Part of 1 Hotel Toronto, this modern and spacious condo suite is located in a boutique building tucked away from the street in a bustling area of downtown Toronto.
Highlights include hardwood floors, exposed concrete ceilings, a large deck with multiple exits spanning the width of the unit, full bathrooms in both bedrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout.
“I bought the condominium from a plan in 2009. The entrance to the residential units is private, it never gets crowded to go unnoticed to get the mail or walk my dogs. Alternatively, I could meet my guests in the hotel lobby while the elevators are combined,” says home owner Robin Kay, founder of Toronto Fashion Week and the Fashion Design Council of Canada.
“I chose this condo because the building is dog friendly and has a good size park across the street. The east-west balcony on the south front is wide, allowing for dining and lounging areas,” he said.
“The condo is very well built, practically soundproof for a bustling area. I enjoyed the small specialty bakeries, coffee shops and many restaurants just steps away, and often ordered from the restaurant downstairs,” added Kay.
There are just 25 residential units in the 15-story glass-and-brick building that also includes hotel rooms and office space. There is a concierge for the residential units, and shared hotel amenities include an outdoor pool, fitness center, party/meeting room, and rooftop terrace/garden.
The building is within walking distance to many trendy restaurants and shops, with easy access to public transportation and the Gardiner Expwy.
“What makes this condo really special is the abundance of natural light throughout, as it is rare to find a condo in the city with south, east and west exposures. Combine that with 10-foot ceilings throughout, it creates a dramatic, gallery-like space,” says real estate agent Sameer Ismail.
The front doors of the suite open to a large living room. Tucked away to one side is a closet, a two-piece bathroom, and a laundry room.
A partial wall separates the living room from the office, which includes a hardwood floor, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an exit to the garden.
The living room has a hardwood floor, floor to ceiling windows and an exit to the garden door.
The open concept dining room has floor to ceiling windows and a hardwood floor.
The kitchen features a four seater breakfast bar, quartz countertops, pendant lights, hardwood flooring, and stainless steel appliances.
Highlights of the master bedroom include a hardwood floor, a wall of closets, another built-in closet organizer with drawers, floor-to-ceiling windows, an exit to the garden, and a four-piece bathroom.
Secondary bedroom features hardwood floors, floor to ceiling window, and a four piece bath.
