I lived for quite a while in a pretty sweet loft in Montreal. This place reminds me of that, without the electric baseboard heating. Oh, and with a stunning rooftop deck.

A spacious 1 bedroom rental in a prime location downtown.

This freestanding structure is situated on Croft Street – one of the city’s most admired ‘laneway’ locations. Occupying almost the entire lot, the building is a sturdy, efficient structure – and one of about a dozen properties on this stretch of Croft.

Available is a full-floor residence, complete with exclusive use of the massive rooftop terrace. The home itself is bright and airy, with windows on three sides providing tremendous sunlight and cross ventilation. The open-concept living room + dining room boasts south-windows, and the kitchen includes a gas range, dishwasher and fridge. The oversized bedroom features tremendous storage, as well as a walk-through closet that could easily be converted to a home office. The main bathroom has recently been renovated.

Upstairs is a very special urban space – a massive rooftop terrace with sweeping views over the neighbourhood and towards the city beyond. Ideal for urban gardeners, as it includes it’s own greenhouse, this space is immensely tranquil and private.

Superb access to the city, U of T, College Street, Harbord Street and transit.

The home is available for rent to qualified tenants.
