In the year 1890 and within the Junction area neighbourhood, the Victoria-Royce Presbyterian Church and schoolhouse was completed construction, with Knox and Elliot Architects at the helm. As the church and schoolhouse met with the early 2000’s and incumbent with slow decay, a local Toronto developer decided to take up the challenge of restoring the structures and performing a loft conversion.Rivet Development joined forces with Paul Oberst (architect), B.J. Brickwork Construction Ltd. & Permatint Ltd. to carry out the conversion to lofts, with Heritage Toronto overseeing the entire project. By 2011, this massive project had reached completion of the authentic Romanesque Revival form & masonry exterior preservation & restoration and loft-styled units (bricks were brought all the way from England to maintain original brickwork). Standing 4 storeys tall and possessing 34 hard loft units in total, the Victoria Lofts (152 Annette Street) has a heritage destination and offers a beautiful new residence.The interior hard lofts are offered in 1 bedroom (588 square feet) and 2 bedrooms layouts (2539 square feet) that are found within the old church and connected brickwork building. The in-unit features that homebuyers can expect to see are exposed brickwork, brick archways, up to 17-foot ceilings, wood trusses, fireplaces, warehouse-style expansive windows, modern kitchen appliances, spacious & modern bathrooms, hardwood flooring, large closets and private balconies & terraces for the penthouse units.There are a small number of in-building amenities that includes parking garage, event/meeting room, party room for entertaining, enter phone system and BBQ’s are permitted on terraces & balconies. Onsite, FirstService Residential oversees the day to day operations of this loft residence and attends to the needs of its residents. The resale values (via the historical average PSF) shows excellent potential for buyers to see a positive return on investment (fantastic news for first time homebuyers and investors!).Victoria Lofts (152 Annette Street) is neatly tucked inside the street borders of Medland Street, Pacific Avenue and Annette Street. There is TTC bus stops right outside the Victoria Lofts residence, with the closest subway station being Keele station at Keele & Bloor. Homebuyers who prefer to drive as apposed to taking public transit can use Keele Street heading south (it will turn into Parkside Drive at Bloor Street), which will connect to Lake Shore Blvd., which offers the access ramps to the Gardiner Expressway eastbound and westbound.Buyers can use Pacific Avenue like a little shortcut to Dundas Street West, which hosts a plethora of useful ‘everyday essentials’ amenities like numerous restaurants, grocery stores, banks, business services, coffee shops, professional offices, bars & lounges, post office, bakeries, fast food eateries and so much more!Outdoor enthusiasts can head south on Keele Street to enjoy Baird Park and the Baird Park Trail, perfect for cycling, walking, jogging, boarding and picnicking.
