160 Bedford Rd, Toronto

Straddling the line between Yorkville and Annex, Designers Walk or DW Lofts is a high-end 4-storey loft residence, with only eight units. Known as one of the most stylish two-level designs in the area, prospective buyers will find spacious open-concept floorplans, bright floor-to-ceiling windows, engineered-hardwood flooring, modern stainless-steel kitchen appliances and sliding glass doors that open out onto a private outdoor space. Beautiful boutique suites, DW Loft's small number of units allowed for the designers, Powell and Bonnell, to really focus on the details of each suite. Not only is living at Designer Walk a cultured experience but so is living in the Annex. Here, you'll be surrounded by attractions like the ROM, The Royal Conservatory of Music, Hot Docs Cinema, and Lee’s Palace as well as the campus vibe of the University of Toronto. Bloor Street also has an amazing string of quaint and funs bars and restaurants. Bloor is also home to several local fresh produce stores, but the Annex is also home to larger stores like Food Depot on Dupont Street, Metro at Bloor and Robert, and Whole Foods Market on Avenue Road. With all this accessibility at your fingertips, it's no wonder that the Annex neighbourhood has a perfect 100 Walk Score. There are bicycle-friendly lanes on Wellesley Street and College Street and St. George and Spadina Stations are both located in The Annex. For car-owners, the area is navigable along Bloor Street and Spadina Avenue giving you access to the Gardiner Expressway to the south, Highway 401 to the north, and the Don Valley Parkway to the east.
