Originally the Eglinton United Church, St. George on Sheldrake Lofts at 65 Sheldrake Blvd. has an almost century long history dating back to 1923. Converted in 2001, the building’s exterior is an homage to Keeble College at Oxford University, featuring beautiful brickwork and limestone trim. This church-conversion hosts only 33 Toronto lofts, many of which are over 1000 square feet; in fact, some units are over 4000 square feet, a spacious and rare find in Toronto. True to church-conversion form, ceilings soar at a minimum of ten feet, with some units featuring 24-foot cathedral ceilings, and beautiful finishes include hardwood floors and granite countertops. Not so common to church-conversions, however, is the ample underground parking available for residents! With 75 parking spaces for vehicles and 26 places for bicycles, regardless of your preferred mode of travel, you can be sure that your transportation will be secure and safe. All St. George on Sheldrake residents also have access to both indoor and outdoor common amenity space, though most units have private balconies or gardens. Space to enjoy the outdoors is certainly not an issue in this neighbourhood, however. With Sherwood Park and Blythwood Ravine nearby, ravine parkland offers beautiful walking trails, shady spots to enjoy a picnic, and plenty of places to simply escape the city and take a deep breath.
Though such an idyllic and serene oasis is only steps away, you are also ideally situated near Yonge street, the perfect place to dine and shop until you drop! Dining opportunities include Chinese food, Mexican, Thai, steakhouses, and bakeries galore, while specialty stores feature some of Toronto’s best cupcakes and high end beauty products, while kitchen supply stores will provide you with every culinary gadget and gizmo your heart could desire. The Yonge-Eglinton Centre features shopping opportunities in a mall setting, as well as a Silvercity movie theatre where you can catch up on the biggest blockbusters. St. George on Sheldrake: the perfect blend of neighbourhood tranquility and urban accessibility
