Danforth East

Head over heels for the eastside.

Highlights:

  • As diverse as they come, this area has a little utopia of Ethiopian, Moroccan, Greek, Italian, Hakka, Mexican, Thai and Tunisian entrepreneurs all within blocks of each other.
  • Danforth East hosts a variety of gastro-pubs, artisan studios, pop-up shops, and social enterprises, which are as esoteric as they are interesting.
  • Stan Wadlow and Taylor Creek Park are nearby with miles of biking and walking trails that can take you across the city, surrounded by dense beautiful trees and the creek itself splitting the trail up the middle.
  • Set in a beautiful park the East Lynn Farmer’s Market boasts local eats, wine, live entertainment, face-painting, crafts and even has a splash pool for the kids.
  • This is one area where you can still buy a cute house for an affordable price, live close to the subway, and keep your car for driving out of town on the weekends.
  • 5-minute drive to the Beach, the heart of Greektown, Little India, the DVP, and 10-minute drive to Lakeshore/Gardiner, Leslieville, the gorgeous Scarborough Bluffs.

About Danforth East:

Recently rebranded as “The Danny”, this friendly neighbourhood has become a hot spot for young professionals’, many of whom are noted artists including members of the Toronto Symphony, Canadian Opera, and film and television performers.

This may be owing to the strong neighbourhood pride, its active parent participation in the school system, and its tight-knit community. As well the relative affordability of the houses in Danforth Village, together with the convenience of the Bloor-Danforth subway line make this neighbourhood an excellent choice for first-time home buyers.

WALK SCORE
TRANSIT SCORE

History of Danforth East:

  • It first appeared in the 19th century as the ‘Coleman’ postal village.
  • By the turn of the century the area was called “Little York” (an original name of Toronto) and became a part of the short-lived Town of East Toronto.
  • The single most important event came in 1919 with the completion of the Bloor Viaduct bridge over the Don Valley, finally connecting the Danforth to the City via Bloor Street.
  • The area developed from the 1910s thru the 1930s as a streetcar suburb with most of the housing to the north and south of the street dating from this period.
  • In its early years, the Danforth was home to outlawed activities like making moonshine and dog and cock fighting.
  • First inhabitants were mainly immigrants from England, Ireland, and Scotland. In the 1950s an influx of Italians came to the area, followed by Greeks and other immigrants in the 1960s.
  • The Allenby movie theatre, one of the finest Kaplan and Sprachman theatres designed in the Art Deco style, opened in the 1930s but by the 1970s, the rock scene took it over with Rocky Horror Picture show and The Song Remains the Same.

    Set on a quiet block of Woodycrest Avenue within walking distance to the Danforth lies this deceivingly large detached home that has enjoyed a two-storey addition at the rear, enlarging the interiors and resulting in an inspiring, light-filled and ultimately very cool interior space. The large covered front porch with skylight features opens to the foyer that holds a double coat closet and designer tile flooring. Stepping into the living room, the enlarged front window brings light into the centre of the home and clever built-in shelves have been recessed into the walls. In the dining room, the room dimensions span the full width of the home, and a main floor powder room is concealed behind a barn door enclosure. The kitchen was fully renovated during the 2014 renovation/addition and is lined with excellent storage space, stainless steel appliances, a custom window bench and quartz countertops. The kitchen overlooks the family room addition, where ceilings reach nearly ten feet, and a wall of glass connects the inside to the outdoors. A wood-burning fireplace is included in this room, as well as a built-in bench seating and excellent wall space for artwork. The sliding glass door opens to a wooden deck and further to the expanded dimensions of this nearly 150 foot lot. On the second floor, the primary bedroom lies within the addition and astounds with dimension and design. An oversized window overlooks the garden, and a large custom window seat invites residents to enjoy this quiet space. The bedroom is serviced by a three-piece ensuite and walk-in closet. The two other bedrooms both have excellent closets, and share access to the renovated four-piece bathroom with skylight and a concealed laundry closet. The fully finished basement has a large recreation room, a full nanny-suite, a walk-out and roughed-in plumbing for a kitchen, if needed. Parking for one car is accessed via the front pad, and residents enjoy quick access to Danforth shops, restaurants on foot. More details
