Penthouse Pied-A-Pad
Are you seeking an affordable residence in the heart of the city that offers you house-like styling with the e-z care benefits of condo living?
Better still, do you dream of your own private city-vista roof terrace overlooking Victoria Park?
And would it rock your world if it was fully-fitted with deluxe contemporary furnishings?
Wow! Welcome to Penthouse 18 at 550 Front Street West, Toronto.
This stellar residence is an amazing first time purchase, an ideal 'home away from home' for the traveling professional who needs a downtown Toronto pied-a-terre, or a fantastic fully-furnished executive rental.
Located in Portland Park Village, this sun-splashed top floor suite is situated just steps from your dynamic urban life. Situated east of Bathurst on Front Street, it's just south of hip King West with its full-on nightlife vibe, just west of the Entertainment District, and just north of Lake Ontario's Harbourfront District and the Toronto City Airport! It's moments to the highway for those who have the need to commute, and for fitness-lovers it's an easy cycle or jog to the waterfront system of paths. And for those who make walking their way of life, imagine being steps from Toronto's favourite french restaurant Le Select Bistro, the bangers and mash pub called Bar Wellington, or the 24 hour diner Counter located in the recently opened Thompson Hotel! Wow, they're all around the corner! Nothing beats this centre-of-it-all location.
Completed in 2001 by Cityscape Development Corporation, this 193 unit condominium comprises 74 stacked townes and 119 units in the concrete-built nine-storey mid-rise. Ranging in size from 450 to 2000 square feet, the mid-rise portion features mostly two storey units which share efficiently designed hallways and two elevator cabs. With most suites having private outdoor space, this smart building boasts a fantastic spacious fitness room with quality equipment. Otherwise, having few common amenities keeps common fees reasonable. Isn't that amazing?
Penthouse 18 is a jewel-box of a residence. Approximately 582 square feet of indoor living (per previous listing), this multi-level mini-mod 'house in the sky' suite was substantially renovated in 2008 to meet the pied-a-pad needs of a busy traveling executive. Rarely used, this sky-high suite has a fully-equipped kitchen and an open concept entertainment zone complete with stylish furnishings perfect for impromptu parties. Upgraded with plank flooring, glass railings and a crisp contemporary decor, this mondo condo is as vibrant inside as out.
On the second level, an intelligent space-plan reconfiguration and renovation has created a well-proportioned washroom with a separate vanity zone perfect for dressing and make-up. No more steamy mirror to wipe! Yea!
The sleeping zone, with soft-on-the-feet shag carpeting and indulgent custom king-sized bed is perfect for dreamy domestic bliss. Can you imagine breakfast in bed with your lover and the New York Times crossword puzzle? Divine!
Up the skylit stair to hydraulic roof hatch, the high-in-the-sky panoramic 260 square foot (per previous listing) roof terrace has a gas barbecue (never fill a propane tank again!), water line, electricity and some fantastic outdoor furniture. It's a great place to host your friends under the colourful light show of the CN tower. Fantastic!
Fully-furnished and impecabbly turned-out, this boutique-hotel inspired residence is ready for immeadiate occupancy. Having reasonable common fees a squeak over $250 per month, independent utilities and one car parking (known as#236), this is one super buy and a lucrative investment!
