A Fully Reimagined Condo in Banbury–Don Mills

What does it feel like to live in a fully reimagined condo in Banbury–Don Mills?
It feels calm, intentional, and surprisingly spacious. A home where every detail has been considered, and nothing feels like an afterthought.

Located at 245 The Donway West, Unit 311 is a rare offering in Toronto’s condo market. This true 2+1 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers approximately 1,500 square feet of interior space and underwent a complete redesign in 2018 with a focus on how people actually live.

This wasn’t a cosmetic update. The redesign team reworked the entire floor plan to create a more natural flow between spaces. They opened walls, extended sightlines, and gave each area a clear purpose. What you notice immediately is the scale. Wide-plank flooring runs throughout, grounding the space, while soft natural light from the northwest exposure moves easily across the open living, dining, and kitchen areas.

A Kitchen Designed for Everyday Living

The kitchen was designed to be used, not just admired. It offers generous prep space, a large peninsula that doubles as a breakfast area, and extensive storage that keeps everything tucked away but within reach.

Durable porcelain slab countertops and integrated cabinetry create a clean, seamless feel while remaining highly functional for everyday cooking.

Custom millwork continues throughout the home. Built-in storage, integrated closets, and a thoughtfully designed office area with a rotating slat divider create separation without closing things off. The space adapts easily — whether you’re working from home, hosting friends, or simply moving through your day.

Space That Adapts to Your Life

The living and dining areas feel open but intentional. There’s room to gather, but also room to step back. This is where the size of the unit truly stands out. It offers a kind of flexibility that’s increasingly difficult to find in newer Toronto condos.

Both bathrooms were completely rebuilt with clean, modern finishes. The primary bedroom feels quiet and comfortably scaled, while the second bedroom and separate den provide real options — a nursery, guest room, or dedicated workspace. Whatever stage of life you’re in, the layout supports it.

There’s also a detail you don’t often see in condo living: a private in-unit sauna. It’s subtle, but it adds a layer of comfort that naturally becomes part of your daily routine.

A Well-Managed Building with a True Community Feel

Beyond the unit itself, the building offers something different from many newer developments. It’s established, well-managed, and quiet. This smaller, community-oriented environment encourages long-term residency. Residents know their neighbours. There’s a sense of familiarity here that larger towers rarely replicate.

A Neighbourhood Known for Livability

The location in Banbury–Don Mills plays a big part in the appeal. This is one of Toronto’s most established residential neighbourhoods, known for tree-lined streets, access to green space, and overall livability.

From your door, you’re minutes to Edwards Gardens, Sunnybrook Park, and an extensive network of ravine trails where you can walk for hours without crossing a major road.

Daily life feels simple here. The Shops at Don Mills sits close by, offering a mix of restaurants, cafés, and everyday essentials. Metro and Shoppers Drug Mart are both within walking distance. For families, Norman Ingram Public School is nearby, along with other highly regarded school options in the area.

Transit is straightforward. TTC routes along Don Mills connect to both Line 4 and the upcoming Eglinton LRT, while quick access to the DVP and Highway 401 makes getting across the city efficient.

Included with the Home

Unit 311 includes one underground parking space (and has built-in exception for 2 cars) and one locker. Maintenance fees support an easy lock-and-leave lifestyle. You won’t need to worry about exterior upkeep or seasonal maintenance; just a home that functions the way it should.

For downsizers, it offers the space of a house without the responsibility.
For young families, it provides a comfortable entry into one of Toronto’s most livable neighbourhoods.
