18 Merton St #905, Toronto, ON CA Toronto Condominium

This home is located in the prime established Davisville Village neighbourhood off Yonge and a short distance from uptown shopping and nightlife. It’s a diverse neighbourhood, with a mixture of ages… young professionals, families and retirees. There are small parks to enjoy as well as recreation centres, tennis courts and outdoor pools. There are great walking places. Right across the street is the Kay Gardner Beltline park, where you can walk your  dog, meet other people, exercise, or just enjoy the snow in the winter or beautiful trees in the summer.  Enjoy walks through the historic Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Not only is it a lovely route for getting to Yonge and St. Clair, but it offers a way to connect with the history of the city and even the country through the many famous people buried there. Tours often run in the cemetery through the summer and fall.

Being located in close proximity to the Davisville subway—mere minutes walk away—makes it so easy to get around the city without the car.  It’s also one subway stop from a shopping mall, services and movie theatres, and handy to many excellent restaurants and coffee shops along Yonge. You can walk to the many local amenities, a drugstore, dry cleaners, Sobey’s as well as produce markets, a pasta place & flower shops. For shopping  - where to begin?  Antique shops, book and music shops, specialty boutiques - the list goes on and on - all along the major streets nearby - Yonge, Mt Pleasant, Bayview and Eglinton.

This is loft-style living at its best - a stunning sun-filled two-level suite! There is lots of sunlight streaming in through the soaring two-storey, almost wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows so you can enjoy passive solar heat and fabulous views of the city and the Mt. Pleasant cemetery. Gorgeous laminate floors run through the living / dining room with ceramic tile in the kitchen and a main floor three-piece bathroom and laundry area.

On the main level, the front of the suite near the windows is the full two-storey height, while the back portion, the living room, kitchen and  bathroom / laundry, is underneath the upper level. The living room and kitchen both take advantage of the open area, benefiting from the light and spacious feeling, while still enjoying a more intimate and cosy atmosphere from the traditional ceiling height. So you get to have your cake and eat it too. Even the stairs up to the upper level have open risers and open space beneath, so there is a continuous flow of light and air around the entire main level.

The main level balcony is accessible from both the kitchen and the dining area through sliding glass doors. From the balcony you can enjoy a lovely, panoramic tree-top and city view.

The galley-style kitchen is extremely functional, with gorgeous warm cherry cabinets accentuated by the sleek modern black appliances and mirrored backsplash. This kitchen is a chef’s delight, as you can chat with your guests who are relaxing in your living room or dining room, while whipping up a gourmet treat! This spectacular main floor is terrific for entertaining!

Go up the carpeted stairs (great to lessen any noise) and there are two bright, spacious bedrooms, both with comfortable carpeted floors. And here’s where you get spoiled… each one has its own private ensuite 4-piece bathroom and walk-in closet! This is the life, I tell you! Both bathrooms even have windows—you don’t get that in many condo suites these days. And the walk-ins, well that’s just icing on the cake.
The second bedroom is located over the living room, with a large window on the south side to take advantage of the light through the two-storey windows. Unlike many loft-style suites, this bedroom has the advantage of the south window wall, but the privacy-glass window provides a separation from the room it overlooks. The master bedroom is slightly larger and includes its own private walk-out to the south-facing balcony. Sit outside spring, summer and fall to enjoy the city and tree-top view.

Rounding out the impressive list of features in this home are the main level three-piece bathroom with shower stall (yes, that’s the THIRD bathroom), which includes the stacking washer/dryer, and the closet in the foyer with mirrored doors.
 
Extras include: Black fridge, stove, and dishwasher, stacking washer / dryer, all existing light fixtures and window coverings.

Features & Upgrades Include: Laminate hardwood floors in living room / dining room, two sets of sliding glass doors to walk-out to balcony, kitchen open to main area. Three bathrooms, two balconies, two walk-in closets. There are three owned lockers included—#51, 52 & 67 and one underground parking space at Level B (P2) #44.  Having 3 lockers will solve many storage issues and keep your home clutter-free. A separate hydro meter (costing approx. $115/mo) allows you to monitor your own energy use.

Building Amenities Include: Terrace with barbecue, a gym, a party room with kitchen and eight visitor parking spaces. Having a gym with decent equipment in the building that is typically not busy is very handy for maintaining your fitness programs. Living in a smaller building means no waits for elevators, the common areas such as the patio and BBQ are readily available and you can get to know some great neighbours right on your floor. See the digital display in the suite for amenities photos.

You'll love living in this gorgeous condo. You could be moved in and enjoying your fabulous new home by late summer.
