Description

The Montpellier is a 1-bedroom apartment in the basement of a detached family home.
We are looking for a single person with no pets, non-smoking, no late-night parties.

The home is located in a mature, quiet Doncrest neighbourhood of the City of Richmond Hill, North of Toronto.
The closest major intersection is Bayview and Highway 7.

The unit has a bedroom with ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet, and an open-concept living, dining, kitchen space, laundry room, and storage area..
There is a private entrance on the side of the house.
Most importantly, the unit has an egress window providing emergency escape.

Accessibility

There are stairs outside (6 steps) to access the side entrance door.
There are stairs inside (14 steps) to access the apartment.
This unit is not accessible by wheelchair and would also be difficult to access for people with reduced mobility (e.g. walker, cane).

The landlord will do his best to clear snow in a timely fashion.
However, if you require passage prior to him completing the job, you may be required to shovel:

  • the walkway between the driveway to the side entrance
  • the driveway to/from the street

At the corner of Hazelmere and Valleymede (within 50 meters), there is a bus stop for York Region Transit bus route #82.

Parking

The apartment includes one outside parking space in the driveway of the home.
The space is only suitable for a small car (4.5 meters/14.75 feet and shorter).
If you have a longer car or have guests, you will have to arrange for alternate parking, possibly with a neighbour.
Overnight and longer-than-3-hour parking in the street is prohibited. Please read the Town of Richmond Hill's parking bylaws.
