Modern Living In The Heart Of Downtown West

Located just north of King Street west of Bathurst in the Niagara Neighbourhood – which dates from the early 1800s – this unique and intimate west end neighbourhood was first created as the New Town extension following the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. The area was formerly working class, with many employed in industries located along the CN and CP railway corridors, and it remained largely undeveloped for much of the remaining 19th century. More recently – in a shift from its industrial and workaday origins – the area has seen a dramatic increase in new building along with the conversion of many of the historic industrial buildings to adaptive-reuse lofts and condominiums. If you’re someone who genuinely enjoys and embraces an urban existence, this is the neighbourhood where you’ll be afforded the opportunity to take part in an exciting new chapter in it’s ongoing transformation and coming-of-age.

Certainly, for those who love to have their finger on the pulse of the city, 15 Mitchell Avenue is a only short walk away from the nerve-center of Toronto’s entertainment and nightlife. Yet, if you also crave large swaths of green to break up your urban life, nearby Stanley Park (with its off leash dog zone) and Trinity Bellwoods offer the perfect respite! Boasting a walk score of 98 and a transit score of 100, 15 Mitchell Avenue is not only a ‘Walker’s Paradise’ but also a ‘Rider’s Paradise’, with world-class public transportation and car-sharing available at your doorstep.

When we’re in the Niagara area, we always pop into Thor Espresso for a java boost! And when we’re hungry, while there’s tons of restaurants and cafes to choose from, we never miss Gusto 101 near King and Portland for fun grub and an atmosphere to match, or the Thompson Hotel (with it’s ultra-chic lounges and the 24 hour Thompson Diner) which is just around the corner for those moments when we’re feeling like a chi-chi cocktail. It’s also just a few blocks from a Loblaws, and down the street from prime Queen West for the best butchers, bakers, and espresso-brewing makers! In this rich amenity-laden area, virtually everything your heart desires is close by!

15 Mitchell Avenue has been fully renovated with contemporary flair and great attention to detail. Originally constructed in 1991, this detached 3-storey 3bed 2bath residence recently underwent a comprehensive retrofit which has elevated this house from bland to bling! The space plan has been reconfigured and opened up, with the addition of solid wood floors, recessed lighting, and a floating glass stair partition. There’s some dreamy style hits throughout this modern oasis, including new marble, porcelain and Caesarstone kitchens & baths! We love the third floor master retreat with its walk-in closet & ensuite spa bath with soaker tub, glass enclosed shower and double sinks. And if you’re a Buyer who covets light, you’ll appreciate how sun-drenched this home sweet home is with its 5 skylights, 3 decks and a charming south-facing garden complete with garden shed, hanging ivy and mature trees.

Equally important, the major building components have also been replaced or upgraded, including the heating/cooling system, windows and doors, electrical and a newer roof! Featuring a one car garage (how rare is that?), dazzling unique urban home is available for immediate occupancy!
