English Lane Townhomes on David Dunlap Circle
English Lane, completed in 2002, is a community of luxury freehold townhomes on David Dunlap Circle in Don Mills. They are tall, 3 storey attractive grey-stuccoed homes with private drives. The design is reminiscent of the Georgian townhomes one might find in Bath or Cheltenham.
Homes vary in size from 1800 sq. ft. to 3500 sq. ft., but most are in the 2200 sq. ft. size. The living areas feature an attractive open plan design with a walk-out to a decked or terraced back yard. Most of these townhomes have three bedrooms (there are a few with four), three bathrooms, a 2nd floor den and a finished basement with a walk-out to a built-in garage.
Many of these homes have been seriously updated with hardwood floors throughout and granite kitchens with stainless steel appliances.
There is the added benefit of being within walking distance of the fabulous newly built
Don Mills Centre where you have a great choice in restaurants. Try the the Irish influenced
Jack Astors Bar and Grill "with its diversified and eclectic" menu or, for a more sophisticated taste, there's the upscale Asian influenced
Linda.
Don Mills Centre also boasts lots of great clothes and shoe shops. The fabulous
Salomon Sports has it's very own store, there's a
Banana Republic and if your taste is for high end bags, there's Coach.
In a time of burgeoning house prices, English Lane Townhomes represent excellent value for a newer home. Prices now average in the $549,000 range with the highest selling price in the mid $560,000s.
