270 Dufferin Street 1214, Toronto

Set on the northwest corner, this 2-bed-plus-den, 2 full-bath home offers 1,029sf of beautifully considered interior space & something that's becoming increasingly difficult tofind in a Toronto condo, room to live. Walk in & the first thing you notice isn't the square footage. It's the light. Wraparound windows trace the main living space, opening the home to sweeping views across the city, treetops & Lake Ontario. 9' smooth ceilings & an open northwest exposure, the entire space feels bright, airy & remarkably removed from the city below. And when evening arrives, the west-facing exposure puts the sunsets front & centre. Good square footage is about more than a number. It's about what you can do with it. Here, the living &dining areas have the proportions for real furniture & real entertaining. The kitchen feels integrated without taking over the room, full-size appliances, including a French-door refrigerator & full-size range, plus a custom island that adds generous prep space, storage &seating. The split-bedroom layout gives both bedrooms genuine privacy, while the separate den creates something increasingly valuable, a dedicated place to work that doesn't require sacrificing a bedroom. The primary bedroom feels particularly removed from typical condo proportions, with space to breathe, a private ensuite & a calm, beautifully finished palette.Custom paint & blinds throughout give the entire home a considered, cohesive feel. At 318sf, the west-facing terrace with gas hookup isn't simply somewhere to step outside. It's another place to live. There is room to lounge, for dinner outside, for friends, for greenery. Room to spend a summer afternoon with a book or watch the sun disappear over the city at the end of the day. And the view is exceptional. The terrace opens across the neighbourhood toward the lake &western horizon, with an expansive mix of water, sky, treetops & city views. Instead of feeling surrounded by towers, there's a genuine sense of openness.
