1 Scott Street 709, Toronto

This freshly painted studio at 1 Scott St offers a layout designed to make good use of its compact footprint. The modern kitchen is complemented by one of the suite's smartest features: a built-in seating area that creates a dedicated spot for dining or working from home, complete with a shelf, built-in light and storage underneath. Closet built-ins, a separate locker and ensuite laundry add valuable everyday storage and function, while the bathroom features a walk-in shower. Beyond the suite, residents have access to a library, lounge, games room, gym, sauna, theatre, outdoor pool, guest suites and visitor parking. The location makes living without a car especially practical: King Station is approximately a 5-minute walk, Union Station is about 10 minutes away, and the 504 King streetcar and 97 Yonge bus are nearby. No Frills, Metro and St. Lawrence Market are all within walking distance, along with Cafe Landwer, Meridian Hall, the Hockey Hall of Fame and Scotiabank Arena. An efficient option for a first home, downtown pied-à-terre or Toronto base for a student, with useful storage, extensive amenities and downtown connectivity built into the address.
