Nestled into the welcoming confines of Forest Hill and a stone's throw from Cedarvale Park, this nearly 3,000-square-foot bit of modernist charm can be yours for a sliver of change in the range of $2,795,000.

It's true that you sacrifice some space and privacy with a semi-detached unit but it was designed to give the full condo living experience from ground level by Toronto-based architect Luc Bouiliane. The only real drawbacks are a bit of a squeezed lot, at about 21 by 128 feet, and perhaps dealing with the downward slope of Relmar Rd. Nonetheless you're still close to great schools and the village environ around the bend on Spadina Rd.

The living roof is a garden-like oasis.

 

The house is three storeys and sits beside its architectural cousin. Both feature neat "living" roofs so your green thumb need not want for gardening space. That means there's also rooftop patio space as well and, yes, still something of a backyard.

The balcony offers a calm perch for taking in the leafy Forest Hill neighbourhood.

 

The inside is what's really remarkable. It's a tight, stacked design but the layout is quite intuitive. It features an elevator that accesses all four levels, including the basement gym, so if need be, you can basically just roll out of bed, slap at the down button and get right to those morning reps.

Living spaces flow seamlessly into each other.

 

There's an atrium ceiling with a skylight that cascades throughout the entire space. You get top end finishings, 3 + 1 bedrooms including a master 'retreat' space that boasts a bathroom that could rival most spas. There's also a rooftop generator and triple-glazed windows to keep things efficiently environmental.

Lastly,  don't worry about shovelling snow, the front and rear walkways have snow melt systems. Take that, winter.
