Powell House

212 St. George was originally known as Powell Mansion, an Edwardian-styled home built in 1907 and converted into a prestigious condo residence in the 1980s. Maintaining the original design, including a hand-carved oak front door, the property now offers 41 units available for sale and for rent, ranging in size from one to two-bedrooms. Units have modern upgraded kitchens, pre-engineered hardwood flooring, bright living areas with private balconies and terraces. 212 St. George also offers residents a variety of amenities including a new fitness centre, his and her saunas, private gardens, and a sprawling rooftop lounge. Live in one of the area's historic homes in the thriving Annex neighbourhood, where you can find world-class institutions like the ROM, The Royal Conservatory of Music, Hot Docs Cinema, and Lee’s Palace as well as one of the University of Toronto's campuses.  Check out the local food scene at places like Fieramosca Trattoria for romantic Italian ambiance, Paupers Pub on Bloor Street or By The Way Mediterranean Restaurant if you're looking for a great patio. Groceries can be found at Metro and Whole Foods Market, but of which are a short walk away. The Annex neighbourhood has a 100 Walk Score, with convenient bicycle-lanes on Wellesley Street and College Street. If you want to travel fast, there are three main subway stations along Bloor Street that can get you anywhere you need to go. 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.
