With three separate balconies and a large terrace, this penthouse condo is part of a newer boutique building across from the prestigious The Toronto Hunt golf club. Unobstructed views of Lake Ontario, floor-toceiling windows, an open-concept contemporary living area, and a spacious den are some of the suite’s highlights.
“We never get tired of the fabulous panoramic views of the lake, treetops, and golf course from every room,” says homeowner Peter Tomlinson. “Being a penthouse unit allows us to enjoy the privacy of sharing our floor with only one neighbour. … We often shop and dine in the nearby trendy Beach neighbourhood and love visiting Bluffer's Park.”
The home is walking distance to a library, stores and restaurants along Kingston Rd., and is a few minutes drive to shops along Danforth Ave. There are also many parks nearby, as well as Silver Birch Beach, a hospital, Birchmount Stadium, two community centres, an indoor skating arena, public transit and schools. As well, the building has easy access to the Don Valley Pkwy. and Lake Shore Blvd. E.
“This eight-storey condo development is appropriately named the Residences at the Hunt Club, built by Infinity Development Group. It is an intimate building, consisting of just 75 units,” says listing agent Paul Sabiston. “This unit has seven walkouts and a large laundry room with full-size appliances, and a main bedroom with a huge walk-in closet.”
The building has a gym plus an indoor and outdoor rooftop party/meeting room.
Inside the suite, the foyer has hardwood flooring with a double sliding door mirrored closet on one side and a two-piece bathroom on the other.
Features of the living room include hardwood flooring, a recessed wall with pot lights — ideal for an entertainment nook — a sliding glass-door walkout to a balcony flanked by a floor-to-ceiling window, and a reading area in front of a floorto-ceiling window that overlooks the kitchen.
The dining room is surrounded by glass and flooded with natural light. It also has hardwood flooring, a box ceiling with modern chandelier, sliding glass-door walkouts to two separate balconies plus another walkout to the terrace.
Highlights of the modern white kitchen include hardwood flooring, quartz counters, a four-seat island/breakfast bar, glossy seamless cabinetry, ceramic subway tile backsplash, a double integrated sink, a pantry and stainless steel appliances.
On the other side of the suite, the primary bedroom features double entry doors, a hall that opens to the walk-in closet with organizers, a hardwood floor, wall sconces and a sliding glassdoor walkout bordered by a floor-to-ceiling window. The five-piece ensuite is outfitted with double vanity sinks, quartz counters, plus separate tub and shower.
The large second bedroom features hardwood flooring, a box ceiling, wall sconces, a double mirrored closet, a sliding glass-door walkout to a balcony and a floor-to-ceiling window.
The large den can serve as a home office or a family room and features hardwood flooring, a sliding glass-door walkout to a balcony and a floor-to-ceiling window.
There is another four-piece bathroom with twin vanity sinks.
All outdoor spaces have unobstructed views of the golf course’s pond and mature trees, as well as Lake Ontario. One of the three balconies stretches half the width of the unit and the large terrace features a stone tile floor, a glass rail, a gas barbecue hookup with a new barbecue, and plenty of room for lounging and dining.
The unit comes with two underground parking spaces and a locker.
