Longing for an escape to the country with the convenience of downtown Toronto at your fingertips? Eight Wellesley Lofts, a converted office building at 8 Wellesley St. E, may just be the home you are looking for! With massive suites and high ceilings, you quickly forget you are in the heart of Toronto, and as you take a breath of fresh air on the building’s rooftop garden, the tribulations of city living will soon be forgotten. If you are fortunate enough to secure a second floor unit, you will be the owner of a 300-400 square foot terrace, another space in which to relax and imagine a rolling countryside as you linger over your morning coffee.
Located in Cabbagetown, a walk through your neighborhood is like walking through an enchanting postcard from years gone by; this area of Toronto has the most preserved Victorian homes in North America. With friendly bars and cafes at your disposal, this community truly provides the small-town, homey feel you are looking for. If “small-town life” in the big-city is not complete without a visit to the farm, Riverdale Farm is less than a five minute walk from your front door! With wooded areas to stroll through, charming livestock, gardens filled with butterflies, flowers and vegetables, and a wood-fired brick oven in operation weekly, you don’t even have to get in your car to enjoy the appeal of country-living in the heart of Toronto. Take a breath of fresh “country” air as you recall that your Toronto lofts home at Eight Wellesley Lofts, though idyllic and serene, is only a short walk from transit, putting the city with all its conveniences at your disposal.
