The up-and-coming Dufferin Grove neighbourhood possesses a perfect balance of transportation, walkability to amenities and…the Bloor-Line Lofts!The Bloor-Line Lofts (284 St. Helens Avenue) was converted in 2004 by Plazacorp Developments from a mattress factory to a cool, industrial original-finishes hard loft-style residence. The Bloor-Line Lofts stands 3 storeys tall and encompasses 64 loft units that vary from 1 level to 3 levels. The exterior architecture has maintained its original character with aged brickwork, recessed transparent glass tall windows and column embellishments from the ground to the roof. Its presence is subtle and continues to compliment its peaceful, house-lined street.The interior loft units range in dimensions, exposures and layouts, but homebuyers will find offerings of studio units (367 square feet) and scaling up to 1-bedroom units and 1 bedroom + den units (1100 square feet). In-unit features that homebuyers will see are exposed original architecture, tall large windows, 11-foot exposed wooden beam ceilings, exposed brickwork and ductwork & piping, hardwood flooring, wood beams, open concept layouts, spacious kitchens and living areas, modern appliances, updated bathrooms with soaker tubs, large walk-in closets, modern staircases and modern fixtures and finishes.The Bloor-Line Lofts does not provide a long amenities list like some other loft residences in Toronto (mostly because there is so much at homebuyers’ fingertips within a 10-minute walk of the building), but there is parking available with guest parking spaces for added convenience and lockers for added storage. BBQ’s are permitted as are pets, and this loft building has its own private courtyard. The historical average PSF shows great potential for a positive return on investment. Goldview Property Management oversees the needs of residents and the day to day operations of this fantastic loft residence!Situated inside the street borders of Sterling Road, Dora Avenue, St. Helens Avenue and Bloor Street West, the Bloor-Line Lofts is less than a 5-minute walk to TTC Lansdowne subway station and bus stops along Bloor Street West. Homebuyers who prefer to drive can use Lansdowne heading north to connect to Dupont Street which will pick up the Don Valley Pkwy access ramps, or, use Bloor Street west to pick up Keele Street heading north, which turns into Weston Road, to access highway 401.Bloor Street (east or west) is rich in its offerings for countless amenities, and within walking distance, homebuyers have fast food eateries & restaurants, a bakery, pharmacy, business services, retail stores, bars & lounges, dry cleaners, coffee shops and more. A short distance south on Dufferin Street (still within walking distance) is the Dufferin Mall which is jammed packed with dining, shopping and business services options (a big bonus here is the spacious Dufferin Grove Park is right across the street and is host to the Dufferin Grove Farmer’s Market!). Dundas Street in the south also provides a plethora of amenities (some are super-yummy!).St. Helens Avenue (when taken south) brings ‘walking’ buyers directly to a great collection of galleries (Daniel Faria Gallery, Gallery TPW & Scrap Metal Gallery) and to the MacGregor Playground.
