South-facing, bright and exceptionally well located, this one-bedroom suite at Pears on the Avenue offers an easy, comfortable way to live in one of Toronto's most walkable neighbourhoods. The Yorkville B floor plan offers approximately 522 sq. ft. of interior space plus a 46 sq. ft. balcony. Expansive glazing fills the living area with natural light, while a corner window opens up the outlook and adds another dimension to the space. A proper hinged door, rather than a sliding patio door, leads to the south-facing balcony. The open kitchen, living and dining area makes efficient use of the suite's footprint. Original upgrades include hardwood flooring extending into the bedroom, a Cristallo White glass kitchen backsplash and black glass kitchen cabinetry. The location may be the real standout. Step outside and choose your direction. Yorkville and the Annex are close at hand, with restaurants, cafes, shops, transit and everyday conveniences nearby. Ramsden Park is just across the way, offering a wonderful stretch of green space in the middle of the city. Walk across the park and Summerhill is a short stroll beyond, adding another great neighbourhood to everything already within reach. Back at home, Pears on the Avenue offers an impressive collection of amenities, including an indoor pool and whirlpool, sauna, fitness facilities, yoga studio, screening room, party room, rooftop terrace with BBQs, guest suite, dog wash, visitor parking and 24-hour concierge. Unit 902 includes both parking and a locker. Pears on the Avenue was also featured in CondoVoice magazine for its approach to condominium governance and management, highlighting proactive maintenance, fiscal responsibility and a strong sense of community. See the attached article for a closer look at the building.
