General overview

A big two-bedroom apartment with a ton of character in a 100-year old walk-up in an incredible neighbourhood.

The space

This is a warm, welcoming space. The twelve year's I've been here have seen a few different relationships and roommates, which have led to the current, and some might say quirky layout... The main bedroom is separated from the living room by a barn door and from the kitchen by a french door and windows. It has a queen-sized bed and large wooden table that most often serves as a second work space. The second bedroom is my now my office and was decorated as a professional backdrop for video calls, with an adjustable standing desk, whiteboards, and good Wi-Fi. It has a sofa that can be pulled out into a king-size bed. It's also set up for good home workouts with exercise bands, dumbbells up to 58lb, a pull up bar, yoga mats, foam rollers, and a heavy wooden bench. The kitchen is equipped with oven, refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle, toaster, slow cooker, steamer, hand mixer, blender, immersion blender, and Keurig coffee maker.

Guest access

The apartment is on the 3rd floor (ground +2) and there is no lift, so it may not be suitable for someone with mobility issues. And while there are no pets living here now, two cats lived here from 2020 to mid-2024. Everything has been thoroughly cleaned, but it may still not be suitable for someone with serious allergies.

Notes

The apartment is heated by hot water cast iron radiators, although because the apartment is on the inside of the building, they rarely need to be set above a minimum level. In the summer, two window-installed air conditioning units keep the space quite cool, and there are a number of fans that can be used. Coin laundry is in the building on the same floor as the apartment.

Neighbourhood

The building is right near Yonge and Eglinton, one of Toronto's greatest and most livable neighbourhoods. Within 5-10 minutes walk are countless restaurants and takeaway food options, coffee and bubble tea shops, three grocery stores, numerous gourmet food shops, two LCBOs (liquor stores), shops to get wine, dozens of gyms and fitness studios, a cinema. Nearby are also the Mount Pleasant (10 min walk) and Bayview (20 min walk) areas offering even more shopping and food options.

Getting to my home

If you arriving by international flight into Toronto Pearson airport, you can take the Union-Pearson (UP) Express to Union Station in downtown Toronto. From here you will take the Yonge Line subway towards Finch, getting off at Eglinton station. From here it is a 5-minute walk to the building.

Nearest airport

Toronto Pearson International Airport is approximately 20km away, while Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (the Island Airport) is approximately 10km away.

Getting around

Eglinton subway station is a 5-minute walk away, where you can hop on the Yonge subway line, taking you directly into downtown Toronto. Access to TTC subways, buses, and streetcars can be done with contactless payment, or you can purchase tickets or a reloadable Presto card from machines in the station. The Yonge subway line also goes to Union Station, with access to regional GO Transit, Via Rail trains covering all of Canada, and the UP Express directly to Toronto Pearson Int'l Airport.
