Burnham Glen

The Burnham Glen condominium was developed by Tridel in 1971. This Toronto condo sits on a sizable property with immense green space near the intersection of Mill Road and Rathburn Road. With a total of 215 condo units spread out over 18 stories, 420 Mill Road is a mid-sized community where pets are permitted (2 pets, with dogs up to 35lbs each) and owners can lease their units if they wish. Suites range in size from 998 to 1261 square feet, with a myriad of different layouts and views to suit any urbanite!

I don’t use the term ‘community’ lightly, but with so many options for gathering, relaxation and recreation within Burnham Glen, there’s a sense of camaraderie and wellness here that is very inviting. The building is brimming with amenities, including a fitness room, sauna, outdoor pool and even tennis courts! You’ll love the children’s playground and the library if you have little ones, while the BBQ patio and party rooms are a dream come true if you love to host a hungry brood! It’s topped off by handy bicycle storage, underground resident parking, and convenient above-ground visitors parking. Even better, it’s all included in your monthly maintenance fee, as are heat, hydro, water, building insurance and common elements! (And with a common rental locker available for just $150 per year, you’ll have plenty of storage space for all your belongings.)

I particularly like the bucolic, countryside-like backdrop of Burnham Glen, not only for its private green space, but for the exceptional sightlines afforded the suites, including forested views of the Etobicoke Creek, Mill Valley Park, Joe Benesh Pond, and sprawling Centennial Park – not to mention the fabulous cherry blossoms in the Spring!!

Suite 1204

Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Etsy, HGTV, oh my! Media is saturated with tips, tricks, and tutorials that feed our love of design. The pandemic plunged us into hibernation in 2020, and we emerged with a renewed awareness of domestic spaces and an appreciation of ‘Home’. Now, home renovation television and interior design stories are all the rage, and we’ve come to revel in the sweet satisfaction of a room refresh or daring DIY.

So it’s with great pleasure that I present this opportunity to turn a blank condominium canvas into your dream home. Boasting over 1000 square feet, two bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen, a four-piece bathroom, ensuite laundry and large interior storage closets, you’ll have all the space you need to create a home that perfectly reflects you and your personal style. (And then show it off, of course!!) This original, unrenovated unit is being sold “as is” and needs a loving refresh, which is reflected in the list price. It comes equipped with a refrigerator, stove, stacked washer & dryer, a wall air conditioning unit, electric light fixtures, and window coverings.

Monthly maintenance fees total $747.08 and include all amenities, all utilities and parking, so you’re all set! Property taxes are approximately $1600 annually.
