Wallace Station Lofts at 371 Wallace Ave started life as the four-storey warehouse for the Canadian Glue Stamp Factory, built in 1929, and it’s four coach houses, built for the company in 1949. Named after a nearby train station that is no longer in existence, Wallace Station Lofts offers one-of-a-kind finishes for the one-of-a-kind Toronto lofts dweller. Ranging from 625 to 1869 square feet, these exquisite lofts boast classic authentic conversion features, including exposed brick and wood posts and beams, along with unusual charms, such as curved walls and the building’s original freight elevator. Firmly rooted in antiquity, it is not surprising that Wallace Station Lofts includes beautiful finishes from years gone by, making this the ideal for anyone who values the lovely but small touches that make a loft a home. Built in the industrial red-brick Art Deco style, this structure is special inside and out: juliette balconies, 1000 square-foot rooftop gardens, and atriums (according to floor plan) allow you to enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors, while ceilings up to 18 feet and floors made of a medley of kinds and shades of wood make your home truly and uniquely your own. Though each loft has its own unique design, regardless of whether your unit is a studio or a 2 bedroom + den suite, security is consistent: each loft has its own security system, and the gated, controlled access parking lot ensures both you and your vehicle are in the best of care.
Located just blocks north of Roncesvalles and slightly south of the Junction, two neighbourhoods you will be eager to explore! Still described as Toronto’s “Little Poland,” Roncesvalles attracts people from all over Toronto, whether it is to sample the wares of authentic Polish butchers and bakers, or to sip organic, fair-trade coffee in one of the area’s many cafes. The Revue Cinema also draws a crowd, showing second-run films and various special screenings, while vintage clothing shops and brunch restaurants ensure steady foot traffic. The nearby Junction neighbourhood offers a focus on organic food, both in its grocery shops and restaurants. Indeed, the Junction is becoming Toronto’s “it” destination for all things organic, as well as a furniture and design mecca, especially for those looking for reclaimed and repurposed furniture and antiques. As the proud owner of a Wallace Station Loft, these neighbourhoods encompass your own backyard; a fitting backdrop for your lovely and historic Toronto lofts home.
