PRIMETIME!
This gorgeous treetop perch in a restored former Movie House offers the pro-urban resident a dynamite loft space in one of the city's most coveted neighbourhoods. Blending heritage architecture with a contemporary twist, this sun-splashed oasis is the perfect place to hang your hat!
Located in College Street's charming "Little Italy", one of the city's most energetic & dynamic neighbourhoods for café culture, daily shopping needs and vibrant street life, this century building was converted in 1997 into 18 high quality live/work spaces along with two commercial units, being the very friendly Starbucks and the city's much loved Kalendar Café.
Unusual to find, this live/work loft is the ideal setting for celebrating urban life. Fusing wonderful architectural features, low maintenance living, and a neighbourhood renown for its friendly progressive community spirit, living at The Movie House is the best of the best. After all, what more can one ask for with a fitness club, a dozen cafes, coffee stop and stylin' organic grocery store within fifty paces?
The unit foyer, accessed from the second level of the building is efficiently designed with a custom upgraded maple stair treading through to all the levels of the space up to the roof terrace.
On the main living level, a spacious 4-piece washroom with clawfoot soaker tub, designer sink and retro black & white tiling immediately give the sense of chic-antique with a vintage wood door. The entertainment zone is a beautifully proportioned rectangular space featuring solid maple floors, an original vintage window and an enormous 5x5 foot sun-splashed skylight over vaulted ceilings of around sixteen feet high. Having an L-shaped fitted kitchen with stainless steel appliances including gas cooking, a centre island with storage & room for six stools, this Great Room boasts oodles of wall space and plenty of character.
Up the flight of stairs, a private loft sanctuary overlooking the Great Room offers a unique architectural perspective of the suite.
On the highest level, a laundry zone equipped with stacking washer & dryer, a fold-down wall-mounted ironing board, built-in shelving and storage boxes surrounding the stairwell. Walking out to a decked outdoor space, this treetop perch has a panoramic view of the downtown core ideal for summer barbecues. Truly a pretty outdoor oasis, this high in the sky terrace is extremely rare to come by in the central core.
Having reasonable common fees, terrific ambience and one of the very best urban locations, this marvelous loft is available for November 30, 2009 occupancy.
