About this home
There are so many reasons people love Porter 156. Maybe it's the immaculately maintained building or the convenient location. Maybe it's the fabulous mix of residents who make this a great community. Whatever the reason, now there is one more - Unit 229! Many of the lofts at the building are open spaces, but this one is different because it offers a second level of living space with two additional rooms (perfect for a bedroom and a home office), a walk-in closet, well designed custom stairs and so much more! There are incredible factory features including wall to wall windows, high ceilings, beautiful authentic timber beams throughout and exposed brick. Yet there are the must have features for 2026 that include a washer/dryer, air-conditioning, a stunning stainless steel kitchen with plenty of cabinet space, island and custom lighting. Also a must have is the private deck that is perfect for entertaining and taking in the wonderful views of the tranquil park directly behind this building. Of course there is one parking space included at this incredible price too! If you are looking for a truly unique home, check this loft out and you will certainly appreciate all that it offers with its brilliant renovation. Amazing roof deck and roof top lounge complete the package. Just steps the the Blue Line T, easy access to the airport through a residence gate and near the exciting Waterfront, it is simply the best! Available for October or November
