Thorncrest Village Real Estate

Overview

Thorncrest Village is one of Toronto's most exclusive neighbourhoods with just over two hundred homeowners. It is also one of Toronto's prettier neighbourhoods with winding tree-lined roads that are whimsically decorated with cast-iron street lamps and wood post signs that combine to create a countrified charm.

It is interesting to note that all of the streets in Thorncrest Village have an east-west orientation. This was planned intentionally so that all of the houses in this neighbourhood would benefit from a direct south exposure.

Homes

Thorncrest's sweeping, tree-lined streets and expansive lots provide an idyllic backdrop for its varied collection of houses. The original Thorncrest houses include ranch-style bungalows and modernist-style homes from the late 1940's and the 1950's. These houses are gradually being replaced by larger brick and stone executive-style houses.

Thorncrest Village houses are subject to three site-specific zoning by-laws that are the legacy of a former building covenant which was deeded to every Thorncrest property owner. Detailed information on these bylaws can be obtained by phoning the City of Toronto's Etobicoke planning office.
