With about 600 square feet of terraces facing the lake, it feels like you’re on a ship. Inside, it feels more like a luxury home than a condo apartment, says listing agent Elizabeth Cowan of Royal LePage Real Estate Services.
Lake and city views can be enjoyed from the terraces, as well as through walls of glass in several rooms, including the living/dining/ sunroom. Owners and guests alike will want to turn the chairs around to face out so they can enjoy the beautiful views.
Two units were combined into one 3,670- sq.- ft. luxury living space. The suite has so many windows that it’s bright even on a cloudy day.
Because of its size, it appeals to families but has also been enjoyed by single executives who like to entertain, Cowan says.
A foyer is a wonderful main entrance for greeting guests. A closet and two-piece bathroom make the space practical.
The gourmet kitchen has a five- burner cook top, stainl ess steel appliances and a breakfast bar for casual meals, while the dining room easily accommodates a table for eight for ore formal occasions. The master suite has a sitting area, two walk-in closets and a huge dressing room.
Cowan s ays corporate types have gravitated to the suite, appreciating the great entertaining space plus the building’s relaxed setting. They also appreciate its proximity to public transit and the financial core, Billy Bishop Airport, waterfront trails and high- end shops and restaurants.
The suite comes with two parking spaces and two lockers.
The Queens Quay Terminal building dates back to the mid-1920s. It was transformed from a warehouse into a mixed- use building in 1983. Commercial space below i ncludes a grocery store and restaurants, which will deliver for days or nights when no one wants to cook or venture out. “The Art Deco building offers one- ofa- kind grand space,” Cowan says. The owner “enjoys the full services of a true concierge in the European manner. The concierge is charged with looking after your guest, your home and your personal needs, as well as accepting deliveries on your behalf or providing the services of a car jockey.”
