225 Davenport Road, Toronto, ON

Description

Suite 514 is not a renovated condominium. It is a fully reimagined residence in a rare L-shaped building with unobstructed views on both sides: Ramsden Park and tree canopy to the north, the greenery and gardens of Yorkville to the south, light shifting across the home all day and sunsets reflecting off the surrounding facades. Yes, the street-level retail at 225 Davenport is dated, but independent from the residences above with a sweeping rooftop terrace offering BBQs, dining, lounge seating, and skyline views. Taken back to the concrete and rebuilt from the ground up, every sightline, material, and lighting moment has been intentionally resolved, reminiscent of a refined Parisian or New York residence. A rare wood-burning fireplace, finished in wine-coloured zellige tile, anchors the living space with warmth rarely found in apartment living. The kitchen centres a Calacatta Viola stone island and bespoke bar, integrated into the living environment rather than set apart. Carbon-stained oak millwork wraps the foyer, concealing doors so the bedroom wing disappears into the panelling. The original solariums were removed so the home now opens fully to light and breeze rather than seasonal enclosure. The primary suite unfolds as a sequence of spaces rather than a single bathroom, with a Calacatta Viola dressing and vanity area open to north light, and a separately enclosed shower and water closet. The second bedroom has its own Carrara marble ensuite with soaking tub. A third bedroom or den offers flexible guest, office, or family use. Walk down Hazelton Avenue into Yorkville, with city bikes at the corner, Eataly, Summerhill Market, Loblaws City Market, and Whole Foods nearby, and Rosedale and Bay subway stations each under a 10-minute walk. The pet-friendly building runs 24-hour concierge and weekday maintenance staff, with dedicated visitor parking. Maintenance fees are all-inclusive of heat, hydro, and water.
