Embrace Boutique Living At Lotus Condominiums At Bayview & Sheppard

If you’re seeking a fashionable contemporary condominium conveniently accessible to all points north, south, east, and west, then this sun-kissed suite in a luxe pet-friendly boutique residence situated steps to Bayview Village Shopping Centre is the ultimate in sophistication and style.

Welcome to Suite 623 in Lotus Condominiums at 7 Kenaston Gardens.

Welcome To Bayview Village

To really make the most of urban living, you’ve got to be surrounded by a solid selection of amenities to help you wine, dine and unwind – all within a short stroll. The luxury Lotus Condominium – located at 7 Kenaston Gardens – boasts the synergy of convenience, thanks in large part to its plugged-in location: the nexus of Bayview and Sheppard Avenues, and kitty-corner to the Bayview Subway Station! Who wouldn’t want to reside in a neighbourhood that lets you get where you’re going lickety-split, while effortlessly adding depth and dimension to your life with abundant everyday amenities? Choose your wish, want, or need – put on your favourite pair of shoes – and then wander to whatever destination you desire.

Directly across the street is the beloved Bayview Village Shopping Centre, where over 100 purveyors of fashion, food, and fitness converge.  Anchoring Bayview and Sheppard Avenues, this retail paradise has captivated the hearts and wallets of discerning shoppers from the affluent neighbourhoods of Willowdale, York Mills, the Bridle Path, and Lawrence Park. Renowned for its wide selection of quality on-trend retailers, it’s also a quick efficient stop when running errands, with an LCBO, two grocers (Loblaws & Pusateri’s), and two pharmacies (Shoppers Drug Mart, Bayview Village Pharmacy) just a hop, a skip, and a jump away!

When the workday wraps up but you don’t have the energy to cook, never fear – there are countless options nearby for dining out or ordering in. Experience the rich (and delish) taste of Goan cuisine at Goa Indian Farm Kitchen, or savour the taste of Italy with classic dishes and modern twists at Parcheggio Ristorante. One of our personal favourites is Tabulè Middle Eastern Cuisine – you just can’t beat their kefta, though the lamb chops are pretty great too! In the mood for a classic? Il Fornello has your appetite covered when you’re craving a truly fantastic pizza. And if you’re sweet on sushi, stroll over to Taro’s Fish; they have fantastic filets to choose from as well as other seafood faves ready to order.

No prime location would be complete without easy access to green space, and this condo is snuggled up to its own parkette – how amazing is that? It’s also near Rean Park – located a couple of blocks southeast – which is lush with mature trees and a great place to connect with friends for an afternoon stroll. If you’re looking for something a bit bigger for playing games or running wild, Bayview Village Park is a 5.2-hectare park on Bayview, north of Sheppard Avenue East, that features a ball diamond, three outdoor tennis courts, a splash pad, and a children’s playground. And if you’re a biker or hiker you’ll love the proximity to the expansive Betty Sutherland Trail Park on the Don River. It’s quite popular among bird watchers, wildlife enthusiasts, and those who like to decompress by getting grounded in nature. It’s just an 8-minute cycle away!

If you’re an early-morning workout type, you know there’s nothing worse than rolling out of bed and then having to drive to the gym. Fortunately, for those who like to get their daily workout crossed off their To-Do list lickety-split there’s a well-equipped fitness centre right in Lotus Condominium! However, the added-value feature of this property is that it also offers you a choice and a selection. Right next door to Lotus is the North York YMCA with all the bells and whistles you could want when it comes to exercise and recreation. Or, if you are drawn to specialized classes, there’s a Logic Fitness one block away in the other direction – so you never need to drive! How amazing is that?

Speaking of ‘no driving’, having a car is optional when you live in Bayview Village – particularly if you live at Lotus Condominium. Not only are your must-haves within a 5-block radius, but the Bayview Subway Station – connecting to all TTC lines – is just one minute away across Kenaston Gardens! The Sheppard 85 Bus can whisk you away from your doorstep to any destination east or west, while the Bayview Bus is your ticket north and south. But if you are a vehicle commuter, one of the handiest arteries to get to downtown is Bayview Avenue – 1 minute away. Plus there’s immediate access to the 401.

Discover Peace & Prosperity At Lotus Condominium

We love this luxe boutique condominium a lot!

Celebrating its fifth year as a jewel in the Bayview Village crown, Lotus Condominium was completed in 2018 by the reputable Chestnut Hill Developments. Standing 12 storeys tall and containing 234 suites, this elegant executive midrise residence is a striking addition to the Sheppard Avenue landscape. Architecturally crisp and contemporary, the main entrance opens into a shimmering lobby with mixed metal decor and creative lighting that is beautifully elevated.

As the figurative new kid on the block, Lotus is highly sought-after by those who desire thoughtfully-designed living spaces with elegant fixtures and finishes. It’s also coveted by those seeking life-enhancing on-site amenities. This boutique building features a Fitness Centre, Party Room, Rooftop Lounge & Patio (with BBQs), Rec Room, Guest Suite ($100/night), Bike Storage, 24-Hour Concierge, and Visitor Parking (20 Spaces!). Both the Party Room and the Lounge & Patio can be rented exclusively for $100 and $300 per night, respectively.

We also adore the parkette next door; it’s like an intimate secret community garden for you and yours! Walk the dog, set up lawn games with friends, have projector movie nights in the summer, or simply grab some rays with a picnic blanket and a good book! We all know being embraced by greenery is good for your mental state, so, rest and recharge!

Suite 623

Intelligently designed with exacting attention to detail, this north-facing 1bed + den, 1bath, 580+ square foot sleek cube features a generous sun-kissed balcony! I adore the way the owner has styled the space: clean lines, a minimalist aesthetic, and a decor fusing Boho and Japandi styles. There’s something about the all-white interior, pastel colour palette, and wood accents in the kitchen that makes it feel spacious and serene. You can’t beat the calming colours and natural light streaming in from the floor-to-ceiling glazing!

One reason to consider this space is how perfect the proportions are. The front hall with its uber-convenient coat closet and stacking laundry zone is accessible, convenient, and doesn’t impede circulation through the space. Unfolding as a series of articulated living spaces, we adore the self-contained den which offers the perfect utility for a work-from-home office, or child’s room. How brilliant!

The open-plan entertainment space is smartly laid out. Light and bright, the kitchen features sleek built-in appliances that keep the proportions crisp and clean, and we love the bright stone countertops that offer plenty of food prep space – or your Friday night charcuterie board (and wine!) with friends! The owner has cleverly installed a warm wood island with seating for two which extends the utility of the kitchen while keeping the linearity of the architecture. It’s a great design touch.

Just beyond, the lounge zone is comfortable and cushy. Every seat in the house can enjoy the north-facing sky vista through the massive sliding doors that walk out to the balcony. The outdoor space is perfect for a morning cuppa or even moonlit cocktails in the evening.

The spacious bedroom – which is accessed off the lounge – features a generous double closet, a large window that offers views of the balcony and beyond while flooding the interior with natural light, and access to the dreamy spa-style semi-ensuite that is dedicated to rest and rejuvenation. Yes, please!

This enchanting sky-perch suite – which includes an underground deeded parking spot for one vehicle – has reasonable common fees of $474.85 (inclusive of Heat & Central Air Conditioning, Building Insurance, Common Elements, and Parking).

We believe this property is worthy of your consideration. After all, they say that the trifecta of placemaking that boosts health and happiness – and are the criteria that tangibly adds value to real estate – is when an urbanite can easily walk to everyday amenities like a grocer, the subway, or the YMCA; when the building they occupy is safe, secure, and beautiful; and when they can access nature and parks nearby to restore and rebalance metaphysically.
