Living Large At Yonge And Lawrence

Located literally a hop, skip and a jump away from the Lawrence Station subway station, this two bedroom and den condominium embraces the real estate mantra of “location, location, location.” The underlying theme of this particular location is convenience. Picture exiting your building and having numerous and diverse shopping and leisure opportunities at every turn. It’s up to you which direction to go. Whether the purpose of your stroll is to pick up groceries from a local vendro, select a great vintage at the Wine Rack, or meet in a neighbourhood cafe to klatch with your best friends or neighbours, this family friendly locale has a compelling way of making you want to throw down roots. It’s literally steps from the Metro Grocer, and fantastic dining options are within a five-minute walk, including the cozy Abbot Pub, Italian eateries Parmigiano’s Italian Trattoria, and Trio Ristorante and Pizzeria, sweet-tooth havens Patisserie Sebastien and Bobbette & Belle, and the legendary Burger Priest.

Those seeking green space will appreciate nearby Woburn Avenue Playground, which has a playground and a wading pool and Alexander Muir Memorial Gardens, the perfect spot for a romantic stroll or evening outing with your dog. There’s a brilliant public library practically across the street, a fantastic community centre and a good representation of schools in the immediate vicinity (which is of interest, not simply if you are in need of school for your own family’s purposes. Schools are a sought after amenity, and can help preserve and grow your asset value!). Bedford Park Junior PS is less than a five-minute walk away (which is dreamy for any parent!). Lawrence Park Collegiate, The Toronto French School and Northern Secondary School are also nearby.

Located in ‘The Lorindale’, the mid-size condominium was built in 2002 by Plazacorp and is managed by Horizon Property Management. This seven storey mid-rise condominium building has 78 units that range in size from 660 square feet to 2150 square feet. Building amenities include a gym, party room, meeting room, and underground parking, including several visitor parking spaces.

Suite 207 is inviting and bright, with ample light unfurling in the well-laid out space. Having an elongated floor plan with north and east exposures, the generous foyer – located just off the elevator for convenience – is well-positioned. With the sleeping zone on one end, and the entertainment space on the other, there is a ‘house-like’ feel that reflects its ample square footage of 1170 square feet indoors and 332 square feet of terrace.

Efficiently-configured, the kitchen boasts lots of cabinetry and counter space, making it the perfect spot for creating culinary delights. The open concept space continues into an expansive living room and dining room, where broadloom spreads out comfortably beneath your feet. Tucked off to the side is the den, made separate by clever French doors, which connect the space by allowing light to flow freely through. This is a terrific bonus room!

The Master Bedroom is sizeable (easily accommodating a king-sized bed) and sunlit, and creates an area with an aura of calm and repose. The ensuite has an equally tranquil effect. A good sized second bedroom is adjacent to the second washroom, making this suite well-suited to youg couples, families, or a down-scaling boomer.

This living space is connected and increased outdoors, with not one but two gracious terraces, accessible from the Entertainment Zone and the bedrooms. These terraces not only extend the living space, but offer a liberating opportunity to enjoy outdoor living and entertaining, all while being nestled and surrounded by the pulse of an urban environment. The bedroom terrace, with its late afternoon sun, creates a tranquil spot for repose, whereas the massive sun-drenched outdoor space off the living room is the perfect perch to enjoy city life. With its streetscape view, this ‘garden in the sky’ is ideal for those who want outdoor space with none of the hassle of a large lot.

Including parking and locker, this pet-friendly family-friendly condominium is literally positioned at the crossroads of convenient transportion access, whether that be the subway or highway, life-based amenities (i.e. shopping, schools, etc.) and protected ravine green space (like Muir Park and Sherwood Park). How amazing is that? With occupancy at the end of February, this is a super opportunity for one fortunate buyer.

Do you yearn to combine convenience with the contemporary? This could be the spot for you!
