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. Central air conditioning. All new electrical (whole house). Upgraded water pressure. New hot water tank. New furnace. 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?) More photos on my site: 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). Great cell reception. (Can't assume that in basements, tenants tell me.) The oven is a countertop convection oven (better heat distribution than ordinary ovens). (Fits two large 825 gram pizzas.) 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? (more than 6 minutes - not sure how many.) 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? Kids? Daycare next door. (Ideal neighbours.) 4 great schools within 6 blocks. Get paid $400 per year to clear snow - if you wish. $1111 for one occupant, $1150 for two, $1190 for three. Plus utilities & internet (shared = cheaper) (around $140 for you). Keele north of Bloor. Please tell me: Do you have any pets? Would anyone be living with you? When would you want to start renting? Do you know how long you expect to stay? 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? 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.) Amenities: Air Conditioning, Balcony, Building: On Site Laundry, Building: Storage, Central Heat, On Site Laundry
