Terrace Loft at Cube Lofts in Little Italy

Sometimes, you get things right.  I see three concurrent triumphs in this space – the first being an exceptional floorplan with generous room sizes and a perfect flow culminating in an exceptional private terrace.  The second is the care and skill that was taken by the current owner to refresh and revitalize the space.  The last is, darn it, is the exceptional good taste of the owner that makes this home feel ultra-special: stylish, comfortable,

Penthouse Loft at Junction House for Sale

Working on floor plans in pre-construction is an immense amount of fun.  First, a little bit of knowledge goes a long way (just ask the structural engineers I challenge on sheer walls, columns and all that silly stuff).  Second, because it really challenges you to think about how people want to live, and how best to assemble the puzzle pieces for beauty and efficiency.  And lastly, because when you see a plan built – when

Custom Suite for Sale at 1181 in West Queen West

Heritage Loft for Sale In Beaconsfield Village at Argyle Lofts

A great deal has been written about this building, and how it served as the Ideal Bread Company bakery until 1957.  Of course the west end was dotted by many small producers making candy, chocolate, breads and whatnot, who have mostly been pushed to the suburbs.  What’s left – her at least – is a handsome Edwardian building nestled firmly in the centre of an exciting and dynamic neighbourhood.  It’s a perfect home, with a
