Formerly the site of the Academy Lane Bowling Alley, old meets new at the Academy Lane Lofts. This four-storey 12-unit boutique loft building at 1852 Queen St E was developed in 2003 by Streetcar Developments. Enjoy the beautiful exposed beam construction, or gaze out the over-sized windows as you prepare for entertaining in your state-of-the-art kitchen. Always dreamed of beach living? “The Beach” neighborhood is Toronto’s answer to Southern sun destinations, and this building’s ideal location offers a prime opportunity to live the Toronto lofts beach life; stroll on one of the many easily accessible beaches, or meander around Kew Gardens, a “green space” just steps away from bustling Queen Street, where you will find specialty shops of all varieties. Side streets lined with Victorian, Edwardian and new-style houses, and the nearby Fox Theatre, Toronto’s oldest operating movie theatre, all contribute to your foray into days gone by. With easily accessible street cars, nearby scenery that inspires the imagination, and Leslieville not far away, how can you go wrong? After all, this building title as a winner of a 2009 Toronto Urban Design Award speaks for itself!
