luxury contemporary apartments / penthouses for sale Toronto, Canada

Welcome to Suite 2807: an owner-designed residence offered on the MLS for the first time. Perched on the 28th floor in one of downtown Toronto's best locations, this almost 1,000-square-foot gem was thoughtfully reimagined to maximize light, views and usable space. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the open-concept living and dining areas, filling the interior with natural light. A custom CAD/CAM-engineered cabinet and component stand follows the radius of the concrete column, creating an ideal location for a theatre-sized television while preserving the spectacular views. Inset floor-to-ceiling mirrors reflect the skyline and evening light, visually expanding the space, while a matte Italian porcelain feature wall adds warmth and texture. Designed for entertaining, the stylish kitchen offers a generous island and breakfast bar, gas cooktop, stainless-steel appliances and custom wine storage. The flexible office or second bedroom features an organized double closet and a full-height rolling glass wall that preserves valuable floor space. Another organized closet is concealed behind frosted-glass doors in the entrance hall. 2 beautifully appointed four-piece bathrooms include a Philippe Starck soaker tub, Versace plaster wallcovering, custom backsplashes, oversized medicine cabinets, a double vanity and an upgraded multifunction shower. The private primary bedroom offers a fully organized walk-in closet, with stacked laundry conveniently located nearby. The showstopper is the covered, south-facing balcony-approximately 259 square feet, almost 49 feetlong and extending the full length of the suite. With a natural-gas connection and included Weber barbecue, it is a true outdoor room for dining, entertaining and year-round enjoyment. Residents enjoy a 24-hour concierge, rooftop pool and gym, with the best of downtown just outside the door. 1 secured underground parking space and three storage lockers registered on title complete this distinctive home.

Imagine a home that has real character, is soft, warm and comfortable, without the harsh lines of more modern homes, that speaks to another century, when craftsmanship was paramount and design was unique. Now place this home on close to one acre with a ravine as a backyard, secluded, yet minutes from downtown. Welcome to Rosedale’s Geary house, built before Confederation, in 1857, with a wonderfully interesting layout reflecting the fact that it was once a one storey home and is now three, with a sweeping veranda with a decidedly southern feel to it, that cradles the front and side of the house. The beautifully wood-panelled library could be straight out of a whodunit (Colonel Mustard in the library?) and the games complex in the basement includes a full spa, a ball hockey court and a wine cellar, for after your workout, of course. One of the fascinating things about this house is the tunnel that meanders from the main house to the coach house at the back, diving under the well appointed backyard and the swimming pool. Wide and zigzagging, well lit and carpeted, it feels more like a linear art gallery than a tunnel. Outside, the secluded backyard drops down into the ravine where there is room for a small soccer pitch, or ice hockey rink in the winter, fully surrounded by trees and privacy. Poolside is no shrinking violet either. The house, at five bedrooms and nine bathrooms is big enough that you can get lost, yet it retains a cosy feel that some of its more modern peers lack - just one of the few things that makes this property unique. Go for it!
