About this home
Fully renovated in early 2025, this beautifully appointed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom corner suite was thoughtfully designed by the owner for personal living-not resale. Premium German-brand appliances, elegant crystal light fixtures, adjustable dimmer switches, Italian bathroom fixtures, and custom-made curtains specially shipped from overseas were all carefully selected.Offered for sale with reluctance only because the owner's work has shifted to another city. Maintenance fees include all utilities for simple, predictable monthly expenses.Ideally located in the heart of North York, within the highly sought-after Earl Haig Secondary School and McKee Public School districts. T&T Supermarket, H Mart, Food Basics, and Longo's are all within easy walking distance, along with subway stations, restaurants, banks, cafés, salons, and other everyday conveniences.

The market behind the math:
About 0.9 months of inventory: 43 condo apartment homes for sale in the area against 140 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $663/sqft against an area asking average of $737/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
This figure comes from a model built on about 44,000 recent GTA sales. It weighs this home’s tax assessment, size, age, location and features against what homes like it actually sold for, including sales in this neighbourhood and this building.
It never sees the asking price. The 5 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $646K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
On schools, this address is zoned for Earl Haig Secondary School, one of the higher-rated public schools in the area. A strong catchment tends to hold value and widen your resale pool, especially with family buyers.
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
Priced above comparable homes overall, but the price per square foot ($663/sqft) is below the area, so you are paying for extra space rather than a premium.
Based on 5 homes sold in this building over the past year, from 500 closings in Willowdale East.
