380 Macpherson Avenue #336, Toronto M4V 3E3

Your plants want you to book a showing. Your friends will want to stay for dinner. Twelve-foot ceilings, exposed ductwork and a wall of windows make a strong first impression. But it's the morning coffee in your pyjamas, watching the sunrise without another building's living rooms looking back, that might get you attached. The original solarium doors are gone, opening that bright front space to everyday life. There's room to stretch out on the sofa, a place for the dining table and a modern kitchen that keeps whoever's cooking in the conversation. Dinner can run late. The dishes can wait. And your laptop? Leave it in the den. Tucked at the back, approximately 8 by 14 feet, it has room for a proper workspace, creative projects or overnight guests, with separation from where you spend your evening. Nobody's eating beside your inbox. The generous bedroom carries through the high ceilings and airy feel, ready when you're ready to call it a night. Outside, find your usual at Haute Coffee, meet friends at Fat Pasha or Playa Cabana, and pick up groceries on foot. Dupont subway is a short walk away. Come home to a quieter neighbourhood, friendly neighbours and approximately 889 sq. ft. at Madison Avenue Lofts. A gym downstairs, a rooftop terrace upstairs, concierge service and underground visitor parking make staying in and having people over equally appealing. Fibre optic internet, digital cable and a landline are included in the maintenance fees. Fair warning: you might become the friend who always hosts.
