Urban Towns at the Carlaw: This is Urban Living!

By on Jun 03, 2013

An exciting neighbourhood, a gorgeous townhouse, and Toronto at your doorstep

The Carlaw by Streetcar Developments is a stunning infill community designed in a clean, modern style that both fits its surroundings and enlivens its Leslieville neighbourhood. For those who love the urban condo life, but need some more space, Streetcar is releasing a collection of just 21 spacious, two-level, live/work townhouses. This award-winning developer marries condo convenience and a superior city location with everything we love about towns: privacy, space, quick outside access — a perfect oasis where you can live, work, and thrive.

The Carlaw is a stylish 12-storey building at Dundas and Carlaw designed by Tact Architecture. This corner, thanks both to city ordinance and the foresight of business owners and builders like Streetcar, is poised for a continued renaissance — and starting at $479,900, The Carlaw townhouses offer a fresh opportunity for home ownership in a sought after neighbourhood where detached homes now routinely go for $800,000 and up.

Two floor plans are available, with 975 sq. ft. or 1,215 sq. ft. over two floors; there’s even one particularly cool three-storey unit. With two or three bedrooms, they’re a rare opportunity for a family to enjoy city living without compromising space or functionality. All have either their own rooftop terrace or an outdoor patio designed to offer a comforting degree of privacy and, as each is complete with a gas hookup, a perfect spot for a summer barbecue.

Like all suites at The Carlaw, these townhouses are distinguished by nine- and ten-foot ceilings, inspiring interior design and brilliantly laid-out floorplans that don’t waste an inch, the work of Toronto’s Seven Haus Design. Kitchens are sleek, European-inspired works of art in themselves with ample storage courtesy of extended-height upper cabinets, and complemented by generous laundry rooms and contemporary, high-end bathrooms featuring vanity-width mirrors with integrated back lighting, porcelain tile floors and walls, and soaker tubs all in a spa-like setting.

Townhouse buyers get all the amenities residents of The Carlaw enjoy, including state-of-the-art fitness facility, security concierge, and a rooftop terrace that expands living space even more. One of the best amenities is the neighbourhood itself, where boutiques, bakeries, speciality shops and great restaurants are turning it into a real destination for food-lovers — a wealth of gourmet options are just outside the door, like the Leslieville Cheese Market and the Mediterranean-flavoured Olive and Olives.

The TTC is steps away, and highway access not much further. The recently announced inclusion of a permanent space for Crow’s Theatre, one of Canada’s leading independent theatre companies, on the ground floor of The Carlaw means Carlaw and Dundas is about to become a cultural destination as well, an artistic hub in a community that lacked such a space before. It’s great news for local businesses, as well as residents who want to use the space when the theatre isn’t, for screenings, charity events, markets etc.

Streetcar Developments is Rethinking. Urban Living. with a collection of gorgeous, mid-rise buildings in Toronto’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. The Carlaw Presentation Centre at 43 Davies Avenue will play host to an exciting townhouse release on Saturday, June 15 from 12 – 5 pm.
