47 St Clair Avenue W

On a bustling street in midtown Toronto, the Westclair Condos at 47 St. Clair Avenue West have long been attracting many prospective buyers. Built in 1988 by Westclair Developments, these upscale condos compare favourably to many recently finished residences in the city, courtesy of their generous living spaces, charming ambience, and the friendly community in the Yonge and St. Clair neighbourhood.

Past the distinguished wrought iron gate, a cobblestone path leads up to the 13-storey tower. Showcasing a clean arrangement of a myriad of large square windows and a series of rounded balconies, the condos’ modern aesthetic is complemented perfectly by its rooftop. From street level passersby can spot thriving tree branches peeking over the edges of the roof — perhaps symbolizing the vibrant atmosphere within 47 St. Clair West.

This rooftop terrace, containing carefully cultivated gardens, barbecues, and seating for both eating and lounging, is just one of the many amenities the Westclair Condos offers to its residents. The elegantly appointed lobby — where residents can enjoy spending time in yet another garden area — is cared for by a 24-hour concierge service. They can also work out in the building’s exercise room, before heading over to relax in one of the building's saunas.

Finally, when residents want to host friends and family during the winter, they can do so in a grand recreation room. During the summer, the spacious rooftop terrace boasts unobstructed views of the city skyline, which provides an extraordinary backdrop for lively get-togethers on warm evenings.

Ranging in size from approximately 950 to over 2,100 square feet, the 64 suites in the Westclair Condos consist of two-bedroom, two-bathroom layouts plus those with dens as well. As such, these Toronto condos for sale are perhaps best suited for small families, especially considering their location in the residential Deer Park area.

Many of these suites feature access to private balconies, while all residents enjoy bright and airy atmospheres from inside their suites courtesy of the floor-to-ceiling windows found throughout 47 St. Clair West. Even though many residents have customized their suites to their respective tastes over the years, an abundance of natural light greets everyone living here — as long as the sun is shining, that is.

Nestled just a short walk west of Yonge Street, 47 St. Clair West feels like a secluded escape from the city, especially since it overlooks green spaces as well as tennis courts. Still, there’s a vibrant scene around the Yonge and St. Clair intersection, just around the corner from the Westclair Condos.

Here, set amongst sophisticated midtown office buildings, one can find many trendy shopping and eating options. There’s even a Loblaws conveniently situated at the northeast corner of Yonge and St. Clair — less than five minutes away by foot. And a few steps past the nearby Loblaws, those living here can find the Deer Park Public Library, whose plethora of programming can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

The nearby Loblaws and library are also quite popular since they sit right across from the entrance to a TTC Station: St. Clair Station, on the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line. Using this subway line, those living here can venture downtown in around ten minutes. Thankfully for those heading out to destinations across the city, after riding just three stops south passengers can connect to the east-west running Bloor-Danforth.

Alternatively, 47 St. Clair West is an enviable address for those who drive. St. Clair West intersects with many fast-paced roadways: for example, when heading south through the downtown core, Avenue Road becomes the exceptionally wide-laned University Avenue. Conversely, Avenue leads north to the 401. An even faster route to a highway from the Westclair Condos involves taking Bayview Avenue until one finds an on-ramp for the Don Valley Parkway, which typically takes about ten minutes to reach.
