Macpherson Church Lofts at 12 Macpherson Ave is a true oxymoron. Set in a century-old former Baptist church, you would expect simple living in a community of modern means, yet this church-conversion was once a structure built to house 500 worshippers with a basement to accommodate 400 Sunday school students. More amazing still, it has been made into only five units, set in the heart of Toronto’s wealthiest neighbourhood! This building ceased to be a Baptist church in 1970 and was eventually sold to a developer who painstakingly restored it to its original gorgeous state following a destructive fire in 1986. Suites are unapologetically spacious (up to 2600 square feet) offering multi-leveled living space with unique floor plans that honour the building’s heritage and architectural details. Walls are solid concrete, windows face east and west taking advantage of sunrises and sunsets, and patios feature gas hookups and antique brass/glass dividers. Luxuries such as heated walkways surround the building, and direct access to the street and garage will cause you to stop to remember that you live in a loft, and at that, a church conversion!
Not only is your home “high-end,” you are ideally situated on the edge of both Summerhill and Rosedale. Summerhill is one of Toronto’s most beautiful neighbourhoods with tree-lined streets and opulent houses, while Rosedale is Toronto’s wealthiest community and is thus home to local celebrities and the cities most well-to-do residents. With gorgeous ravines and winsome parkland at your disposal, Rosedale is the oasis from city-living you seek: winding roads mean very little vehicular traffic, yet the Yonge Street corridor is easily accessible for all your shopping needs. Local high-end restaurants command a cult-like following, and your address finds you right between two subway stations, making work and play in other city districts easily accessible. Roll out the red carpet as you make your home in this uber exclusive, yet idyllically peaceful community: make your home at Macpherson Church Lofts!
