Stonecutter Lofts

&quot;Who controls the British crown? Who keeps the metric system down? We do, We do!&quot;. If you didn't get that reference to the infamous Stonecutters' song from the Simpsons, allow us a moment to mourn your loss.The Stonecutter Lofts are amongst the most exclusive and desirable lofts in the city. These uniquely edgy <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/lofts">Toronto lofts</a> will appeal to the creative types that have been gravitating toward Toronto in recent years: the artists and tastemakers of our city.In managing to maintain a low profile, this building seems deceivingly quaint. Nestled on a tiny street away from busy traffic, the authentic low-rise hard lofts are a low-pro masterpiece.The Stonecutter Lofts were converted from a century old warehouse, with its location on Stonecutters Lane acting as its namesake. The name for the lane traces even further back, eponymous of the old Stonecutter&rsquo;s Arms Pub on Richmond Street East.<a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos-for-sale">Toronto condos for sale</a> at 43 Britain Street rarely come to market, as there are only 5 units in the entire building. The last unit listed &mdash; a swoon worthy penthouse &mdash; sold for a cool 2.85 million Canadian dollars.

The Stonecutter lofts are ideally located in <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/moss-park">Moss Park</a>, nestled far enough from busy Queen Street that home remains a quiet and calm environment, yet steps from Toronto&rsquo;s bustling <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/city-centre">City Centre</a>.For those who enjoy the finer things in life, there&rsquo;s a myriad of upscale restaurants and exquisite high-end boutiques nearby.A stroll through Toronto&rsquo;s historic <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/st-lawrence">St. Lawrence</a> will transport pedestrians to the cobbled streets of Madrid or Lisbon, or offer cycling commuters a safe route to work.For winter nights where going out on the town seems impossible, residents will indulge in their stockpile of tasty treats gathered from St. Lawrence Market. The market is a popular spot for Toronto&rsquo;s growing number of foodies, and for good reason.As for those film buffs, Rainbow Cinema on Market Square will become a second home, as the theatre features blockbuster films at budget prices. In the summer, movies are also played weekly in the picturesque, flower-filled St. James Park on Adelaide Street East.

Five units are spread out over only three storeys at the Stonecutter Lofts &mdash; we&rsquo;ll let you do the math. Aside from some units spanning multiple levels, they also come in a range of spacious sizes, from an ample 860 square feet to more stately 4,300 square foot units. Combined with the fact that the building is zoned for both commercial and residential use, the units are perfect options for those requiring live/work spaces.The interior design owes much to the building&rsquo;s past, with exposed original (and since sandblasted) brick, wood posts and beams, and genuine hardwood floors.To come back to that previously mentioned penthouse, it was personally designed for the original owner of the building, and was the recipient of the 2011 Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) Design Excellence Award.As quoted by the team behind the conversion, Baird Sampson Neuert Architects, &ldquo;[the building&rsquo;s] unique contribution is in showing how the tops of the existing stock of warehouse buildings in cities like Toronto can be re-inhabited with levels of outdoor amenity, privacy and security that is comparable to traditional on the ground single family housing.&rdquo;However, given the scarcity provided by the small number of units, it&rsquo;s unsurprising that few lucky folks have witnessed the beauty hiding within 43 Britain Street.

Transportation to and from 43 Britain Street is a breeze by car, public transit, bicycle, or even on foot. Streetcars along Queen Street run 24 hours a day, and connect users of public transportation with the Queen subway station, from where they can transfer to trains that jet around the city.Drivers will love the proximity to the Gardiner Expressway, as well as the easy driving routes along surrounding Richmond, Adelaide, Jarvis, and Sherbourne.

Stonecutter Lofts! 100-Yr Old Warehouse Loft Conversion On Quiet Side Street. Exposed Brick, Wood Post & Beam, Real Hardwood Floors. Very Wide Living Spaces. High End Finishes Are Standard Here.  

4 Stainless Steel Appliances (Fridge, Stove, Dishwasher, Microwave), Full Size Washer/Dryer, Steel Lam. Countertops, Designer Fixtures, Solid Core Barn Doors, Valence Lighting, Custom Cabinetry. Indoor Parking Available $22,500. 

Unsurprisingly for a <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown">downtown Toronto</a> neighbourhood, Moss Park Condos make up the majority of residences, and often come in the form of high-rise towers. Some are high-density condos like <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/320-richmond-st-e-the-modern">The Modern</a>, which features 343 suites spread out over 17 storeys; others, like the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/150-george-st-britains-gate-residences">Britain's Gate Residences</a>, are traditional red brick townhouse complexes.Thanks to its industrial past, some hard lofts also occupy the neighbourhood. The <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/365-dundas-st-e-century-lofts">Century Lofts</a> at 365 Dundas East was formerly home to the Imperial Optical Lens factory, the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/189-queen-st-e-boiler-factory-lofts">Boiler Factory Lofts</a> at 189 Queen East occupies an 1880s-built boiler factory, and the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/43-britain-st-stonecutter-lofts">Stonecutter Lofts</a> at 43 Britain Street was a warehouse in its previous life.In case Moss Park wasn&rsquo;t dense enough, ONE Properties is planning a mega-residence for the corner of Queen and Sherbourne. Slated for completion in 2020, the building consists of 1,645 homes, and yet its developer has also ensured that the historic fa&ccedil;ades currently present on the site will be preserved. What&rsquo;s more, the creation of the building will also result in a new park for all of Moss Park&rsquo;s residents to use.

The Locals: Historically lower-income individuals, but diversifying more and more every day.Code of Conduct: The neighbourhood may not be filled with boutiques and caf&eacute;s, but nearly everything imaginable is a short walk away.What You&rsquo;ll Find: New residential buildings popping up left, right, and centre.What You Won&rsquo;t Find: Trendy restaurants and bars everywhere you turn.The Homes: Contemporary Moss Park condos next to assisted housing.Sealing the Deal: Living within walking distance of the Eaton Centre, the Distillery District, St. Lawrence Market, and Lake Ontario.

Downtown

Thanks to its central downtown locale, residents living in Moss Park have no trouble getting around the city, even without a car. The Dundas and Queen streetcars come in handy for anyone heading east or west, while the Sherbourne and Parliament buses carry passengers south to the waterfront or north to the Bloor-Danforth subway line. Speaking of the subway, Moss Park is also just a short walk away from Queen Station, which runs along the Yonge line.While Toronto&rsquo;s congested roads means drivers will want to avoid short trips around the immediate area, a couple of highways are thankfully within close reach. Car owners can head south on Jarvis in order to connect onto the Gardiner Expressway, or east along Queen to reach an on-ramp for the Don Valley Parkway.

The home that gave Moss Park its name unfortunately no longer exists: the moss-covered house owned by the Allen family (one of the city&rsquo;s most affluent) was razed in preparation for the neighbourhood&rsquo;s redevelopment in the 1960s. Similarly, other homes were demolished at this time, many of which were built to house the industrial working class that once made up a large proportion of the area&rsquo;s inhabitants.The residential neighbourhood bound by Dundas, Richmond, Jarvis, and Parliament has traditionally been home to low-income individuals, and three government-housing buildings sit near the intersection of Parliament and Queen. While those who live in Moss Park condos have to exit the neighbourhood itself in order to shop or dine out, it&rsquo;s filled with public facilities for all to enjoy.The neighbourhood&rsquo;s namesake park is home to a baseball diamond, as well as tennis and basketball courts. Residents can also enjoy the indoor amenities at the John Innes Community Recreation Centre, such as the swimming pool, gymnasium, craft room, lounge, and games room.Although Toronto doesn&rsquo;t have a strong military presence, those who claimed <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos-for-sale">Toronto condos for sale</a> in the neighbourhood might spot men and women in uniforms, as the Moss Park Armoury is located at 130 Queen East. And fans of the show will recognize the store where Kim&rsquo;s Convenience is filmed, right on Queen East between Sherbourne and Seaton.
