200 Clinton St, Toronto
Overview
Located on Clinton Street just south of Harbord Street in Toronto’s Little Italy, this century old building was once a garment factory. It’s rumoured that the workers’ children would come to visit and were paid a penny for every button they picked up off the floor, giving these West End condos the name Button Factory Lofts.
An authentic conversion with 13 Toronto lofts available, Button Factory Lofts is a wonderful and rare find in this tree-lined residential neighbourhood. The suites are generously appointed with one and two-bedroom layouts, most of which are two-floors with mezzanine levels overlooking the lower living space. Interior finishes feature original post and beam character, high ceilings, hardwood floors, plus all units include outdoor terraces or gardens. The building lacks the extensive amenities of newer Toronto condos, but Button Factory Lofts offers a very different living experience than those other box and tower condos.
Besides, residents will find an endless line-up of restaurants, cafes, and bars throughout Little Italy, plus gyms, entertainment venues, and great outdoor green spaces.
Most Notable Features
Generous floor plans: The suites at Button Factory Lofts range from 1,500 to 2,400 square-feet, nearly three times as big as an average condo. Spanning two floors, these open-concept designs enjoy tons of sunlight through huge windows, and feature shockingly spacious outdoor terraces and gardens. They are generous, creative suites fit for families and established professionals.
Quiet residential vibe: Hidden away on Clinton Street between Harbord and College, Button Factory Lofts enjoys a quiet and peaceful residential atmosphere with lots of trees, one-way traffic, and home-owning neighbours. While it’s close to the fun of Little Italy, it’s best suited to those who want a tranquil retreat to call home.
Homeowner pride: Homeowners at Button Factory Lofts will certainly appreciate the level of consideration and care that was responsible for the building’s conversion into a modern residence. With only 13 units, it’s a small, intimate complex where a sense of homeowner pride will bind residents into a pleasant community.
