In the year 1911, architect William George Burns stood back and admired his vision come to life with the newly built, Medieval Revival/Neo-Gothic Methodist church…if he only knew then that this architectural masterpiece would become a loft conversion condo in the future!ERA Architects joined forces with Taffycroft Enterprises (developer) to seize the opportunity to reclaim this piece of history and use its bold strength and architecture to design 24 loft units within its 3-storey structure (completed by 2008). The exterior of The Abbey Lofts is a rich combination of stone cladding, light-grey solid limestone and transparent & stained glasswork…truly breathtaking (the top floor pseudo ‘battlements’ adds to the excitement of living here!).The Abbey Lofts (384 Sunnyside Avenue) possesses lofts in varying sizes, exposures and layouts, beginning with 1 bedrooms + den (961 square feet) and scaling up to dimensionally generous 2 bedrooms + dens (2889 square feet). The interiors of the loft units are quite what homebuyers would expect to see in an authentic loft conversion, like up to 17-foot wooden vaulted ceilings, working fireplaces, arched doorways, sunken living rooms & private terraces with some ground floor units, hardwood flooring, open concept layouts, exposed beams, stone/limestone & brickwork, (original and restored) expansive & decorative/stained glass windows, original doors, galley-style kitchens with islands, modern kitchen appliances and high-end bathroom finishes & fixtures.Within The Abbey Lofts (as with many loft residences) there are not a whole bunch of in-building amenities, but this is also largely due to its positioning in the fantastic High Park-Swansea neighbourhood and being right next door to Roncesvalles Avenue. Homebuyers will have access to a parking garage with guest parking spaces, a multi-purpose room for meetings/events or functions and an enter phone system for added security (not that residents need it, they are residing in a fortress…how cool is that?!).The peaceful streets that borders The Abbey Lofts (384 Sunnyside Avenue) are Marmaduke Street, Indian Road, Howard Park Avenue and Sunnyside Avenue. Buyers and investors are very close to Roncesvalles Avenue, Dundas Street West and just south of Bloor Street West, which is perfect for TTC public transit users (bus & streetcar stops dot these major streets, with Dundas West subway station at Bloor Street. Motorists can use Howard Park Avenue driving west as a shortcut to Parkside Drive, which if taken south, will link up with Lake Shore Blvd. and the access ramps to the Gardiner Expressway.Within a 5-minute walk east along Marmaduke Street, buyers will step onto the amenities-filled Roncesvalles Avenue (banks, coffee shops, restaurants, fast food eateries, business services, retail shops, salon, pharmacy, pub and more. Buyers can use Ritchie Avenue from Roncesvalles Avenue to shortcut-it to Dundas Street West amenities, or continue along Ritchie Avenue to where it ends, and a major grocery store comes into view that hosts a pharmacy & LCBO.Howard Park Avenue can be once again used as a shortcut for homebuyers to the incredibly fun and explore-worthy High Park in the west (less than a 10-minute walk!).
