212 St George St #309, Toronto

Top Ten Reasons You Will Love This Home

1. Located in a historic mansion. 212 St George is home to the historic Powell House mansion, built in 1907 and oozing with so much charm such as the original wooden entry door and stained glass windows. The unit has a fireplace facade and ornate historic light fixtures that are definitely not “builder basic.” This is definitely not your average cookie cutter skyscraper condo, and we think you will love that!

2. A surprisingly efficient layout. At 562 sqft, this condo packs a lot into its four walls. The layout is really efficient and open concept, and offers 9 foot ceilings. We don’t know of many condos, even 600-700+ sqft condos, that could fit a sectional sofa, dining room table, and has room for a king size bed in the bedroom. Unit 309 is definitely a case of the condo feeling larger than it looks on paper. There is no wasted space here!

3. Open concept kitchen with lots of cupboard space. We often hear condo owners lament their lack of storage space in the kitchen, but that is definitely not the case at 212 St George #309. The open concept kitchen offers lots of cupboard space, granite counters, custom backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a stove, built-in microwave, and a full size fridge.

4. So much natural light! The unit faces east and has lots of big windows to help fill the condo with natural light throughout the day. The windows were replaced in 2016 and they actually open so you can get some fresh air, unlike many condo windows that are just for looks. The bedroom has two (!) windows that open and an actual door, which feels like a unicorn for one bedroom condos in Toronto. All windows have Hunter Douglas blinds installed.

5. Location, location, location. If you are looking for a downtown condo without having to be right in the middle of a super dense cluster of condos, it doesn’t get much better than 212 St George St with its prime downtown location. Located in The Annex, a short walk to the shops and restaurants along Bloor Street, walk to Yorkville, U of T, or the subway within a few minutes.

6. All inclusive condo fees. Condo fees include heat, central A/C, hydro, water, and cable TV. You don’t need to worry about running the central A/C extra in a heat wave, or cranking the heat up during a cold snap.

7. Parking and a locker included. Underground parking is included as well as a storage locker, which feels luxurious for a downtown condo.

8. A renovated bathroom with a fancy upgrade! This bright and clean bathroom offers a white subway tile surround with a hexagonal white floor tile. There is a built in storage cabinet, and a fancy upgrade - heated floors!

9. Boutique low rise building. The building is only five stories tall so it is easy to take the stairs to get around, or a very short elevator ride. When you enter the building through the main doors, you are on the second floor. To get to #309, you only need to go up one flight of stairs or one floor on the elevator, making it easy to get in and out quickly.

10. In house amenities. Residents of the Powell House can enjoy the in house exercise room, sauna, and rooftop terrace which offers a view from the fifth floor. Cyclists will appreciate being able to secure their bike in the bike rack area of the parking garage, which is accessible only to residents.
