Condo of the Week: 75 Markham

Posted by Robyn Urback / March 20, 2013

75 Markham TorontoOne of 16 lofts in an old picture frame factory by Alexandra Park, this condo is all about open-concept, vertical appeal. So nuts to you, walls. This condo boasts three storeys, two fireplaces, and one private outdoor terrace, all for the price of a spacious detached home in some other less cool part of Toronto.

House of the Week: 10 Dault Road

Posted by Robyn Urback / March 19, 2013

10 Dault Road TorontoNo, this isn't a sprawling, multimillion-dollar McMansion. (For that sort of thing, check out last week's post.) But who says small packages (or rather, mortgages) can't offer a little charm? This east-end home is ideal for fat-cats who are stuck in the skinny-stray stage, offering great views and designer perks without the seven-figure deposit.

New in Toronto real estate: Volta Lofts

Posted by Robyn Urback / March 14, 2013

Volta Lofts TorontoVolta Lofts is "loft-inspired" living set to arrive at Annette and Runnymede. This project is modest in scale with fewer than 20 units, with its greatest amenity set outside its front door. Yes, fresh pies and specialties cheeses just steps from its entrance. While this condo will surely appeal to those backing low-rise living and west-end personality, its roomy suites are limited only to those with grandiose pocketbooks to match. Here is a closer look at Volta Lofts.

Condo of the Week: 2289 Lake Shore Boulevard

Posted by Robyn Urback / March 13, 2013

2289 Lake Shore BoulevardThis place is not new to Toronto's real estate listings, but with blue skies set to take over the city skyline (fingers crossed), I'd say this property is poised to host a few impressive upcoming showing (and the lowered price tag will certainly help some, too.) Three storeys, three bedrooms, and a view that would make any skeptic swoon, this place will certainly take your breath away — if in large part just due to its crippling maintenance fees.

The Best Late Night Falafel and Shawarma in Toronto

Posted by Robyn Urback / March 12, 2013

Shawarma TorontoThe best late night falafel and shawarma in Toronto deliver in terms of ideal post-bar eats. Acceptably messy and often quite cheap, the places on this list will fill you up for little more than the change left in your pocket at the end of the night. These places keep the fryer going and the spit rotating late into the night, ensuring your midnight falafel or 2 a.m. shawarma is just as delicious as during the lunchtime rush.

Here is the list of the best late night falafel and shawarma in Toronto.

House of the Week: 98 Old Colony Road

Posted by Robyn Urback / March 12, 2013

98 Old Colony Road TorontoSecret passageways, a rolling ladder, indoor-everything, and premium finishes. But what is this — no golf simulation studio?! Well, I suppose prospective tenants of 98 Old Colony Road will have to make due with just an indoor pool, games room, sauna, squash court, wet bar, drums room, and more. Sacrifices, you know? While you can get the whole package for just shy of $8 million, I'd be happy with the winding bookcase and hidden built-in passageway. If only expired TTC tickets counted as legal currency.
