Sword Street Lofts at 10 Sword Street is nestled snugly amongst single family homes in southern Cabbagetown, an area well-known for its beautifully restored Victorian houses and friendly neighbourhood atmosphere. With only 11 units in this converted factory, not only are these Toronto lofts sought after because of their prime location and their rarity, they are highly desirable because of their classic loft features. Concrete columns and ceilings are complimented by hardwood floors, and fireplaces warm every nook and cranny of these units, ranging in size from 725 square feet to a generous 1800 square feet. Some feature patios and decks, though other loft-dwellers are invited to enjoy the scenery of the lovely Cabbagetown neighbourhood via shared outdoor space.
Finding places to take in a deep breath of fresh air will not be a chore at Sword Street Lofts. Nearby Riverdale Park boasts soccer, baseball and ultimate frisbee fields, as well as a swimming pool, tennis courts, a running track and an outdoor skating rink.

Located right in Riverdale Park, this 7.5 acre attraction is a fully operational farm, practically right in your backyard!

On Tuesdays, watch as bread is prepared in a wood-fired brick oven and later sold at the weekly Farmer’s Market, in operation from May to October; the perfect place to buy your produce for the week. You’ll find that you will quickly fall into a treasured “rhythm of life” here in Cabbagetown; your day starts with a cup of coffee on your patio, the TTC whisks you away to work and home again, an energizing after-work run in the park gives you a chance to reflect on your day, and a stop at the Farmer’s Market ensures you have all the ingredients for your next great culinary masterpiece – it’s all part of the charming routine at Sword Street Lofts!
