About 169 Jones Avenue — St Leslieville Church Lofts
The name might imply a spiritual and pious existence, but we could never blame residents who purchase Toronto condos for sale at the St. Leslieville Church Lofts after lusting over their hard loft appeal. With an original (and sacred) structure that dates all the way back to 1913, a former a house of worship is now a set of homes deserving of devotion.
Once the St. Clements Church, the structure at 175 Jones now welcomes residents of all backgrounds, spiritual or otherwise. Thanks to deCargani Developments Inc and Open Architects, as well as their choice to divide the building into only 14 Toronto lofts, the St. Leslieville Church Lofts feel updated, exclusive, and intimate.
Distinctive Gothic Revival exterior elements have of course been preserved, such as the Lancet windows — tall, thin, and regal, these take their name for their similar shape to a knight’s lance. While industrial conversions boast exposed, raw elements, homes sculpted from former churches are celebrated for stylistic items such as these unique windows, as well as vaulted ceilings. To put modern homeowners at ease, these windows and others throughout the building have been treated in the conversion process in order to maximize energy efficiency.
The Suites
The suites inside are anything but modest, starting at a generously sized 800 square feet, and reaching to approximately 2,900 at their largest. The 14 hard lofts are spread out over only four storeys, and each features a unique layout and design. With a good number of the units in the St. Leslieville Church Lofts spanning over a thousand square feet, all that extra space can be used for dinner parties, home offices, and even nurseries.
Every loft at 175 Jones include a parking space and bike locker, as well as additional storage space. Where the lofts differ is in their floor plans: some units comprise one level, while others span two, three, or even four storeys.
