Located in the vibrant neighbourhood of Riverside, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom hard loft offers a unique living experience. Situated on the third floor of a former pharmaceutical warehouse, this spacious unit boasts 1,305 square feet of living space. With an asking price of $1,549,900, this loft presents an excellent opportunity for prospective buyers.
The building at 68 Broadview Avenue was built in 1914 and underwent a transformation in 2006, resulting in 154 suites of varying sizes and configurations. This particular unit is one of the largest in the complex and is now on the market for the first time since 2014. The current owners, who are jewelers, made modifications to the layout, including the addition of a walled-off second bedroom that they used as a workshop.
Upon entering the loft, you will be greeted by an abundance of natural light flooding in through the windows. The 10-foot wood slat ceilings and original pillars add character and charm to the space. The kitchen is equipped with quartz counters, designer lights, custom silver-stained cabinets, stainless steel appliances, an induction cooktop, and a brick backsplash.
The dining area is situated between the kitchen and the main bedroom, with the second bedroom just beyond. The living area features exposed brick, open ductwork, and wall-to-wall windows offering stunning views of the nearby River City complex, Corktown, and Eastern Avenue leading to downtown.
In addition to the main bedroom, which has two spacious closets concealed by sliding doors, there is also a second bedroom that can be used as an office or a guest room. The main bathroom doubles as a laundry room and includes a raised glass shower with a rainfall head.
One of the highlights of this loft is the private 290-square-foot east-facing terrace located on the sixth floor. This rooftop oasis provides a treetop view of Riverside, Leslieville, and the Beaches. Residents also have access to a shared party room on the sixth floor, equipped with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows.
With its prime location, this loft offers easy access to the shops and restaurants on Queen East, as well as Corktown Common and Riverdale Park. Multiple transit routes are also conveniently located nearby, making it easy to explore the city. For those who commute by car, the DVP and Lake Shore Boulevard are easily accessible.
If you are looking for a charming and spacious loft in the sought-after neighbourhood of Riverside, this two-bedroom unit at 68 Broadview Avenue is definitely worth considering.
