The Jarvis Mansions
Overview
The Jarvis Mansions can be found just north of Wellesley Street East across from Cawthra Square. The property offers chic townhouse style living with a nod to Toronto’s past and a view of the present.
Originally a 19th century mansion, the property was refurbished in 2009 to create 34 separate Toronto condos for sale and for rent. The modern units are mostly two-bedroom townhomes that maintain a sense of the historical residence, while gaining many contemporary comforts and styles. Prospective homeowners can expect to find open-concept living areas with nine-foot ceilings and stained hardwood floors, lots of natural sunlight, upgraded kitchens and baths, and private terraces and balconies with south facing views of the city. Lacking extra amenities, The Jarvis Mansions are ideal for anyone seeking a stand-alone residence that feels less like an apartment and more like a traditional house.
The area is home to many artists, musicians, journalists and writers, as well as very close to Toronto’s Financial District, Yonge-Dundas Square, and Toronto’s Eaton Centre.
Most Notable Features
Charming neighbourhood: The Jarvis Mansions are located in a very charming neighbourhood between Yonge Street and Parliament. It’s filled with many quaint tree-lined streets, cozy restaurants and cafes, as well as exciting entertainments and nightlife along Church Street. If you want a calm area to call home, while still close to the thrills of downtown living, then The Jarvis Mansions might be right for you.
Money in your pockets: Since The Jarvis Mansions is lacking extra amenities such as a fitness facility or a swimming pool, it means that the maintenance fees are much lower than other downtown Toronto condos. Residents here may have to join a gym elsewhere in the city, but you’ll have more money in your pockets to enjoy your new neighbourhood.
Convenient TTC access: A great perk for transit users at The Jarvis Mansions is that the Wellesley Street 94 bus is about five-minutes away. It’s a safe and reliable travel option that will zip residents across to Yonge Street, the subway, and to Toronto’s business core.
