Building Details
12A Cecil combines the luxuries of a condo with the comforts of a house.
The 3-storey structure is tall and narrow like a building, but like a house, contains multiple bedrooms, baths and a basement.
On one hand, it has condo-esque amenities such as a rec room and terrace.
On the other, it has a family room and garden, giving it the warmth and greenery associated with houses.
This unique mix of urban and suburban is also found in its location.
12A Cecil lies on a quiet street at the heart of downtown Toronto, minutes from retailers, restaurants, hospitals, transit, universities and so much more!
12A Cecil – Main Floor
The condo townhouse is stylish, modern and very roomy
Simply put, 12A Cecil is huge.
Its 2140 sq. ft. interior contains 3 large bedrooms, 3 baths, a colossal kitchen, a spacious den, several walk-in closets, a family room, and a rec room.
Adding to this sense of spaciousness is an open-concept design, with the living, dining and kitchen areas combined for flow.
In addition to its size, 12A Cecil is also big on luxury.
For example, it uses black hardwood floors in every room.
To soften these dark tones, the condo townhouse employs soft grays for the walls and ceilings.
Such colours work in conjunction with large windows and pot-lights to flood the home with both natural and artificial brightness.
The dining room is radiated by large windows, a ceiling lamp and pot-lights.
12A Cecil flaunts a chef’s kitchen with gorgeous Corian counters, a marble backsplash and recessed lighting.
Plus, there’s this stunning island with a black base and white top.
Another highlight is the custom cabinets by Cameo. The company is famous for its pricey yet sophisticated designs.
The townhouse also boasts luxury stainless steel appliances by Jennair.
These include:
- A gas-powered stove/oven
- Full-sized refrigerator and microwave
- Built-in dishwasher and range hood
Besides these, 12A Cecil contains a washer and dryer, and brand new A/C to the master bedroom.
The condo also has a patio on its main floor.
This private patio is perfect for summer socials.
Enclosed by high walls, the patio still receives plentiful sunlight and has tons of room for outdoor furniture.
12A Cecil – Second Floor
While the first floor is for meals and socializing, the second floor is more for personal use.
In fact, 2 of the bedrooms are on the second level.
Overlooking the garden, the second bedroom features dark floors, soft-blue walls, a walk-in closet, and recessed lighting.
It also sports an ensuite bath with a shower, tub, pot-lights, shelves and a huge vanity.
The third bedroom is no less luxurious.
It also has a walk-in closet, hardwood floors, pot-lights, and large windows.
12A Cecil – Third Floor
The third floor only has room for one thing: the massive master bedroom.
At 15.5 by 12.5 sq. ft., it certainly is enormous.
Besides its sheer size, it’s also incredibly opulent.
You’ll find glossy hardwoods, gray walls, soaring ceilings a huge walk-in closet, and access to the balcony.
And when we say “huge walk-in closet,” we really mean that…
Have tons of clothes but no place to store them? This walk-in closet is more than sufficient.
The master bedroom also contains a 5-piece bath.
Residents can enjoy his and her sinks, gleaming white counters, an extra-wide mirror, a linen closet, and several storage cabinets.
Feeling stressed? Step into the deep soak tub and let your worries melt away.
Last but not least, the master bedroom opens up onto a private terrace.
Although it’s only on the 3rd floor, the terrace offers a sweeping view of the Toronto skyline, including the CN Tower.
The view is even better at night…
Toronto seen from the suburbs is always a magical sight.
12A Cecil – Lower Level
The lower level is home to the massive sitting room and rec area.
At 15 by 10.7 sq. ft., the sitting room is absolutely huge, making it a great place to socialize.
It’s also decked out in hardwood floors, pot-lights and a large window for plenty of natural sunshine.
Then there’s the rec room, which at 12.9 by 10.9 sq. ft., offers up endless entertainment possibilities.
For example, you can add a billiards or air hockey table, a big screen TV for sports, or turn it into an arcade!
The rec room also contains a closet and features the same high-end hardwoods as the other floors.
