115 Richmond Street E

A Parisian flat might be out of reach but this 11 storey condo with European style could be the next best thing — and you don’t need to cross an ocean to find it. 115 Richmond St E, also known as the French Quarter II Condos, features a charming stone façade lined by Juliette balconies and topped with a green tile roof.

This boutique residence has 80 suites and is part of a 2 condo complex, residing beside its sibling residence; The French Quarter. To go with a great location in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood, this property provides thoughtful amenities; a fitness centre, a rooftop deck with tables and sweeping views of the city, a party room and library, and more.

Residents also have a 24 hour concierge service, parking and guest parking. Unfortunately, these amenities come at a higher cost as condo fees are well above the neighbourhood average.

One of the first things that stands out at 115 Richmond St E is the functional and unique floor plans. Due to the curvature of the façade, many units have rounded walls and non-linear layouts — a refreshing change from the long, bowling alley style units in many modern condominiums. Homes here begin at a cozy 522 square feet for a one bedroom unit and can reach up to 1400 square feet for the largest 2 bedroom units.

All units have charming Juliette balconies, and many have 2 or more balconies. Prospective buyers can count on hardwood flooring or upgraded vinyl or laminate. kitchens are open to the living space and feature stone countertops and stainless steel appliances. Units have stacked laundry, and large four piece bathrooms.

Though most units have seen past upgrades, it’s possible to find a unit that’s a little dated. But buyers should rejoice, as these units present a great opportunity to earn some equity.

The historic St. Lawrence neighbourhood offers eclectic dining and nightlife options in the heart of the city, and only minutes from Canada’s largest transit hub; Union Station. Tourists and Torontonians alike flock to St. Lawrence Market for fresh deli meats, fantastic pastries, crafts and sandwiches. And condo residents at 115 Richmond St E are just 6 minutes from the market.

Morning espresso is freshly poured next door to the condos at Fahrenheit Coffee — and Mystic Muffin has something delicious for every meal of the day. Residents can stroll to The George Street Diner for an old-world dining experience, and classic comfort food. When the mood strikes, McVeigh's Irish Pub is just 3 minutes away for a relaxing beverage, and C'est What is due south for fantastic craft brews. Plus, there are several music venues and theatres close-by.

Residents can get some rays at the nearby St. James Park — which has beautiful gardens with sunny benches — or residents can utilize the facilities at Moss Park. Boutiques can be found scattered throughout the area, with many more nearby at the renowned Distillery District.

French Quarter II Condos is a great fit for buyers and renters who don’t own a vehicle; the building is minutes from grocery stores, pharmacies, salons, and banks. For trips outside of the neighbourhood, there are streetcars close-by on Queen and nearby Bike Shares as well.

Even drivers have it easy — provided that they’re looking for a nearby expressway — because car owners can go south on Jarvis for the nearest Gardiner Expressway on-ramp.
