Bedford Mansion
118 Bedford Rd, Toronto
Overview
Originally a three-floor Victorian-style mansion built in 1897, Bedford Mansion was converted in 2004 into a townhouse style residence with high-end finishes and a charming heritage vibe.
Bedford Mansion offers just four Annex condos for sale and for rent, all of which feature two-bedrooms, two or three baths, a backyard parking space and a private garden patio. The building maintains much of the original Victorian architecture, while the suites are fully restored with hardwood and limestone flooring, ten-foot ceilings, granite countertops, plus upgraded kitchens with stainless steel appliances and modern Jacuzzi style bathrooms. It’s a classic and yet contemporary home perfect for established professionals and new families.
Just down Bedford Road, homeowners will discover the thrills of the Annex neighbourhood, 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.
Most Notable Features
Best of two worlds: Living at Bedford Mansion, you are situated right on the border between Toronto’s Annex and Yorkville neighbourhoods. It’s a great spot to enjoy both the relaxing café vibes of Bloor Street and Spadina, and then pop over to Yorkville and Avenue Road for dinner and drinks at a classy restaurant.
Pet-friendly living: Sometimes hard to find among downtown Toronto condos, Bedford Mansion is a pet-friendly building. Keeping with the residential neighbourhood vibe, it’s a perfect area to take your dog for long walks, while a lazy cat relaxes at home in front of a bright sun-filled window.
University of Toronto: Less than a ten-minute walk down Bedford Road, residents will discover University of Toronto’s St. George campus. With many student events throughout the year, plus some nearby fraternities and sororities, the area has a distinct university vibe, both culturally and socially.
