The Details
A Reverent Reimagination
In a city filled with repetition, Loft 112 stands quietly apart. There is no question that there is nothing quite like it. Full stop. Once the Riverdale Presbyterian Church, this remarkable 2004 Bob Mitchell conversion remains a study in adaptive reuse and timeless artistry. Inside, texture tells the story: exposed brick walls, sculptural staircases, warm hardwood flooring, and stainless steel accents anchor its generous rooms & cozy alcoves. Sunlight washes through floor-to-ceiling windows from the upper and lower level outdoor spaces, catching the patina of vintage woods, curated bookshelves, and collected art throughout. The result is an enviable residence from top to bottom that feels soulful yet deliberate.
Spanning 2,250+ square feet and another 492 outdoors, this multi-level residence unfolds with intention. The open kitchen, outfitted with marble counters, a generous geometric island, and bar seating for two, flows into a dramatic dining area framed by impressive 17-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls and soft track lighting, while a dual-sided gas fireplace hums with quiet elegance.
Upstairs, the 800+ square-foot primary suite feels like a private atelier with a four-piece ensuite, walk-in closet, an open-air office and a stunning East-Facing terrace walk-out.
Every level reveals new layers of design and purpose, balancing grandeur with function. The main floor’s secondary bedroom, enclosed by sliding doors with a three-piece ensuite and laundry nearby, offers flexibility for guests, creative pursuits, or even a private screening room.
A bonus living area provides a versatile extension of the home’s main space, ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or creating a dedicated media or listening lounge. Thoughtfully designed for both comfort and connection, the area easily adapts to a variety of lifestyles, from quiet nights to casual gatherings with friends and conversation.
Below grade, an unexpected brick-walled wine cellar provides an atmospheric retreat, easily reimagined as a reading room or home gym.
Your thoughtful essentials include two bedrooms + den, two full washrooms, one underground parking space, and a storage locker. The double terraces offer room to dine al fresco, while the private garden with street access brings a touch of seclusion & simplicity to urban living (especially for those with a four-legged companion).
Tucked within the walkable district of Pape Village and moments from the subway, the future Ontario Line, Withrow Park and the Danforth’s culinary corridor, this address balances heritage and convenience with ease!
As the largest suite in the building, bar none and unseen on the market since 2006, Loft 112 remains a singular expression of Toronto’s architectural evolution. In this residence, history, art, and modern life move in an effortless cadence, impossible to replicate (and never to duplicate).
Your home should tell a story of who you are and be a collection of what you love.

The Building: The Glebe Lofts
This extraordinary conversion of the iconic Riverdale Presbyterian Church, orchestrated by Bob Mitchell and his firm, Mitchell Lofts, redefines the traditional concept of urban living.
The Glebe Lofts, completed in 2004, have artfully repurposed the historic building into a residential marvel, with each of the 32 multilevel loft residences bearing unique characteristics that pay homage to the original architecture by John Wilson Gray while simultaneously offering a fresh and contemporary flair.
The Riverdale Presbyterian congregation continues to worship in the northern part of the building, adjacent to the lofts, in the space that used to be the apse in the original sanctuary.
Stepping into the magnificent structure, one can’t help but feel immersed in the grandeur of its past. The loft conversion preserves the awe-inspiring essence of the former church, with each residence celebrating the ascending heights of the original sanctuary, encompassing two stories, and fostering a sense of openness and spiritual elevation reminiscent of the building’s erstwhile function.
Each residence is a masterstroke of architectural acumen designed to optimize the dramatic interplay of light and volume. The open-plan concept ingeniously uses the impressive spatial scale inherent to the church’s architecture. These lofts are not merely a nod to the past but incorporate modern amenities and cutting-edge design elements such as solid masonry walls, thermopane windows, superior thermal and acoustic insulation, and high-efficiency heating systems.
A tour of the third-story lofts reveals exposed steel trusses, serving as a stark reminder of the building’s original purpose – this blend of preserved history with urban design results in functional, beautiful, and deeply evocative spaces.
The Glebe Lofts are more than mere residences; they are experiences, each one offering a slice of history to inhabit and reinterpret in a contemporary context. Bob Mitchell’s journey of transforming industrial and institutional buildings into residential marvels spans over three decades. His design firm, Mitchell Lofts, previously known as Mitchell & Associates, has a rich legacy marked by pioneering the first legal loft condominium conversion in Toronto and earning accolades for design excellence and innovation.
A veteran planner with hands-on experience in retrofitting and converting buildings into residential condominiums, Mitchell’s work embodies the symbiosis between heritage and modernity.
The Glebe Lofts hold a distinct position in Toronto’s residential landscape. Its unique combination of historical integrity, innovative design, and luxurious features, paired with its prime location near the subway and the cosmopolitan life of the Danforth, makes it an unparalleled choice for those seeking a residence steeped in character and convenience.
To live at The Glebe Lofts is to live within a work of art – a harmonious blend of history, architectural splendour, and modern living.

Tucked between the heritage heart of Riverdale and the vibrant pulse of Greektown sits one of Toronto’s most magnetic pockets. It’s where historic character meets modern confidence, where brick facades and bold design coexist side-by-side. Think tree-lined streets, restored Victorians, contemporary lofts, and the kind of charm that never tries too hard.
As you wander down this neighbourhood’s picturesque lanes, you are immediately struck by the kaleidoscope of architectural styles on display. Grand Victorian and Edwardian homes rub shoulders with minimalist, modern dwellings, their brick façades narrating stories of the district’s rich history. This architectural dynamism of the area is an homage to its heritage and a nod to its forward-looking spirit, a stylish embodiment of Toronto’s past and future coming together.
Beyond the architectural charm of this district is the palpable cultural vibrancy borrowed from Greektown. The scent of freshly baked spanakopita and moussaka wafts through the air as lively tavernas and gourmet eateries line the sun-dappled avenues. The local dining scene is a paradise for foodies, presenting an inviting fusion of homey eateries, upscale dining spots, and ethnic food joints. The restaurants here serve a spectrum of culinary delights, from sumptuous Italian pasta and vibrant Middle Eastern mezze to traditional Greek fare and avant-garde cuisine.
Adding to the district’s rich tapestry are the delightful coffee houses that dot the neighbourhood. From cozy, rustic nooks to sleek, modern establishments, these cafes are the lifeblood of the district’s social scene. Grab a latte at Pilot Coffee Roasters, a loukoumades at Loukoumania Café, or a weekend brunch at Mamakas Taverna before a glass of something local at Louis Cifer Brew Works. When the sun sets, the patios fill, the lights twinkle, and the neighbourhood takes on that effortless, European-meets-Toronto vibe. And just around the corner, you have an IlFornello, a Starbucks and Foodland just steps away from your front door, making city life (an easy one)!
On balmy evenings, the festive echo of live music can be heard reverberating off the walls of beautifully maintained brick houses, infusing the neighbourhood with a friendly and welcoming spirit. Bountiful parks, leafy green spaces, and verdant community gardens punctuate the urban dwellings, lending a softness to the district’s city grit. Withrow Park and Riverdale Park East are the neighbourhood’s backyard, full of runners, picnics, live art performances, bonfires and sunset skyline views.
This neighbourhood is more than just a residential haven; it’s a testament to Toronto’s multicultural ethos and architectural vibrancy. The meeting of Riverdale and Greektown is truly a confluence of charm and vitality, a residential experience that is ethnically diverse, gastronomically vibrant, and culturally rich. The district is a delightful fusion of architecture, cuisine, and community, offering a living experience as varied and exciting as the city itself.
