One Billington Crescent is a beautiful 2 storey Semi-Detached house on a large, professionally landscaped, fenced in corner lot. Built in the 60’s, this home has been lovingly maintained and over the past decade, completely updated. Mature hedges, lush perennials and a fenced in yard allow for complete privacy for personal entertainment and relaxing enjoyment. Rarely offered is the private drive with a built in car port and parking for up to 3 (possibly 4) cars. Within the car port are custom storage cupboards perfect for storing garbage/recycling bins, bikes as well as any other outdoor tools and accessories. The Bay window in the updated kitchen overlooks the front Patio and the living area and engulfs both rooms in natural sunlight. One of the highlights of this home is the converted Loft Master Bedroom. Formerly a 3 bedroom home, two bedrooms were opened up to create a large master with 12ft Cathedral ceilings and French doors to offer entrance to a large, private wooden deck (which has been double re-enforced) . The Basement has a huge crawl space area for storage and has been refinished with a 3 piece bathroom, perfect for guests or a teenage child. This home has been tastefully renovated with no wasted space while close to all amenities at an unbelievable price. The Neighborhood has already begun to be discovered as the next undervalued pocket, with its proximity to the DVP and 401, the prestigious Donalda Golf Club, Shops at Don Mills, and its many parks, trails and schools. Broadlands Library and Community Centre ( which offers Yoga, an outdoor rink, tennis courts, a sprawling park and pool), Fenside Arena, Park and Splash Pad are all within minutes of this fabulous home.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
The Parkwoods' boundaries are formed by the Don Valley Parkway to the west, Victoria Park Avenue to the east, Highway 401 to the north, and Lawrence Avenue and the Canadian Pacific railway tracks to the south. With all these thoroughfares skirting the neighbourhood, one could easily get the impression that Parkwoods is a loud and busy place when in fact the opposite is true.
Parkwoods has a natural beauty that is derived from its location on the eastern edge of the Don River Valley. Gently rolling hills and well treed streets are common in this quiet middle-income neighbourhood.
Parkwoods residents have many shopping options. These include Victoria Terrace situated at Lawrence and Victoria Park Avenues. This shopping plaza features a huge toy shop, a food market, a bank, postal services, restaurants, and professional and medical offices.
Donwood Plaza at Underhill Drive and Lawrence Avenue is a small local plaza with a food market, professional offices, and restaurants. Victoria Park also contains some small local shopping plazas with an assortment of retailers and restaurants.
Parkway Mall located at the south-east corner of Victoria Park and Lawrence Avenues is anchored by a supermarket and a department store. This large indoor shopping mall features ladies and mens wear, specialty apparel, sporting goods, hobbies and toys, footwear, jewellery and gifts, home furnishings, stationary and books, restaurants, and professional and medical offices.
Parkwoods contains an abundance of recreational opportunities. For the fitness enthusiast there is pleasure skating available at the Fenside Arena, year-round tennis at Cassandra Park, and an outdoor pool at the Broadlands community centre. There are also a myriad of local parks with a wide range of facilities including baseball diamonds, indoor and outdoor pools, basketball, tennis courts and children's playgrounds.
Brookbanks Park, which winds its way through the centre of this neighbourhood, is a lush ravine valley with a thick cover of trees and a wood chip nature trail that is well used by neighbourhood residents. This park is accessible year-round and also features a paved path that is ideal for walking, jogging, roller-blading and cycling. During the winter residents cross-country ski and snowshoe in this winter wonderland.
The Victoria Terrace shopping centre at Lawrence and Victoria Park Avenues is anchored by six Famous Players movie theatres that screen all of the newest Hollywood pictures. The Brookbanks Public Library at 210 Brookbanks Drive includes an auditorium that is available for both children and adult programs
Local bus service along Parkwoods Village Drive, York Mills Road and Lawrence Avenue provide connecting routes to stations on the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line. The Victoria Park Avenue bus links up to the Victoria Park station on the Bloor-Danforth subway line.
