578 Spadina
578 Spadina Ave, Toronto
Overview
What was once an 1870’s mansion is now an executive-styled condominium residence located on Spadina Avenue just south of Willcocks Street.
Converted in 2008, the property offers just five Annex - U of Tcondos for sale and for rent. Combining townhouse architecture with loft-style suite design, 578 Spadina emerges with a unique modern feel unlike most other downtown Toronto condos. The suites are mostly two-bedrooms with open-concept layouts that maintain some of the original finishes such as hardwood flooring, exposed wood-beam ceilings, and moulded glass bathroom sinks. While lacking extra amenities, the suites enjoy low maintenance fees, as well as private rooftop terraces.
Situated in a prime spot, homeowners have full access to the Annex - U of Tneighbourhood, a charming community stretching from Queen’s Park to Christie Street along Bloor. The street is lined with boutique shops, quaint cafes, cozy restaurants, and trendy bars and venues, not to mention home to University of Toronto’s St. George campus, the Royal Ontario Museum, and Bloor Hot Docs Cinema.
