The Tridel-built highrise includes environmentally friendly building materials and ventilation systems. It is also “smart-wired” to allow residents remote access and control of their homes’ temperature, lights, blinds and music by phone.
“It was a seamless transition moving to this condo from a house — with over 2,000 square feet of living space and 10-foot ceilings, we have never felt like we were downsizing,” homeowner Marissa Pineda says.
“We have a big, close-knit family, and we like getting together often. Watching fireworks displays across Toronto from the wraparound balcony is one our favourite activities. We have unobstructed views of the CN Tower and most of Toronto. As well, we have a second private balcony off the kitchen — the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee.
“The location is very convenient as it is a short walk to the TTC, shops and restaurants, including a new Whole Foods that opened at the end of the block. The majority of the people occupying this building are owners, many with families.”
Amenities in the building include a 24-hour concierge, a games room, guest suites, a gym, an indoor pool, a party/meeting room, a library/study room, a media room and visitor parking.
“The owner has bragging rights for having one of the largest size terraces in the area. There’s a hookup for a gas barbecue and space for a good num- ber of chairs and a large dining table,” listing agent Isaac Quan says.
“The unit also has many upgrades and some of those include customdesigned cabinets and shelving in the den and living room, and custom built-ins in the master bedroom and secondary bedroom walk-in closets,” Quan adds.
The front door of the suite opens to the foyer with marble tile floor, crown mouldings, a walk-in closet, access to the double-door laundry room and also to a powder room.
A 10-foot ceiling adds to the spaciousness of the living room that also has a wide-plank hardwood floor, a custom-built entertainment cabinet, floor-to-ceiling windows on two walls, crown moulding and a garden door walkout to a wraparound terrace.
The adjoining dining room also has a wide-plank hardwood floor, crown moulding, high ceilings, smart lights, a modern chandelier-type light and a floor-to-ceiling window.
Modern and sizable, the kitchen can be entered from the dining room or from the foyer’s double French doors. Highlights include granite counters, a marble tile floor, pot lights, ceramic tile backsplash, a large island, custom-built wood cabinetry with ample storage space, an integrated fridge and stainless steel appliances that include a built-in oven.
A breakfast nook is just off the kitchen and has a marble tile floor, crown moulding, a floor-to-ceiling window, a pendant light, double sinks, crown moulding and a garden door walkout to a separate balcony.
The den is accessed through double French doors from the dining room and has custom, built-in, floor-toceiling shelves with undermount lights, pendant lights and a hardwood floor.
Two walk-in closets, with custom built-ins, are in the master bedroom that also has a large window and a four-piece ensuite with a separate shower stall and tub.
