Oxford-on-Markham Lofts at 75 Markham Street is the loft building you have been dreaming about. Filled with all the charm, originality, nooks, crannies and idiosyncrasies of the lofts you see in the magazines and movies, this former two-storey picture-frame factory was converted into a three-storey Toronto lofts building in 1986 by Bob Mitchell. The original parapet was raised with salvaged brick to create a third level for this structure, and underground parking for nineteen vehicles was created to make this already fabulous building even more suitable for the loft-lifestyle. Each of the sixteen multi-level unit is an original, featuring little details that enchant the imagination. All units feature skylights (though the skylight’s location varies from unit to unit), flooding your unit with natural light, at least one (if not two) fireplaces, and the opportunity to walk out onto either the building’s roof (where there is a hot tub) or down onto your unit’s patio.
Not only is your loft a true original, your neighbourhood is on the cusp of three of Toronto’s most desirable districts. West Queen West offers the highest concentration of galleries, artist collectives and museums in Canada, complete with boutiques and bistros offering original fare, whether of the clothing or culinary variety. Dundas West is filled with independently-owned cafes and plenty of places to procure a pint, and Queen West is filled with opportunities to shop (and dine) until you drop. Life at Oxford-on-Markham Lofts is like a scene from a film where the main character inhabits a well-lived, one-of-a-kind loft – if you thought that “dream” space only existed in the movies or in the glossy pages of a home style magazine, you need only visit 75 Markham Street to realize that dream is a reality!
