50 Camden St, Toronto
Overview
If you like the friendly feel of a smaller building and favour open concept loft style living, but still want a few of the standard amenities, consider The Sylvia. This Toronto condo is on a quiet side street just around the corner from the buzz of trendy Queen West and houses just 65 soft lofts. Location is a big draw here, but there is also a pretty good selection of amenities including a fitness centre, party room, BBQ terrace, 24-hour concierge and garage parking for you and your guests.
As for the living space, the suites are a good size and have a few neat extras you don't find in other buildings on the street. There is definitely a loft look and feel at The Sylvia, but bedrooms are raised and have unique rolling walls that can be moved to maximize light and privacy. There are lots of large windows to let in light, but most can actually open to also let in fresh air. Some of the suites have good-sized terraces, and others have juliette balconies. Because it is a slightly older building and there is a good deal of competition in the neighbourhood, The Sylvia is more affordably priced than many similar Queen West condos, making it a great opportunity for first time buyers or investors looking to expand their real estate portfolio.
