The Details
Crafting History into Home
A historical edifice reborn, it once held a turn-of-the-century malthouse, and today, it stands as an enduring testament to design elegance, expertly intertwining the revered past with the 21st-century! This secluded residence spans over 1,400 square feet, enhanced by a 340 square foot rooftop terrace topped with stunning unobstructed views. Step through your private entrance to find a space where every detail is carefully crafted, including a meticulously designed chef’s kitchen, subtle hints of exposed brick, piano-style staircases, a centre skylight and 10-foot lofty heights melding historical magic with contemporary swagger. Beyond the generous living space are two secluded bedrooms, double-flex spaces, Pinterest-worthy washrooms, and a huge walk-in closet, showcasing the home’s adaptable and effortless design! Forget your long commutes – situated on two priority streetcar routes, between two planned Ontario Line stations and effortless access to the Don Valley Parkway, Gardiner Expressway, and Bayview Extension! An easy 2-kilometre walk to the Financial District plus the trendy neighbourhoods of Leslieville, Distillery and St. Lawrence Market around the corner! Its Victorian exterior, a display of classic brickwork, is a relic of the Don Brewery, a structure born from the architectural minds of Smith & Gemmell in 1876 and converted into TEN loft-style townhomes in 2006. Consider altering the third-floor walk-in closet to a third bedroom; the lower level is perfect for a roommate or family member!
Your home should tell a story of who you are and be a collection of what you love.
