Kensington Market Lofts is a two building condominium converted in 2000 from the former George Brown College Centre. Having two lobbies connected by parking facilities and sharing a courtyard garden, the 160 Baldwin building is the larger and taller of the two, while the original century former school at 21 Nassau comprises the remaining one-third of the total condominium complex. The larger building boasts a broad foyer off the charming market street, with original school halls of terrazzo floors, and a human scale that isn't overwhelming. It’s a delightful address to come home to.
This awesome open concept loft of almost 1100 square feet is on the third floor of six facing south. Having an urban sun-splashed vista, the contrast from the big city bright lights hustle and bustle of Spadina Avenue around the corner into this private skyvista sanctuary is remarkable. It’s a gorgeous oasis! Having a well-proportioned rectangular layout, this wide slice of a former college is located on the south-west corner and boasts a well-proportioned volume of sun-drenched airy space!
With a fully fitted washroom (including stacking laundry facilities) located to the side centre of the loft, the remaining U-shaped layout naturally delineates into a sleeping zone, dining zone and Great Room, though it offers plenty of opportunity to customize the layout to suit. Boasting laminate floors, expansive soft white walls, a massive south facing window and ceilings over thirteen feet high, this well-proportioned space has plenty of room for oversized furnishings and all your media equipment. The open concept cook’s kitchen has stylish upgraded cabinetry and a stunning over-sized custom island with additional storage. Isn’t it an amazing space to gather friends round while entertaining?
Up the staircase is a spacious mezzanine ideal for additional storage with an expansive ‘eye-spy perspective’ overlooking the living space!
Fully loaded, the unit is turnkey ready for occupancy this May. Having separately deeded locker and parking, five appliances, multiple light fixtures, custom draperies and several custom bookshelves and movable wardrobe, this dynamite space is great value. Currently tenanted at $2000 per month plus $125 per month for the parking space, one can either assume the tenants or request vacant possession per the Landlord and Tenant Act for a May or June, 2011 completion date.
