The tour

Here’s the entrance to the suite. The foyer comes with tiled floors, a bench and a recessed cove with a designer light fixture.

Golden pillars, meant to augment the golden-hour sunset, frame the living area’s wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows. That’s Yonge and Eglinton in the distance.

This view of the den showcases the gas fireplace and its dramatic marble surround.

The main bedroom is equipped with both a walk-in closet and an ensuite.  

But, of course, the view is the main attraction.

Here’s that walk-in.

In the ensuite bathroom: marble herringbone tiles, a double vanity, a water closet (not pictured) and a spa-like circular tub.

Now for the second bedroom. It contains a hidden walk-in closet and has easy access to the wrap-around terrace (more on that later).

There’s also a laundry room down the hall, which contains extra storage.

The kitchen features a breakfast bar island with a double sink, a marble backsplash, plenty of storage and a gas cooktop. All the appliances except the dishwasher are Gaggenau. 

Here’s a peek inside the second bathroom, also lined with tile and stone.

The jumbo terrace is private and has a striking view of downtown, the west end and beyond. It can be accessed from the living room, kitchen and both bedrooms.

Finally, here’s one last view from the terrace, looking right into the heart of the city.
