If you’re single, or a young couple, we can't imagine a better place to live in Toronto than downtown! Picture this: it’s a crisp day with a gorgeous blue sky, so you decide to walk home from your office at King and Bay. Take a little detour on the way and head south and east eventually leaving the steel and glass towers behind while you approach your St Lawrence neighbourhood.
Stroll past the gorgeous flat-iron building, the lovely St James Park and, finally, arrive at the grand entrance of historic St Lawrence Market. You’ll be able to shop the ‘European way’ and buy fresh meats, fruits and veggies every day on your way home.
Just shopping at the market is an experience in itself as you get tempted down different aisles by the smells of sharp, tangy cheeses, spicy ripe olives, pungent, fresh seafood, or the irresistible, “yeasty” smell of freshly baked bread. What a way to shop! Once you’re finished buying your fresh food, stroll five or ten minutes to your home.
For shop-a-holics, the Eaton Centre and Yonge St retail stores are within walking distance too and Sobeys’ is close by. TTC (streetcar & subway) is very handy to this location, as well as numerous neighbourhood amenities. If you have to hop in a car, you'll be a very short drive away from the Gardiner and a few minutes from the DVP.
If the gorgeous walk home and shopping at the market doesn’t “de-stress” you after your long day, you might want to take a little break and unwind on the award winning rooftop deck. In the warmer months you could enjoy a barbecue, or just sit and relax with friends and soak up the panoramic view of Toronto’s dynamic city. There is also a nice pool to enjoy. You could also take a nice refreshing walk in St James Park one block south.
For entertainment, there’s opera, stage and lots of night clubs and restaurants nearby, and vibrant Dundas Square is just north. The fabulous Distillery District is a short distance away for some great shopping, dining and festivals. Try the Mill Street Brew Pub or Pure Spirits Oyster House & Grill. Close by is the community centre at 230 The Esplanade, where they offer basketball, squash, aerobics and a full-size indoor swimming pool.
Let’s crunch some numbers! If you have approximately $8,500 saved already and have excellent credit and income, we can easily show you how to match that amount in order for you to put five per cent down for this spectacular condo! We routinely negotiate five-year, 3.79 per cent (or better) mortgages for our ‘Clients For Life’ these days and could do the same for you. Based on that rate, your monthly mortgage payment would total just about $1,700 a month!
Of course, you have more to pay for more than just your mortgage when you own a home, but even if you add in realty taxes, insurance, hydro and maintenance fees, this home carries for just about $2,550 a month with our minimum down payment! Plus you get to stop paying rent and start building equity.
What a gorgeous bright one-bedroom suite. In all, there’s just under 1,000 sf of well-designed living space—lots of room for dinner parties & having friends over. This terrific condo faces south over a quiet courtyard with a fountain - a tranquil setting with lots of sun streaming in through the large windows. Broadloom runs throughout the suite adding a nice warmth. And how many other condos have a wood-burning fireplace in the living room? Cozy for the winter months! The chimney was replaced about 8 years ago.
The solarium makes a fabulous bright office, or den or reading room, south-facing with gorgeous sun to bask in. You could use it as a second or guest bedroom, since it has sliding glass doors to the living room, or remove the glass entirely to open it up to the main room. There is a wonderful, open feeling throughout this beautiful, sunny suite.
The extremely large kitchen has tons of counter space and cupboards. There is ceramic tile floor, white cabinets with built-in wine rack and a pass-through to the dining room. This spacious kitchen is well-laid out and functional and the laundry is hidden away in the closet here. The dining room is located conveniently off the kitchen, and separate from the living room.
The spacious master bedroom has huge, floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows, letting in lots of sun. There is also a 5-piece ensuite bathroom with pedestal sink and extra sink and vanity mirror in the dressing area. Large closet with mirrored doors. A second 2-piece bathroom is located off the foyer - very handy for guests. The foyer has ceramic tiled floor.
Included are fridge, stove, dishwasher (new 2009), countertop microwave and built-in microwave (as is); stacking washer and dryer, electric light fixtures, and all window coverings. There’s one underground parking spot - never have to worry about your car... or clean snow off of it! Parking spot has cage locker right above.
You could be enjoying your sunny new condo suite, the quiet building with nice neighbours, and the fabulous amenities in this excellent vibrant neighbourhood by early summer!
