860 Sq Ft That Makes Sense – Real Space, Smart Storage, and Straightforward Monthly Costs
Send This Listing To A FriendAt 860 square feet, this is the kind of two-bedroom that’s becoming harder to find at this price point, especially one with the key updates already in place.
The layout is simple and efficient, with properly sized rooms and a flow that feels natural as soon as you walk in. There’s clear separation between living and sleeping areas, which makes working from home, hosting, or just day-to-day routines feel more comfortable. Nothing is forced, and nothing is wasted. Storage is a real strength here. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet, complemented by a large front hall closet and a separate locker. It’s a setup that supports staying organized without having to constantly rethink your space.
The kitchen has been updated with white cabinetry and stone countertops. It’s a well-organized, modern workspace that handles both quick weekday meals and more involved cooking without compromise. New luxury vinyl flooring runs throughout, giving the unit a clean, cohesive look while adding durability and ease of maintenance.
The balcony overlooks the interior courtyard, creating a more contained and usable outdoor setting than street-facing units. It’s an easy extension of the living space—suited for a morning coffee, a few plants, or simply stepping outside—with a subtle city view in the background.
From a cost perspective, ownership here is straightforward. All utilities are included, which simplifies monthly planning and removes the variability that often comes with condo expenses. The Shermount is a Tridel-built mid-rise with an established presence in the neighbourhood. What distinguishes it is the level of resident engagement—regular events, shared spaces, and a sense of familiarity among neighbours that’s increasingly uncommon in larger buildings. For buyers who value a more connected environment, it’s a meaningful difference.
Amenities include a party room, meeting and function spaces, a games and recreation room, visitor parking, security guard, and controlled entry. The location supports both transit and driving. TTC access along Lawrence connects across the city, while nearby highways make commuting by car efficient. Yorkdale Mall is a short drive away, providing convenient access to shopping, groceries, and everyday services.
This is a condo that gets the fundamentals right: size, layout, storage, and cost clarity—without leaving a list of immediate projects behind. It’s a practical, well-balanced option for a buyer who wants their next move to make sense on day one and continue to hold up over time.

About Englemount-Lawrence
Englemount-Lawrence has the kind of community feel that’s getting harder to find in Toronto. It’s family-friendly without being cookie-cutter, and it has a rhythm that appeals to everyone from young parents to teenagers to people who’ve called it home for decades.
The heart of the neighbourhood is Lawrence Manor. West of Bathurst you’ll find quiet, tree-lined streets with single-family homes and low-rise apartments, while east of Bathurst the homes get larger and the roots of the Orthodox Jewish community run deep, with organizations and religious centres that anchor daily life. It’s a place where neighbours know each other, and where traditions and modern city living overlap comfortably.
Everyday errands are easy here. Lawrence Plaza, a fixture since 1953, still serves as a hub for groceries, shops, and services, and Bathurst Street is lined with retailers that keep life convenient. When it’s time to eat out, you don’t have to go far: grab a deli classic at United Bakers Dairy Restaurant, enjoy Japanese at Nozomi, slice into North of Brooklyn’s pizza, or stop by Kosher Gourmet for take-home favourites.
Green space is part of the appeal too—there are 11 parks in the area, giving families and kids plenty of room to play and a chance to breathe between city runs. And if you do need to get moving, transit and highways are close at hand: Eglinton West Station, the Allen Expressway, and the 401 make it simple to connect to the rest of Toronto or beyond.
Englemount-Lawrence offers a balance of convenience, culture, and community that has kept people rooted here for generations—and continues to draw new families who want the same.
