace in a living room of one of the units. 

All of it comes together in the perfect combination of historical charm and industrial style. 

A bedroom. 

As the listing agent puts it: "If cool was a category on MLS that is the word that would be used to describe every single room in this enormous duplex. "

The workshop at the back of the house. 

In addition to the large historic house, 1402 Dundas St. W also offers a standalone workshop with electricity at the back of the property. 

An office space. 

The listing agent notes that the space is currently being used as a home base for a carpenter, but there's more than one possibility for the space. 

A loft bedroom. 

"Its an extremely practical and rentable space to many professions and hobbyists alike," listing agent Ashley Langille writes. 

The home boasts three bathrooms with an additional roughed in bathroom on the third floor. 

But if your aspirations are bigger, you could potentially turn the workshop into a garden suite or laneway home. 

The kitchen of one of the units. 

And it doesn't stop there, since there are countless options under the commercial residential zoning to explore. 

Another bedroom. 

The location is perfect for development too. 

Built-ins and pocket doors add charm to the home. 

Developers have been flocking to Brockton and Beaconsfield Village for the prime location, growth potential, and the community’s love for urban revitalization.

1402 Dundas St. W is listed for $3,285,000.
