35 Empress Ave

35 Empress Avenue, Suite 407 A south-west corner suite at one of Yonge and Empress's most established Menkes-built addresses, set in the heart of Willowdale East — the kind of neighbourhood that has quietly anchored North York condo living for two decades and continues to draw buyers looking for genuine space, transit access, and the convenience of midtown north. The unit spans over 1,000 square feet across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a split-bedroom layout that gives each side of the suite its own sense of privacy. The renovation has been carried out thoughtfully and recently. A new kitchen anchors the main living area, finished with quartz counters, new appliances, and a generous breakfast area that flows openly into the combined living and dining room. Smooth ceilings, pot lighting, and custom closets in both bedrooms add the kind of considered upgrades that distinguish a well-renovated unit from a builder-standard resale. The layout is genuinely uncommon for the building — this is a floor plan that rarely comes to market, and the corner exposure with south and west light gives the suite a brightness that holds through the day. The primary bedroom serves as its own retreat with a private ensuite, and the broader floor plan leaves enough flex space for a functional home office without sacrificing the openness of the main living areas. Designated parking is included. The location speaks for itself. Yonge subway access is minutes away, Empress Walk and the full Yonge and Sheppard retail corridor sit at the doorstep, and the dense restaurant and grocery network that defines this stretch of North York is genuinely walkable. A renovated corner suite in a building that has earned its reputation — and on a floor plan that doesn't surface often.
