Torontonian’s love their early period ‘building to condominium’ conversions, and The Dorchester is precisely that! Originally built in 1940, The Dorchester (150 Farnham Avenue in the highly desireable Yonge-St. Clair neighbourhood) was smartly converted into beautiful condominium units in 1972, when the concept of a condominium was just on the edge of blossoming!Celebrity Holdings together with Seth-Phillip Investments, joined forces to convert this low-rise (5 storey), Art Deco-style building into fantastic condo units. Inspired by this buildings heritage and location, a traditional atmosphere was maintained, within the interior and exterior of The Dorchester. The exterior of this condo building still keeps its welcoming presence, with a stone walkway, wrought iron railings and old-world lamp posts. The façade is a simple brickwork design and subtle, light brown colouring with transparent glass.The interior units in The Dorchester range in styles and dimensions, with many units possessing trendy upgrades. The units consist of 1 bedrooms (700 square feet) and 2 bedrooms (1100 square feet), with north/west & south/east exposures and large windows on both sides…providing loads of natural light. Buyers and investors can anticipate seeing in-unit updating features such as hardwood flooring, ensuite bathrooms, granite tile flooring, open concepts, spacious kitchens (some with Caesarstone countertops, stainless steel & modern appliances, large front entrance closets, kitchen islands and/or breakfast bars and modern bathrooms.Homebuyers will see in-building amenities like a pool, exercise room, sauna, gym, parking garage and enter phone system. Through the years, the established historical average PSF has shown a great track record for a positive return on investment, via resale values (great news for all level buyers!). Adding even more value to this incredible condo building is onsite Prohouse Management friendly staff, who attends to the needs of residents and the daily operations of the building.Set inside the street borders of Avenue Road, Balmoral Avenue, Farnham Avenue and Yonge Street, The Dorchester condo (150 Farnham Avenue) can add ‘premium location’ to its excellent buying potential! For public transit users, there is a bus stop right at the Avenue Road & Balmoral Avenue intersection (a short walk south on Yonge Street to Shaftsbury Avenue provides Summerhill subway station access, or north on Yonge Street to St. Clair reveals the St. Clair subway station). Homebuyers that prefer to drive can head north on nearby Spadina Road or Yonge Street to access Eglinton Avenue, which if taken west, connects to Allen Road (and in turn, connects in the north to highway 401), or, heading east will provide the access ramps to the Don Valley Pkwy.A short walk east on Farnham Avenue to Yonge Street, will open-up a nice selection of shopping, dining out and business services opportunities (pharmacy, restaurants, retail shops, cafes and more. Buyers will also find TTC bus stops along Yonge Street for a quicker connection to any subway stations.Where Farnham Avenue ends in the east, Jackes Avenue begins and leads right to the very large David A. Balfour Park, with its many trails and paths, this is an excellent outdoor outlet for cyclists, joggers, walkers, picnic-lovers and nature buffs (Yellow Creek winds its way through this park, and can be followed south to link up with Park Dr. Reservation Trail and the Park Drive Reservation Lands for even more exploration and adventures!).
