160 Bedford Rd, Toronto
Overview
Designers Walk or DW Lofts is located on Bedford Road just south of Dupont Street, right between Yorkville and the Annex neighbourhood. A well-established development, the building stands at 4-storeys and offers only eight high-end contemporary Toronto lofts.
The DW Lofts are recognized for their elegant two-level designs and modern finishes, creating simple yet sophisticated loft-style living. Prospective homeowners can expect to find spacious open-concept floorplans, bright floor-to-ceiling windows, engineered-hardwood flooring throughout the suite, plus modern stainless-steel kitchen appliances, and sliding glass doors that open onto private outdoor space. The quaint neighbourhood view and spectacular natural light gives these urban lofts great value for homeowners and investors alike.
And just a short walk down Bedford, residents will discover 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
Exclusive residences: DW Lofts is a premier building in the Annex for exclusive loft-style living. There are only eight units available, a remarkably limited number compared to other downtown Toronto condos. But the small unit count allowed the designers, Powell and Bonnell, to give extra care to each suite. So if you like the idea of living in high-end, one of a kind residences, then DW Lofts could be the place for you.
Private outdoor deck: One of the championing features of DW Lofts is that each suite enjoys its own private outdoor, rooftop terrace and sundeck. A space large enough for patio tables and chairs, lounge furniture, even a backyard garden, these outdoor expanses turn a good condo into a great home.
TTC at the corner: A great perk about location, DW Lofts is situated right near the corner of Bedford and Davenport, where residents can find two TTC bus routes. Catch the 6-South to Bay Street and Toronto’s Financial District or hop on the 26-East towards University of Toronto’s St George campus and the subway system.
