MODERN TOWNHOUSE HAS ROOFTOP TERRACE
“Riverside is a booming neighbourhood situated between Leslieville and Corktown, only 1.6 miles to downtown,” says listing agent Bram Siskind.
“It’s perfect for professionals, downsizers or new families who don’t want to live in a highrise condominium and are looking for a unique high-quality home in a fantastic location with unobstructed views from their rooftop terrace.”
The private 400-squarefoot terrace has Ipe wood decking, a barbecue hook up and two green roof gardens for plants and vegetables, he says.
“The demand for modern architecture throughout Toronto is on the rise,” Siskind says, “and this masterpiece delivers. The family room has a wall-to-wall, floor-toceiling window that brings light and expanse to the room.”
In-floor heating throughout the main level and the “brilliant use of storage space in every room” are practical features that its occupants will enjoy.
A central steel staircase provides access to all levels of the 1,464-sq.-ft. house, he says. “Along with large, strategically placed windows, it is designed to allow natural light to filter throughout the unit.”
The 16x40-ft. lot has a parking spot. The site has come a long way from being home to an auto repair garage.
“The building reaffirms the continued relevance of Le Corbusier’s points of modern architecture — spatial continuity without dead spaces, buildings lifted from the ground, usable roofs, floor plans free of structural restriction and elevations with freely placed windows. The units are organized vertically like urban treehouses.”
Siskind says the complex, which has four townhouses, was created by team of GSL Architect and Chapi Chapo Design.
“The credentials of this design team (which has worked with such brands as Park Hyatt, Ritz-Carlton, Givenchy and Lancome) should give the buyer a comfort level that quality and design ingenuity are always front and centre.”
