Freshly painted and recently renovated with a smart, highly functional layout that lives more like a two room suite.

New vinyl plank flooring flows seamlessly into the living space, complemented by brand new light fixtures in the living room and bathroom. The enclosed den functions as a true second room, complete with a full door and closet, and was previously used as a bedroom - a rare and valuable layout not often found in 1+1 units. Enjoy full-service amenities including indoor pool, gym, sauna, virtual golf, billiards, party room, guest suites, visitor parking, and 24 hour concierge. The building has been recently upgraded with renovated hallways, concierge area, and amenities.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $769/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Willowdale's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Willowdale properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,242 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
Let's See It Together
Photos only tell part of the story. During our showing, I'll point out things the camera doesn't capture: neighbourhood feel, natural light quality, traffic noise, and overall condition. I'll also share what comparable homes have sold for and help you craft a winning strategy if you decide to move forward.
