Caffeine fanatics rejoice &mdash; you have a pirate&rsquo;s bounty of cozy cafes for your morning espresso; there&rsquo;s The Coffee Bouquets just across the street, and Coffee Tree Roastery, Coffee Time, Second Cup, and Timothy&rsquo;s are only a couple of blocks east. If you&rsquo;re a loyal patron and can&rsquo;t go without a double, don&rsquo;t worry, there&rsquo;s a Tim Hortons just 2 minutes away &mdash; a statement that could likely be made about every condo in the city.For movies nights, you have Humber Cinemas for a Hollywood blockbuster or a timeless classic. After a hard week, the drinks always go down smoother, and you&rsquo;ll find many places nearby for a craft beer or cocktail like The Station, Bryden's, A Dark Horse, Home Smith Bar, and Fou Bar. Or if nightlife holds no power over you and you&rsquo;re a recreation machine &mdash; there&rsquo;s a wide array of sports facilities and athletic clubs in the neighbourhood.Green spaces are plentiful here, and while there are many parks to choose from, it&rsquo;s impossible to ignore High Park &mdash; offering over 400 acres of parklands, High Park is one of the best, if not the best park in the city; within this sizeable park you&rsquo;ll find tree lined walking trails, sports fields, a small zoo, an event stage, manicured gardens, a swimming pool, and as much open green grass as you could ever need.

Given that this building is one of the pricier properties in west end Toronto, it&rsquo;s probably not a great option for first time home buyers or those on a tight budget who are seeking <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos-for-sale">Toronto condos for sale</a>; however, for those who can afford it, these <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/luxury-condos">luxurious condos</a> are sure to please. And with suite sizes that range from 569 square feet to a staggering 3749, you&rsquo;ll never feel cramped.Within these units, buyers can expect to find dark hardwood floors, walls of floor to ceiling windows, open concept layouts, upgraded kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, 9 foot ceilings, oversized private terraces, and ensuite laundry.Because this building was completed in 2014, all units are move in ready &mdash; you won&rsquo;t find a fixer upper here. But with such a desirable location and great amenities, these units are an excellent investment even without putting in some sweat equity.

One Old Mill has a sticker worthy Walk Score of 87 &mdash; as a resident of this building you can easily run errands on foot; considering how many stores and service based businesses are nearby, it might actually be easier to get things done without a vehicle. For grocery pickups you have Nicholson's No Frills, Max&rsquo;s Market, and Shoppers Drug Mart close-by on Bloor.What&rsquo;s better than a pedestrian friendly location? A location that&rsquo;s also a public transit users paradise. Those who rely on public transit can stroll out of their lobby doors for immediate service; there are east and westbound buses on Bloor, north and southbound buses on Jane, and Jane Station is only a 2 minute walk for subway service.Car owners will have to navigate their way through some city traffic, but heading south on the S Kingsway will have you on the Gardiner Expressway in less than 15 minutes.

Regular condominum, very good! Nothing too crazy or unexpected, good place to live
