The Roncesvalles neighbourhood is known for many things by Torontonian urbanites…but one thing in particular that stands out is the incredible factory to hard loft conversion of Sorauren Lofts! It is an exciting time to be in the market for a hard loft new home, that boasts original detailing, massive spaces and a premium location!The Sorauren Lofts (347 Sorauren Avenue) was a factory (old ball bearing factory) to loft conversion, with completion in 1999 by developer Mel Brown and architect/designer Jeff Kendall. The Sorauren Lofts stands only 2 storeys tall and possesses 48 hard loft units in total. The exterior of this loft residence has maintained its old-industrial & mill style architecture and brown brick, large windows and transparent glasswork façade.Now for the crème de la crème…the interior loft units come in a variety of sizes, exposures and layouts, starting with the smallest loft units of 1 bedrooms at 532 square feet and scaling up to 2 bedrooms at 1680 square feet. Homebuyers have various industrial finishes that are individual to each unit, but some of the consistent features throughout are 12-foot to 15-foot ceilings, open concept layouts, exposed brick & wooden beams, hardwood & cement flooring, steel framed mezzanine levels, some ground floor units have patios with views of Sorauren Park, expansive windows for tons of natural light (some units have skylights) and spacious loft bedrooms.The first thing that makes homebuyers smile about the short list of amenities for the Sorauren Lofts is that pets are permitted, which works out beautifully as next door Sorauren Park has a dog park, tennis courts and a Farmer’s Market! In-building, homebuyers will have access to a parking garage with guest parking spaces, a party room for entertaining, a meeting/event room and enter phone system. Cpl Property Management oversees the daily operations of this loft building and attends to the needs of residents.Nestled within the borders of Sorauren Park, Dundas Street West and Sorauren Avenue, the Sorauren Lofts (347 Sorauren Avenue) is in perfect proximity to TTC, highway transportation pick-up, amenities and lots of explorable areas! Right at the corner of Sorauren Avenue & Dundas Street West is a streetcar stop, with Dundas West subway station close by at Bloor Street. Motorists have a cool little shortcut to get to the Gardiner Expressway in the south, by using nearby Geoffrey Street west to Parkside Drive (heading south on Parkside Drive will bring drivers to Lake Shore Blvd. access ramps).Homebuyers will quickly realize that Dundas Street and Bloor Street will take care of any shopping, entertainment or dining out desires…some are within walking distance, like the major grocery stores, banks, gas stations, restaurants, cafes, business services, retail shops, barbers & salons, dry cleaners, professional offices, beer store, LCBO, pharmacy, bars & pubs and much more.Families with kids have schools in the area such as Saint-Frere-Andre Catholic Secondary School, Fern Avenue Junior and Senior Public School, Garden Avenue Junior Public School, St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School and Howard Junior Public School, just to name a few.
