Located in Buena Vista, 438 8th Street East delivers updated, flexible living space for families, home-based professionals, or buyers seeking multi-use functionality. This property stands out with a rare combination of a non-conforming studio suite, a dedicated street-facing office with its own exterior entry, and a private primary retreat on the upper level. Sitting on an expansive 59' x 124' (7,475 sq. ft.) corner lot, this home also offers strong future potential, including suitability for BRT-related multifamily growth and plumbing already run to the rear yard for a future laneway suite. The main floor's open layout connects the living room, dining room, and kitchen, creating a practical space and allowing natural light to flow through. Off the main hallway are two bedrooms, a guest ½ bath, and a 4-pc bathroom, providing privacy and convenience. The front office space is ideal for running a business from home, offering visibility, privacy, and direct client access without interrupting the household. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with a beautifully finished ensuite featuring a one-of-a-kind steam shower. Directly off the primary bedroom is a 25’ x 16’ rooftop balcony overlooking the yard and Eastlake Avenue. The layout also supports the option for upper-level laundry. The basement adds further versatility with a non-conforming studio suite featuring a kitchenette, a 3-pc bath, and an open space that makes for a great studio setup. The basement laundry is located just before the suite entry at the bottom of the stairs. Set on a mature corner lot, the backyard offers ample room for kids, pets, gardening, and evenings around the firepit. With four bedrooms, modern updates, multiple access points, laneway-suite readiness, and long-term redevelopment potential, this property delivers strong value in a desirable neighbourhood close to Broadway, schools, parks, and amenities.
