75 Emmett Avenue

Does your search for Toronto condos for sale feel like a hunt for an expensive closet? Do modern condos make you feel as though the walls are closing in? If price and living space are in any way a concern, then the Winston House is a condo to consider.

Located at 75 Emmett Ave in the Mount Dennis neighbourhood, The Winston House stands 24 storeys tall and is home to 349 spacious suites. In addition to sizeable units, this building provides its residents with a wealth of extras — gym, indoor pool, sauna, tennis court, games room, party room, security guard, and parking garage.

One bonus for animal lovers is that this building has pet friendly policies, and with so much green space nearby, you’ll always have somewhere to walk the dog — cat owners are welcome as well, but you don’t want to be one of those people who puts their cat on a leash… or maybe you do.

These condos are ideal for first time home buyers, young professionals, empty nesters — or anyone who’s looking for extra living space without breaking the bank.

When the smallest the unit in a building is 1170 square feet, you’re in the clear to use the word huge — and what you’ll find here are huge suites, which range up to 1456 square feet. Units are available in 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom layouts, but regardless of which unit you choose, you’ll never feel cramped.

The Winston House was built in 1976 and as such, many units could be in need of an upgrade — which presents a great opportunity for investors. While what you’ll find within these units may vary, buyers can expect hardwood or parquet floors, apartment style layouts with separate kitchens, walk in closets, large windows, and private balconies.

Units found in this building are among the lowest price per square foot of condos in the York Crosstown area — which is considerably lower than prices in downtown Toronto. So, adding your own personal touch to one these condos could yield a great return down the road.

Nestled against the eastern bank of the Humber River, Mount Dennis is a nature filled neighbourhood, with a small selection of restaurants and businesses on Weston Road, and reasonable commuter access for car owners.

If you’re looking to dine out, you have great options nearby. From your lobby doors at 75 Emmett Ave, you can stroll to Tim Hortons for breakfast, or hit up Golden Crisp Fish & Chips for lunch. Whether its date night or just a night where you’re too lazy to cook, you have fast food chains like KFC, or sit down restaurants such as Weston Pizza & Wings, Shilla Restaurant, and Asian Food — yes, there’s a place called ‘Asian Food’.

For shopping, there are unique stores along Weston — New Kaneshi Market sells African goods, there’s Home/Elegant for furniture, Tech Solutions for cell phones, and a variety of service based businesses. If you require more shopping options, you can head north on Jane for North York Sheridan Mall.

Nightlife is limited to a few cozy pubs, and while that might disappoint some, those who enjoy nature will always have something to do; Eglinton Flats is a large green space with soccer fields and acres of natural scenery. At Portage Gardens Park there are playgrounds and walking trails, and to the north you have Weston Lions Park which has sports fields and a swimming pool.

Walkability is an area where these condos fumble the ball — 75 Emmett Ave has a 61 Walk Score, so residents will likely need a vehicle or public transit to accomplish all of their errands.

Those who rely on public transit have a bus stop right outside of their building, and there are routes on Jane Street, Weston Road, and Eglinton Ave W. If you need to go further, Weston Station is just north of the neighbourhood for Go Transit.

Drivers who commute have it easy — heading north on Jane Street will have you on the 400 in less than 15 minutes.
