About this home

Welcome to one of Parkdale's most unique and unforgettable residences. Tucked away at 207A Cowan Ave, this extraordinary loft offers over 3,000 sq. ft. of character-filled living space in a former Bell Telephone warehouse converted into authentic loft-style residences. Soaring ceilings, dramatic proportions, exposed architectural character and oversized windows create an incredible sense of space and fill the home with natural light. Offering 2 generous bedrooms plus a versatile den/office/studio/bedroom, this one-of-a-kind unit provides exceptional flexibility for living, working and entertaining. The impressive open-concept main level is complemented by a mezzanine overlooking the space below, featuring additional living and family room areas. The spacious upper bedroom includes a walk-in closet, while abundant built-in storage, multiple walk-ins, a pantry and a full laundry room provide the functionality rarely found in a loft. Known as "The Elevator Suite," a nod to the building's former freight elevator, the residence is rich in history and personality. A separate entrance from the Milky Way laneway adds another distinctive element to this truly special property. Set in the heart of Parkdale, just south of vibrant Queen West, you're steps to some of Toronto's best restaurants, cafés, shops, parks and transit, with easy access to King West, Roncesvalles and the waterfront. This isn't your typical Toronto rental it's an authentic, expansive and truly unique loft for those looking for something with space, history and soul. Hydro is split with the tenant above.
