The place

A newly renovated condo on the fourth floor of Atrium II, a 245-unit tower rising over Yonge and Sheppard. The home comes with a northwest-facing view as well as a buffet of shared amenities. It’s a short drive from Earl Bales Park and the 401 and is within walking distance of Yonge’s many shops, restaurants and transit connections.

The history

The largest corner unit in the 40-year-old complex, this condo hit the market last September for the first time in almost 20 years. Its new owners held the property for just three months—updating the decor, kitchen and flooring—before listing it again in December. Realtor Rudy Reznik says that the spot is mostly attracting interest from downsizers who want all the character of a bungalow with none of the yard work.

The tour

Atrium II stands on the peaceful Spring Garden Avenue.

Inside, floor-to-ceiling closets line the foyer, which hooks right toward the living area or left toward the bedrooms.

The open-concept space is something to see: 1,000 square feet, gallery-like lighting, dramatic feature walls and great views of the neighbourhood.

Here’s the revamped kitchen, with a new four-seat breakfast bar, hardwood cabinets, stainless steel appliances and veined marble everywhere.

Turn around and you’re in the dining area.

A mosaic feature wall anchors the living area, inspired by both modernist and contemporary design.

Opposite the living space is this electric fireplace embedded inside a floor-to-ceiling marble wall fit for a fortress.

These curved wall-to-wall windows illuminate the reading nook, which is currently set up as an office.

On the other side of the home is the main bedroom, equipped with a six-piece ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet.

The ensuite has a soaker tub and a tiled shower wall that matches the flooring.

And here’s the walk-in closet.

The second bedroom comes with a double closet and a walkout to the balcony (more on that in a bit).

Down the hall is the second bathroom. Note the marble shower with its high-tech water system.

Now for that balcony overlooking Yonge. It connects both bedrooms.

The complex offers a suite of amenities that include an arts centre, a library, a common family room and several fitness areas like this gym, pool and basketball court.
