The Details
A Study In Contemporary Design
A penthouse that knows exactly who she is. A private two-storey residence in one of King West’s most desirable boutique buildings, offering over 2,800 square feet inside and 2,700+ square feet of rooftop living above it all. Big scale. Real privacy. No theatrics required. The design is crisp and confident. Clean lines. Seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A soft, neutral palette that lets the architecture speak for itself. Nothing loud. Yet nothing accidental. Inside, the proportions hit immediately. Eleven-foot ceilings. Floor-to-ceiling glass. A glass-enclosed staircase. Layered textures. Spa-inspired washrooms. Custom storage everywhere you actually need it. Modern, but warm. Polished, not precious. The main living space makes its own statement. Expansive, light-filled, and anchored by a rare dual-sided fish tank with its own private caretaker (just ask!). The kitchen understands the assignment. Dark, streamlined cabinetry, easy four-person seating, and a hidden walk-in pantry with 200-bottle wine storage. Long brunches & oversized dinner parties encouraged. The primary suite is calm and considered, with integrated wardrobes and a generous ensuite featuring a glass-in shower, dual vanity, and deep soaker tub. Two additional bedrooms are quietly tucked away, along with thoughtful extras including a Carrie Bradshaw-level dressing room, a powder room, a real front hall closet, and a full-size laundry room. Thoughtful beats showy every time. We can prove it. Then there’s the rooftop. And yes, it delivers. Fully private. Meaning, all yours. Sunny lounging and dining areas. City and CN Tower views. Designed for long evenings, late starts, and absolutely no reason to leave. Residents enjoy 24-hour concierge service, fitness facilities, and an elegant resident lounge. Two underground parking spaces and adjacent storage lockers complete the picture. Steps to the future Ontario Line station at King and Bathurst, connecting the 504 King and 511 Bathurst streetcars. Easy access to Lakeshore and the Gardiner. Walk or bike everywhere. Dogs of all sizes (& cats) are very welcome.
Architectural notes included clean, sophisticated lines, effortless indoor and outdoor transitions, and a soft, neutral colour palette devoid of clutter and contrived embellishment. A hard-to-pull-off natural swagger that is seemingly only reserved for the cool kids.
