The Details

Anything But Prickly

Who says a lifeless glass shoebox has to be your way into the Toronto housing market? Your journey up the property ladder doesn’t have to be like everyone else’s. In fact, choosing the road less travelled can lead to bigger & better rewards. So, how do you make something small (and cute) feel large? We like to call it opportunity cost, my friends. Check out this recently refreshed condo alternative striking the perfect balance between move-in ready and upside potential. A starter-upper in the truest sense! Rosethorn’s lengthy highlight list includes a renovated kitchen with a sunny disposition and a window over the sink (the best), open-concept living and dining, updated flooring throughout, freshly painted top to bottom and a practical but Pinterest-friendly mudroom leading to a grassy sun-filled backyard (dogs of all sizes welcome here, of course). And down the road, when you’re ready? The huge 1,009-square-foot unfinished basement provides a generous opportunity to add more value (and living space)! And it just so happens that the 26 x 117-foot lot permits a 1,247 Garden Suite over two stories! Huh, go figure! All this and more in an old school Toronto community where your neighbours actually have your back (including a generous supply of fresh tomatoes over the fenceline, true story). This Rose is in full bloom and anything but prickly!

Your home should tell a story of who you are and be a collection of what you love.

The Neighbourhood

The neighbourhood

Welcome To
Keelesdale - Eglinton West

233 Rosethorn Avenue is a fantastic home base for anyone looking to immerse themselves in a safe neighbourhood teeming with amenities and throwback vibes. This locale is uniquely positioned to offer the bustling activity of city life while tucked away in a quiet Toronto pocket, making it an ideal choice for families and young professionals alike.

The neighbourhood is increasingly garnering attention from young families and first-time homebuyers eager to plant roots in an environment that promises affordability, convenient transit access, and a culturally rich atmosphere.

The community’s primary draw is its strategic transit network, which promises unprecedented access to the heart of Toronto. The soon-to-be-completed Eglinton Crosstown LRT will establish Keelesdale as a significant transit hub. Its station, acting as a linchpin between the GO Transit system, UP Express, and Toronto’s TTC buses, presents residents with effortless connectivity to downtown Toronto and beyond. This transit upgrade positions Keelesdale as an advantageous location for professionals whose lives oscillate between the tranquillity of suburbia and the bustle of urban Toronto.

A standout feature of living on Rosethorn is its proximity to the Stockyards, an expansive shopping and entertainment complex that has revitalized the area. Just an eight-minute drive away, the Stockyards offers a wide array of retail stores, supermarkets, and specialty shops. This convenience is a significant perk for residents who enjoy having various shopping options right at their doorstep, not to mention the numerous dining venues that cater to every palate—from fast food to more refined culinary experiences.

Earlscourt Park, another gem in the vicinity (just 15 minutes on foot), enhances the area’s appeal with its well-maintained green spaces, sports facilities, and playgrounds. This park serves as a communal hub where children play and adults unwind, hosting family-friendly activities and sports leagues that bring the community together. The park’s spacious areas are perfect for picnics, jogs, or simply enjoying a day out in the fresh air with the dog, making it an invaluable resource for outdoor enthusiasts!

Moreover, Keelesdale is one of the last affordable neighbourhoods in Toronto with significant growth potential. It provides an attractive proposition for young families looking to invest in a starter home without compromising their quality of life. Property values are expected to grow as infrastructure developments continue, promising a return on investment for savvy homebuyers. It is an under-the-radar gem offering an affordable entry point to Toronto’s competitive real estate market and an appealing investment opportunity.

This isn’t just another neighbourhood; it’s a feeling. It’s the kind of community where the pace slows down; neighbours wave hello, and quiet evenings on your new porch become cherished traditions!
