1 Hycrest Avenue

A boutique residence in the Willowdale neighbourhood, 1 Hycrest Ave stands 10 storeys tall and contains 69 bright and airy suites. The property includes commercial space on the ground floor and is situated on the corner of Sheppard Ave East.

One Hycrest Ave Condos was completed in 1996, and has been extremely well maintained over the years. This North York condo provides thoughtful amenities that don't feel excessive: Residents have shared access to a private gym, saunas, a games room, parking and visitor parking.

Whether you're part of a growing family, a single professional, or an empty nester, homes at 1 Hycrest offer great value and plenty of space to stretch out.

Regardless of layouts or exposure, all suites at 1 Hycrest Ave provide more space than you would typically get with most modern Toronto condos. Units range from 549 square feet to 1700 square foot; 2 bedroom suites are very spacious and often exceed 1000 square feet. As well, this building has a select few studio units with 1600 square foot loft style layouts.

Prospective buyers and renters should anticipate some variation between units — many suites have been completely renovated and now feature open concept layouts. Other units have apartment-like layouts, with enclave kitchens and a more divided layout. All suites attract an abundance of natural light through large windows, and some units have private patios or rooftop decks.

Kitchens come with lots of cabinet storage and a reasonable amount of counter space. There are units with 2 and 3 bedroom layouts that have full eat-in kitchens that most buyers wouldn't expect to encounter in a condo. Units have hardwood flooring or wood laminate, deep closets in bedrooms, and large bathrooms.

1 Hycrest Ave is surrounded by conveniently located shops. Residents can walk to Bayview Village Shopping Centre in just 7 minutes, where they'll find an assortment of well known clothing boutiques, jewelry stores, and cosmetic shops. Friday Farmers Market is located on Sheppard for fresh produce, jams, and specialty sauces, all of which are locally sourced.

For food on the run, Bayview Village Shopping Centre hosts many fast food chains, and restaurants can be found sprinkled throughout the neighbourhood too. Neighbourhood standouts include Michi Sushi and Paisano's, however, there's also a Tim Hortons and Popeyes close to the building for classic comfort food.

When residents need some fresh air, they have Sheppard East Park only a 5 minute walk from the building. As well, there are athletic clubs like Bayview Tennis Club at Hawksbury Park and the North York YMCA on Sheppard.
