sk anyone searching for real estate these days, and they know that real estate in The Junction is incredibly hot. AND IT SHOULD BE! The area is characterized by a rich Toronto history going back to the 1870's. Learn more about The Junction on the pages that follow.
This particular home has been in the same family since the late 1970's. Through the decades it has been rented out as an income property, so it needs some work. The home is being sold as-is, so it's best to consider it a blank canvas to create your dream home! It's time for a new family to create their own story at 589 Runnymede Road. Carefully consider the material enclosed in the magazine, and if you have other questions contact your Real Estate Agent.. If you do not have a Realtor I am pleased to assist. - JIM

THENEIGHBOURHOOD 3 THINGS RESIDENTS LOVE ABOUT THE JUNCTION. Fantastic Restaurants
One of my personal favourite restaurants when I m in the mood for a pizza is Vesuvio s on Dundas West. '
'
Incredible pizza. Do yourself a favour and try the white pizza, potato and fennel sausage. It s incredible. Vesuvio s is one of the insitutions in this neighbourhood. '
'
Dundas St West If you appreciate an eclectic mix of stores, cafe s, bakeries, and restaurants, then you will love walking Dundas West through The Junction.
HISTORY OF THE JUNCTION According to Wikipedia:
'
This stretch of street near Dundas and Pacific feels more like walking down an old small town main street, with many long time store owners still caring for their customers of many decades. -
Bloor West Village Bloor West Village is just down the street from 589 Runnymede Road. It is an affluent area of Toronto. This street boasts some of Toronto s best bakeries. One of the amazing bakeries to check out is Bread and Roses. If you love a ham and cheese croissant, then you may find, as I do, that Bread and Roses offers one of Toronto s best! '

As with most Toronto neighbourhoods outside of the central downtown core, the area was primarily rural until the 1870s. John Scarlett was the first land owner and employer in the area and built his home "Runnymede" in 1838, near where Dundas Street West and St. John's Road meet today.[1] By 1817 he had acquired most of property that is now the Junction and much more to the north and west to the Humber River. From 1857 to 1876 the Carlton Race Course dominated the southeast of the neighbourhood. The race track was owned by the Keele family (William Conway Keele and his son Charles Keele). The track was the site of the first Queen's Plate. Following the arrival of the railways in the 1880s, the old racetrack and surrounding area was developed by Daniel Webster Clendenan, who would be elected the first reeve of the village of West Toronto Junction, and first mayor of the town of Junction in 1889.[2] The approximate locations of the two main straightaways of the track are now High Park Avenue and Pacific Avenue (between Glenlake Road and Annette Street). The Village of West Toronto Junction was founded in 1884 at the intersection of Dundas and Keele Streets.[3] In 1889, it merged with the nearby villages of Carlton and Davenport to the north-east to become the Town of West Toronto Junction. It grew further, into the Town of Toronto Junction in 1892, then the City of West Toronto in 1908 before it was amalgamated with the Toronto one year later in 1909.

ACCESS TO DOWNTOWN T.O. By Jim Emilson | Sales Representative | Royal Lepage Estate Realty
This offers privacy, cooler summer evenings, and the beauty of watching the changing of the leaves during the different seasons in your back yard.
The better way is close at hand when you purchase a home in The Junction. The trend in Toronto is definitely away from the car. Millennials in particular are choosing to use car-share services or UBER, making proximity to public transit possibly more important than it has ever been.
You are within easy driving distance to many of the leading hospitals in Canada. Healthcare is huge, access to world leading healthcare is priceless.
This home is a quick walk south to the Bloor-Danforth line Runnymede Stop. From there you can go anywhere in the city that the TTC services. If you consider purchasing this home, or another area home, you will no doubt become very familiar with Toronto's glorious old subway trains. Good Riding to you!

At age 17 Jim started his first company, selling it successfully 7 years later at age 24. Then Jim totally switched directions, joining a small Quebec based start-up. After a few years of dedicated effort, Jim helped that company to drive dramatic sales growth across Canada, which led to his appointment overseeing sales growth in the USA and internationally. He credits those years with teaching him the art of negotiation. Jim uses these skills everyday to help his clients.
