With a name like “Ideal Lofts” how can you go wrong living at 301 Markham Street? Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines ideal as “a standard of perfection, beauty, or excellence.” What better way to describe this fantastic building in the heart of Little Italy? You are spoiled for choice in this nine-storey structure; the building’s 68 units range from 550 square feet to over 1400 square feet in size, and each floor tells a different tale of what “ideal” means to the Toronto lofts beholder. Floors two through five feature single level lofts with nine foot ceilings, while units on floors 6/7 and 8/9 are bi-levels with 9’6” ceilings, terraces/balconies on the south side, and juliet balconies on the north side. Regardless of your choice, this building boasts exposed concrete and enormous windows, and you will enjoy luxuries such as wood/laminate flooring, an electronic security system, and a beautiful green space in the form of a landscaped garage roof.
Though you reside in the very “standard of perfection, beauty [and] excellence,” how can you resist venturing outside when your neighbourhood is also ideal, both in location and character? Toronto’s Little Italy offers all that you would expect to live “la dolce vita” (the sweet life) including delicious gelato, and enough pizza joints and pasta restaurants to satisfy the most ravenous Italian-food fan, but this area of Toronto is also steadily becoming a destination for its second-run cinema, music scene, and numerous clubs. If you crave fresh produce, organic fare, and vintage clothing stores, Kensington Market is only steps away, as is the trendy retail-haven of the Queen West District and the University of Toronto. At Ideal Lofts, the name says it all!
