One of the home’s more fascinating features is its “green” roof, which boasts such benefits as increasing insulation (which will lower heating and cooling costs), decreasing rainwater runoff, diverting water to the trees in the garden, and providing forage for native butterflies and bees.

This unique home is one of only four boutique condos located within a converted heritage mansion. Steps from High Park, the condo is conveniently situated near bike paths, public transit and all the shopping and restaurant options of Roncesvalles Village, providing “the perfect blend of environmental living in an urban environment.”

The main entrance features walnut panelling, offering a warm feeling of classic heritage charm when you first walk in.

Boasting 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, the “generous living space and stylish finishes” provide the “perfect setting for relaxing and entertaining.”

Within the “professionally designed” interior, “every detail has been carefully selected and quality crafted with beauty and sustainability in mind.”

The expansive dining area boasts walnut wainscoting, clerestory windows and French doors opening to the rear balcony, which features its own natural gas barbecue hookup.

In addition to this large rooftop terrace, the condo also features a wood-burning fireplace, shared back yard, personal storage shed (large enough to fit 2-plus adult bicycles), a storage locker and cold storage room.
