Location: 425 Walmer Rd., Unit 6B,

St. Clair Ave. W. and Spadina Rd.

Parking: two parking spaces, one locker

This two-storey, luxury condo suite is steps from St. Clair Ave. W. and has a private elevator.

Spacious and elegant, it also features hardwood floors throughout, French doors, a butler’s pantry and a large living room with a full wall of built-in shelves and cabinetry.

“When I downsized from a large house to a condo, I didn’t think I was going to be able to adjust to a smaller space but that was not the case with this property,” says homeowner Monika Laski. “I’ve lived here for six years in this prime location that has shops, groceries, cafes and restaurants all within walking distance.

“I often go up to building’s rooftop terrace/garden to relax and enjoy the unobstructed 360-degree view of the city. A small perk worth mentioning is an in-suite garbage chute, that allows me to toss the trash directly from my unit,” says Laski.

The home is also close to Nordheimer Ravine, Sir Winston Churchill Park with a separate dog park area, schools and public transit.

“It is extremely rare to find a unit of this size anywhere in the city at this price. One of the unique features of this unit is its wraparound, solid oak staircase which is only seen in large houses. The second-floor primary bedroom has a custom walk-in closet and custom built-ins made specifically for this suite,” says listing agent Louie Di Benedetto.

The boutique 11-storey building has just 17 condo suites. Amenities in the building include a concierge, a gym, a party/meeting room, a rooftop deck/garden, a security guard and visitor parking.

The suite’s front door and elevator open to a foyer with a ceramic tile floor and double closet.

Double entry doors open to a hall with a hardwood floor, the wraparound oak staircase and a two-piece bathroom. A sitting room features two tall windows, a hardwood floor and a gas fireplace.

Double French doors lead to the living room with a hardwood floor,a large window, a wall of built-in wooden cabinetry and an enclave for a desk.

The dining room is appointed with a hardwood floor, two large windows, crown moulding, double French doors and a chandelier.

Kitchen highlights include a ceramic tile floor, an island, granite counters and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast room with built-ins and a butler’s pantry.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has a hardwood floor, a sitting area, a wall of built-in closets, a walk-in closet with built-ins, a makeup room with a built-in desk, and a six-piece ensuite.

The second-floor hallway includes a large built-in bookshelf. Completing this floor are two more bedrooms with hardwood floors and double closets, and a four-piece bathroom.
