In the heart of Toronto’s Historic Distillery District, this 28th-floor condo suite has a large wraparound balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows with views of both the city and Toronto Harbour
The two-bedroom condo is in the 36-storey The Gooderham that was built in 2014 on top of a historic distillery building and features a display of the original, restored spirits barrels in the lobby.
“Living in this trendy, urban neighbourhood was perfect for our busy, fast-paced lifestyle because everything was at our fingertips — the TTC is steps away going to the downtown core, restaurants are at our doorstep, as well as shops, cafés and breweries,” said homeowner Emily Crighton. “The Distillery District is well known for hosting events year-round, including the famous Christmas Market which is a winter wonderland that people from around the world come to see.
“During the pandemic we appreciated our unit, and building, as it was great to have space for a home office which did not interfere or take away from our living space. Staying active was
also much easier ... we were fortunate to enjoy a lot of outdoor space with the massive Canary Park and Don River Trails a close walk away. “The building is a nice community of resident owners and renters, with a mix of working professionals, young families, singles, and couples,” she added.
The building is also close to George Brown College, St. Lawrence Market, Lake Ontario, Corktown Common, a YMCA, an aquatic centre, Cherry Beach, an off-leash dog park and the Gardiner Expressway.
“The large L-shaped balcony has space for a good number of chairs and a dining table. From the hall, the unit has a small built-in nook that could be used for additional workspace that does not interfere with the living area,” said listing agent Isaac Quan. “Most people familiar with condo units in this area would be pleasantly surprised to see how spacious and open this unit is.”
Building amenities include a 24-hour concierge, an exercise
room and gym, a media room, an outdoor pool, a party/meeting room, a rooftop terrace with panoramic views, and guest suites.
The foyer to this unit features a double closet and the hall has a recessed nook that could accommodate a computer desk.
Hardwood floors run throughout the open-design layout. The living room includes a pendant light fixture, two sliding glass door walkouts to the balcony, and floor-toceiling windows on two walls.
The dining area includes three floor-to-ceiling windows.
Highlights of the kitchen include granite counters, a granite slab backsplash with laminate wood above, seamless cabinetry, plenty of counter space, hardwood floor, a pendant light fixture, room for an island/ breakfast bar, and built-in stainless steel appliances.
The primary bedroom is entered from the dining area through sliding doors. Highlights include hardwood floor, a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows,
a walk-in closet, and a five-piece ensuite with a separate soaker tub and a glassenclosed shower stall.
The secondary bedroom off the living room — currently used as a home office — features frosted-glass sliding entry doors, hardwood floor, floor-toceiling windows, a double closet and direct access to a threepiece ensuite that can also be entered from the foyer.
There is access to a separate laundry room from the foyer, and the suite comes with an underground parking space and storage locker.
