Lennox Mews Lofts at 228, 230, and 234 St. George St is a perfect marriage of turn of the 20th century architecture and modern townhouse construction. Three historic houses, each with its own distinct history are the focal point of these lofts, but a cleverly constructed townhouse complex at the rear of these buildings unites these three houses, making them one large multi-loft unit in the heart of the Annex.
Own your own piece of history in this vibrant neighborhood; Arts and Crafts architect Eden Smith designed #228 in 1901 before going on to establish his own architectural firm in Toronto, while #230 was designed in 1909 by Edwards and Saunders, two local Toronto architects. Robert Watson commissioned the now widely-celebrated E.J. Lennox to design his home at #234 St. George Street in 1903. Lennox would go on to design the provincial Legislative Assembly’s western wing, Old City Hall, and Casa Loma.
Though the majority of the units in this unique Toronto lofts project are housed in the townhouse complex built in 1997, the dignity and beauty of the homes that line St. George Street is undeniably the centre of attention, regardless of whether you make your home in one of the converted buildings or in the newly built structure. Units range in size from a petite 355 square feet to a grand 2,051 square feet; choose from studio, one, two, and three bedroom floor plans. Some of the suites feature balconies while others boast terraces, and almost all of these historic homes offer the modern convenience of parking, though with the TTC easily accessible and a vibrant community at your fingertips, you will hardly need to get behind the wheel.
The Annex embraces the University of Toronto, offering student (and wallet) friendly fare on every corner. Grab a slice of pizza with friends, linger over sushi, or fuel up with caffeinated beverages served in the area’s many cafes. If you tire of the student-scene, never fear; an influx of new restaurants is quickly making this area a destination for those in search of fine dining. Wander through the tree-lined streets as you appreciate the preserved beauty and ambiance of Victorian and Edwardian houses, or immerse yourself in the Annex’s dynamic cultural offerings. Lennox Mews Lofts affords you all the charms of yesteryear while placing all the conveniences and entertainment of today at your fingertips!
