Rare opportunity to own a true hard loft townhouse in the heart of Roncesvalles Village. One of only six authentic loft residences in this historic 1903 industrial building, converted in 1986, this unique home combines original character with modern updates and offers your own private entrance and dedicated parking space conveniently located right outside your door. Inside, you'll find soaring 10.5-foot ceilings, exposed brick, wood floors, oversized windows that flood the home with natural light, a cozy gas fireplace and ductless air conditioning unit. The spacious open-concept living and dining area is perfect for entertaining, while the renovated bathroom, two bedrooms, and abundant in-suite storage make everyday living effortless. Step outside to create your own private patio oasis at the front entrance. Recent updates include a new dishwasher (2025), new ceiling fans and lighting in the north bedroom (2025), a new dining room light fixture (2025), and a new refrigerator (2023). All the plumbing is new flex piping (2025). Originally built between 1908 and 1910, the building has a fascinating history, serving as home to the Reach Sporting Goods Company and later Wm. A. Rogers Brass Foundry before being transformed into one of Toronto's earliest authentic hard loft conversions. Tucked among the beautiful homes of Roncesvalles, this is loft living at its finest-offering character, privacy, and a lifestyle that's impossible to replicate. Just steps to Roncesvalles Avenue's vibrant shops, cafes, restaurants, parks, transit.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $821/sqft, this property is priced in line with current High Park market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.

Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: High Park properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,396 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
Let's See It Together
Photos only tell part of the story. During our showing, I'll point out things the camera doesn't capture: neighbourhood feel, natural light quality, traffic noise, and overall condition.
