About this home
In short
- Some condos have personality.

Some condos have personality. Others have functionality. Many have neither. But every once in a while, you are lucky enough to find one that has both. Welcome to Suite 512 at Enigma on the Park, an architectural anomaly tucked away in a quiet enclave of Toronto's west end.Two bedrooms, both with windows. Two full baths. A split layout. The primary comes with its own ensuite, so no one's fighting over the bathroom in the morning. The second bedroom sits on the opposite side of the suite; great for a guest room, an office, a nursery, or whatever your life might need. And smack in between, a living room designed for living, with no need to complicate where you rest your head at night. From the start, someone clearly thought things through. Engineered hardwood runs throughout, 9-foot ceilings do their thing with the light, and custom cabinetry at the entryway and bedroom means your stuff has a home instead of a pile by the door.The kitchen truly is the showpiece. A custom island holds court over a true dining area (not a breakfast bar with ambitions). And the exposed brick wall? Character, warmth, and a backdrop that does half the decorating for you. Now, let's address the elephant in the room. The balcony may not be a terrace, but it sure packs a punch. Coffee in the morning, a glass of wine at night. That's the whole plan, and it's a good one. And for the unexpected: look out your window and the CN Tower practically hits you in the face. Not something you'd bet on this far west, but there it is, front and centre, like the city wanted to surprise you. Here's the bit most people don't grasp: this building is boutique. That's not a marketing line; that's the real vibe. With only 86 suites, you'll know your neighbours' names, not just their dog's. Feels less "downtown". More "downtown adjacent". You get the skyline. Someone else gets the sirens.

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 $681K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
On schools, this address is zoned for Brock Public 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 ($905/sqft) is below the area, so you are paying for extra space rather than a premium.
Based on 3 homes sold in this building over the past two years, plus 2 nearby in Dufferin Grove, from 31 closings in Dufferin Grove.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest condo apartment listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $703K, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $1,107/sqft; this home lists at $905/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Investor snapshot
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersThe last 6 whole-home leases in Dufferin Grove signed at a median of $3,182 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,224. The gross yield above is on the asking price, before taxes and upkeep; the cap rate is after them. A finished basement or second suite can push real rent above it. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing.
