Live in a Scandinavian-Japanese fusion loft in trendy Queen West

$1,230,000

1 + 1 Beds, 1 Bath

114-993 Queen St. W.

Amidst the eclectic cool of Queen West and Trinity-Bellwoods Park, the Candy Factory Lofts at 993 Queen St. W. is the place to be. Originally a fabric mill built in 1907, this famous loft changed hands in the 1960s, becoming the Cee Dee Candy Factory, producing colourful candy rockets. Transformed into some of the first lofts in Toronto in the early 2000s, residents here enjoy an authentic loft lifestyle.  

Step inside a thoughtfully designed space inspired by the warmth of Scandinavian Hygge culture and the attentiveness of Japanese Omotenashi hospitality. The airy, open-concept space is accentuated by large windows and honey-toned wood floors shine under soft lighting. Exposed wood ceilings paired with rich Douglas Fir post and beam architecture create rustic warmth, while an understated and sleek kitchen awaits a cozy kettle of tea.

Live in a post-and-beam townhome in Little Italy that’s as cute as a button

$1,995,000

2 Beds. 2 Baths

4-200 Clinton St. W.

Down a sleepy side street near the many restaurants and cafes that make up Little Italy, a century-old industrial building is the site of several red brick lofts and townhomes. Originally a garment warehouse, The Button Factory Lofts, as it’s now known, gets its name from local lore. 

As legend has it, children would earn a penny a piece for collecting buttons strewn across the bustling factory floor.

With an alley entry reminiscent of something out of Coronation Street, this two-storey post-and-beam townhome is delightful. Exposed brick walls offset by antique Fir beams rise 11 feet to meet a wood-accent ceiling. Warm sunshine streams through generous skylights throughout the home, while an antique wood-burning stove offers just the right amount of cozy. Up on the roof, a private garden oasis awaits.
