4101 Sheppard Avenue E & 4091 Sheppard Avenue E

While some prospective residents in search of a home want nothing but the newest and shiniest tower, there’s another camp that prefers a building that’s tried and true. There’s no doubt that the 4091-4101 Sheppard Avenue East Condos — a 21-storey tower built back in 1976 — caters to the latter group.

When WB Sullivan Construction Ltd. created the concrete and glass tower at 4101 Sheppard Avenue East and 4091 Sheppard Avenue East in Scarborough, these developers were sure to include more than just 326 Toronto condos. The building is also home to a long list of amenities including a gym, indoor pool, sauna, table tennis room, tennis court, and visitor parking.

Yet another benefit to living in an older building is the more generous suite sizes found inside. No home at 4101 Sheppard Ave East and 4091 Sheppard Ave East measures in at less than 850 square feet, with the largest suites reaching to around 1,350 square feet. That said, there’s still plenty of choice, with a single resident able to opt for a studio and a family feeling comfortable in a three bedroom plus den home down the hall. While dens can be used as libraries, home offices, art studios, or home theatres, some are even large enough to serve as extra bedrooms.

Regardless of their measurements, all of the homes at 4101 Sheppard Ave East and 4091 Sheppard Ave East feel bright and airy thanks to floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows. But perhaps the most interesting feature of the building is the split-level style layout found in many of the homes. In these suites, dining areas and kitchens are slightly raised, with living rooms situated a couple of steps down. Railings are positioned between the two areas, resulting in a home that’s divided into distinctive rooms, yet still open.
