Address: 2989 Dundas Street West
Neighbourhood: Junction Area
Agent: Laura Maria Fernandez and David John Tonon, Royal LePage, Johnston and Daniel Division, Brokerage Price: $1,998,000

The Place: Industrial designer Marco Pecota’s west-end loft takes up the second and third floors of a Dundas West building. (His showroom, Pekota, currently occupies the main-floor commercial space.)

Bragging Rights: Where to begin? Pecota’s eye for layout and décor separates this place from Toronto’s endless supply of rectangular, glassy modern housing stock. But if a design pedigree isn’t enough, let’s go with the actual airplane wing that floats between the master bedroom and living room, or the “secret office” that hides behind a pair of sliding doors at the back of a closet on the second floor. Potential buyers can see more of Pecota’s work at The Passenger, a nearby restaurant where he handled the interior design.

Big Selling Point: There are many here—the spiral staircase leading to a reading loft, the 600 square feet of deck—but for our money, the secret Moroccan-type room off the reading loft is the winner. It’s the perfect place to cozy up with a book, or a perfect playroom for little ones.

Possible Deal Breaker: Fans of white-walled minimalism will probably not see the appeal, but potential buyers with similarly eccentric sensibilities will find something (or some things) to pull out the chequebook for.

By the Numbers:

• $1,998,000 • 600-square-foot deck • 3 storeys • 2 bedrooms • 2 washrooms • 2 parking spaces • 1 airplane wing • 1 “secret office”
