25 Scrivener Square 203, Toronto

Tucked off Yonge Street, Scrivener Square is a quiet refuge in the heart of Summerhill, and Thornwood II is one of two boutique buildings arranged around a landscaped courtyard that have set the standard for this storied neighbourhood. Suite 203 is a renovated one-bedroom that makes the most of its setting. The kitchen is organized around a centre island with quartzite counters and a tile backsplash, with bright, timeless finishes beneath high ceilings. A dining niche comfortably seats four, or could serve as a dedicated workspace or be reimagined with a built-in banquette. The living area opens to an oversized balcony overlooking the lush courtyard: green, private, and a genuine extension of the living space in warmer months. The bedroom offers an oversized walk-through closet with custom organizers, and the updated three-piece washroom features a walk-in shower and separate water closet. Lutron lighting throughout and a spacious laundry closet add everyday ease. Parking and a storage locker are owned. The shops of Yonge Street, the Summerhill LCBO, Ramsden Park and the ravine trails are all within walking distance, and Summerhill subway station is just around the corner. A quiet, well-considered home in one of Toronto's most enduring neighbourhoods.
