Kingsgate Motors
2504-2512 Bloor St W, Toronto
Overview
A surprising property in Toronto’s High Park-Swansea neighbourhood, Kingsgate Motors is a collection of old brown-brick houses that have been renovated into modern West End condos.
With tall trees and large green front lawns, these houses offer 14 unique Toronto condos for sale and for rent, with varying layouts up to two-bedrooms. The suites feature original house designs with hardwood floors, large living room windows, upgraded kitchen with natural stone countertops, and some units have wood burning fireplaces. There is parking garage at the rear of the property, attached to a small park with swing-set and a small playing field. Since these are renovated houses instead of new developments, the extra amenities are minimal beyond parking and storage lockers. The real appeal of Kingsgate Motors is the charm of an actual house in a lovely residential community immersed in the picturesque greenery of the Humber River valley.
Residents can easily walk to the nearby restaurants and cafes of Bloor West and hop on the TTC at Jane Station to zip downtown, or enjoy the natural pleasures of nearby green spaces including Toronto’s famed High Park.
Most Notable Features
Laid-back condo living: A definite change from the common conception of Toronto condos, Kingsgate Motors offers a more traditional, laid-back living experience. Forget elevators, forget the concierge, this is a classic house-style living experience with the ease and convenience of a condo.
Steps to nature: From the green front lawns to the sounds of the nearby Humber River valley and wetlands, living at Kingsgate Motors will hardly feel like a city residence at all. If you enjoy being able to trek into nature at a moment’s notice, then Kingsgate Motors may be the place for you.
Bloor line TTC: Although a home here will feel like a far away nature retreat, you are still very close to the city with the Bloor subway line running right below you. Residents can easily walk to either Old Mill or Jane Station to catch the subway downtown or head out west to Kipling and other connections.
