Ossington House with Mural Lists for $1.5M | 8 Humbert St.

If you’ve been searching for the ultimate Ossington house, this one might top your list. A newly listed property at 8 Humbert Street blends bold street art with modern design — and it’s now on the market for $1.5 million.

But what makes this four-bedroom, four-bathroom house stand out isn’t just the layout — it’s the massive Jerry Rugg (aka birdO) mural covering the entire west-facing wall.

A Landmark Mural Meets Modern Renovation

The mural, restored to its full glory, gives the home an instantly recognizable curb appeal. And once you step inside, the vibe only continues.

The open-concept main floor features exposed brick, high ceilings, and a sleek, Scandinavian-style kitchen. There’s a seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas — making it a great fit for entertainers or creatives who need space to think and gather.

A Layout Built for Comfort — and Privacy

Upstairs, the second floor offers three cozy bedrooms and a modern three-piece bathroom. The third floor is reserved for the primary bedroom suite, which comes complete with a walk-in closet, ensuite bath, and access to a private rooftop patio overlooking Toronto’s skyline.

According to realtor Lesli Gaynor, the house is completely soundproofed. So despite being steps away from the Ossington strip, inside feels like a quiet retreat.

Income Potential in the Basement

Downstairs, the basement offers extra flexibility — with a family room, another bedroom, and a three-piece bathroom. There’s also a separate entrance, making it a strong candidate for an Airbnb-style rental or guest suite, even though there’s no full kitchen.

Broker Leonard Fridman, who specializes in income properties, says the location alone could consistently bring in money: “In that neighbourhood, people would book it solid.”

What’s the Catch?

The outdoor space feels limited, since the backyard aholds both a 10×10 storage unit and the only parking spot.However, buyers could choose to convert it into a garden or patio, depending on lifestyle needs.

Still, as Fridman puts it, you could think of this listing as “$1.5 million for a Jerry Rugg original mural — and the house is free.” And for someone looking for a standout home in one of Toronto’s trendiest pockets, it might just be worth it.
