The third level is an indulgent primary suite, complete with a walk-through dressing room, five-piece spa-like ensuite, marble fireplace, and private balcony with striking CN Tower views, an ever-present reminder of the city's pulse just beyond the serenity. The lower level offers a generous recreation room with natural light, private guest bedroom, full bathroom, a second laundry, and ample storage. Outdoors, landscaped rear gardens offer a tranquil escape. A stone patio off the main level creates an ideal setting for indoor-outdoor living. The detached garage via laneway completes this urban sanctuary with seamless functionality. Every element reflects a commitment to design excellence and thoughtful craftsmanship, a singular opportunity to live beautifully in the heart of the city. The custom and curated furnishings and decor are included in the sale of the residence. *FENG SHUI certified by Master PAUL NG** *5 Wealth centers, plus powerful energy for Health & Relationships*
