Experience breathtaking north, south, and west views from this sun-drenched corner suite. Originally a 2 Bedroom + Den, the layout has been thoughtfully reconfigured into a spacious 1 Bedroom + Den with expansive living and dining areas ideal for entertaining or unwinding in style, with the flexibility to convert back to the original layout if desired. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the entire unit, flooding the space with natural light and showcasing unobstructed views and sunsets from every angle. The primary bedroom is a private retreat with a walk-in closet and luxurious ensuite, while the oversized den, large enough to serve as a second bedroom - has convenient access to a second full bathroom. The kitchen is a true showpiece: high-end appliances, a large island with stone countertops, and bar seating that flows seamlessly into the dedicated dining area. The oversized living space easily fits a large sectional, striking the perfect balance of warmth and function. Two balconies, ample storage, and tens of thousands in premium custom finishes round out the offering, along with one parking space and an oversized locker. Ideally located at Bathurst and St. Clair, you're in the heart of one of Toronto's most vibrant, walkable neighbourhoods - steps to the St. Clair West subway and streetcar, Loblaws, cafés, restaurants, shops, and green spaces like Sir Winston Churchill Park. A rare combination of comfort, design, and location.

How this lease stacks up against the local rental market
Estimated Monthly Budget
Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?
· Are pets and small renovations (paint, hooks) allowed?
· When was the last rent increase, if there is a prior tenant?
Utility estimates are approximate and vary by season, habits, and what the landlord includes. Always confirm inclusions with the listing agent.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Above Market Rent
At $3,689/mo, this is asking above the typical 2-bedroom rent of ~$2,900/mo in Forest Hill. That premium needs to be justified — newer finishes, included parking, a premium location, or utilities included. I'll help you assess whether it's worth it or whether there's room to negotiate.
Market Position
At 20 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Efficient Living
At 900 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
About Humewood-Cedarvale
I know Humewood-Cedarvale well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Lease Terms to Negotiate
Don't just focus on the monthly rent — the lease terms matter just as much. I always advise my rental clients to clarify: what's included (parking, storage, utilities), the lease length options, the landlord's policy on renewals, and whether small personalizations like painting are permitted. These details can make or break your experience over 12–24 months.
