234 Keele St · Apartment for Rent

Bright basement - more above-ground than most. Furnished (or not), sophisticated free laundry upstairs, ample closets & storage space, full bath with new plumbing. Bedroom, living room + office space. Separate entrance. Great back garden. Possible bonus: In some way be part of the retreat centre my wife and I are developing one hour north-west of Toronto, backing onto a 400-acre nature reserve. Available: August 1. (July 31?) 5 minute walk to Keele subway, or take the bus at the corner. 1 minute to each of 2 great parks (skating + best tobogganing). 2 minutes to a community centre with swimming pool, etc.. 6 minute walk to High Park. 3 minutes' bike to No Frills, organic shops, and great restaurants (in the Junction). Express bus to York U. Bike or rollerblade downtown via the blissful Waterfront Trail (30 minutes bike to Yonge & Front). Quick access to highways: Lakeshore (straight down Keele=Parkside Drive) or 401 or 400 (via Black Creek Drive). Parking: $14/month (details at bottom). Previous tenant (a chartered accountant) was here for 4.5 years (3 of those years with her partner). $990 for one occupant, $1070 for two, plus utilities & internet (shared = cheaper). The oven is a countertop convection oven (better heat distribution than ordinary ovens). The stove-top is built into the countertop. Stainless steel fridge doors. Place for a desk or two. Pets? Perhaps - let's talk. Best dog location in Toronto? Seriously: one minute north to park with a great dog run; < one minute south to huge park with great hills. 6 minutes to High Park. Have you been to the dog meet in High Park? Oh, and possibly access the great garden. (You would need to discuss that with the 1st floor tenant.) Alas, I must ask: can you say that your dog is a relatively quiet dog? Keele north of Bloor. Please tell me: How can you satisfy my need to know you will be able to pay rent? How can you satisfy my need to know you will otherwise be a good tenant? Might you want it furnished? semi-furnished? un-furnished? (I can email photos of furniture) Do you have any pets? Would anyone be living with you? When would you want to move in? Do you know how long you expect to stay? Thanks ------------- PARKING: free northbound Keele anytime except 4-6 M-F, or on side streets with parking permit overnight ($15/month because you are the first in the house with a car. At other rentals you may need to pay the City $35/month.)
