Streetcar Makes Every Foot Count At The Carlaw

Streetcar Developments is renowned for building intelligently designed condominiums with efficient suite layouts. 

By emphasizing smart use of space, living in a Streetcar loft lets residents enjoy a convenient lifestyle with all its amenities without giving up the important spaces for entertaining, functional living and spacious storage.

Streetcar’s #1 rule when designing floor plans is functionality. Minimizing hallways, for example, allows for bigger bedrooms and a useful laundry room. “You can’t do a lot of living in a hallway,” says Jeff Schnitter, principal at Seven Haus Design. “By eliminating them as much as possible, we can use that space to create bigger, more functional rooms.”

In the striking, 754-square-foot two-bedroom design at The Carlaw, bedrooms are a minimum of 10 feet wide (yes, both of them!) and the generous laundry room is a spot for muddy boots, pet gear, and sporting equipment, a rarity in today’s tight layouts. A walk-in closet in the master and a full-width closet in the second bedroom provide ample additional storage.

“There are key features that allow a space to be truly liveable,” Schnitter continues, “and we’ve worked hard to make sure that they’ll be part of life for residents at The Carlaw.”

When you first enter the space, it’s easy to picture a computer desk and a spot for some books against the wall opposite the kitchen. “Or, you could put a dining table there, and add an island as an upgrade,” Schnitter says. If you love to entertain, a large dining table is another option not often available to modern condo-dwellers.

The second bedroom, with its sliding doors, is big enough to offer several lifestyle options – live with a roommate, offer guests a comfortable space, create an expansive home office or, with the doors open, an extension of the living space, perhaps a media room.

“This plan is highly functional,” Schnitter says. “I could show you two or three places where you could put a dining room table for four or six, and there’s a nice spot for the television with great seating possibilities.”

Kitchens are seamlessly integrated, so the open plan has a cohesive look. “Streetcar kitchens have a very European look,” he says. “They are designed as built-in furniture, streamlined and sleek.” Likewise, the bathrooms have a contemporary style and high-end finishes.

Add to all of this the abundant light that streams into the suite, and it becomes a great canvas for buyers to bring their own style into the space.

Right now, you can purchase a two-bedroom suite at The Carlaw and receive $10,000 cash back, but only for a limited time. With its abundant light, intelligent layout, excellent amenities and superior location, this incentive makes it truly an extraordinary time to buy a suite like this one.
