Apartment – 811 - 1420 DUPONT STREET, Toronto

Most 1+dens are a lesson in compromise. Tiny bedroom, awkward den, no real dining space, and your couch basically touching your kitchen. Fuse Condos is not that. This one actually lives well, with a proper kitchen, space for a dining table, room for a real sofa setup, and a true den with a built-in desk so your workday doesn't spill into the rest of your life. The bedroom is a genuinely good size, the triple closet is a game changer for storage, and the private balcony gives you that little bit of outdoor space that makes condo living feel a lot more manageable. And if you're thinking no parking might be a problem, this is one of those spots that makes car-free living feel easy. Lansdowne Station is less than a 10-minute walk away, the UP Express is roughly 10 minutes on foot, and you can get downtown, to Union, or to the airport fast without the cost or hassle of driving. FreshCo and Shoppers Drug Mart are right in the building, and when you need a break from your unit, you've got coworking space, a library, a landscaped outdoor terrace with BBQs, and a gym on the second floor that will either change your life or just make you feel mildly guilty every time you walk past it. Step outside and the neighbourhood keeps delivering, with great coffee shops, solid local restaurants, tons of parks, and even more on the way as the area continues to grow and evolve with the Galleria project underway nearby. This is the kind of condo that gets the everyday stuff right. (42671379)
