This loft is very special. One of twenty custom-designed units in the former National Knitting Mills Factory, this stylish intimate loft condominium was completed in 1997 by renowned developer Bob Mitchell. Originally constructed of brick, poured concrete and steel-webbed joists on the upper levels to accommodate the heavy textile machinery, what sets this particular suite apart from most others are its solid concrete floors and concrete block demising walls, making this as sound-proofed as you can get in a condominium environment.
Offered for the first time since its conversion, this 765 square foot open concept loft features soaring ceiling heights over 13 feet, dark stained wood floors, a feature gas fireplace on a stunning brick wall, and a raised mezzanine bedroom with walk-in closet and ample storage below. Having a recently upgraded kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an oversized washroom with jet tub and ensuite laundry, this fresh contemporary space is the perfect pied-a-pad for the urban dweller. Better yet, this fashionable offering also includes two-car tandem parking! How rare is that?
Regarding the two car tandem parking, it is currently configured as one car parking plus an extremely deep storage locker. It's ideal for those needing ample workspace or, if you prefer, the seller is willing to reconfigure it into two-car tandem parking with a smaller locker. All you need to do is specify this change in your Agreement of Purchase and Sale.
Having loads of panache, great features and reasonable common fees of $295.00 (2009), this marvelous loft is a terrific opportunity. Ready for immediate occupancy, the 'power of attorney' representing the seller requests a 48 hour irrevocable for all offer negotiations.
