Pears on The Avenue – Building Details

170 Avenue Rd Unit 903 – The Space

170 Avenue Rd Unit 903 has a practical layout with tons of open space and sunlight.
The 486 sq. ft. suite contains 1 bedroom, 1 bath, a linear kitchen, and an open-concept living and dining area.

This virtually staged photo shows the décor possibilities of an open-concept design.
Although the building was completed in 2014, Unit 903 looks even newer thanks to a recent paint job.

The walls of the living and dining area appear vibrant and brand-new.
Adding to this sense of luxury are the sleek hardwood floors.

Despite their dark colour, the hardwood floors still glisten under the light.
Unit 903’s kitchen takes luxury to another level.
170 Avenue Rd Unit 903 – Kitchen

The kitchen boasts white granite counters, a porcelain back-splash, and dark-complexioned cabinets.
Besides its high-end finishes and materials, Unit 903’s kitchen has an intelligent layout.

Its clean-cut design looks great and frees up space around the dining area.
Another advantage of the kitchen’s layout is its placement next to the balcony.

Expect a barrage of sunlight during the day (or flick on the track-lights at night).
Other practical elements include a variety of storage cabinets, a double sink with pull-out faucet, and space-saving recessed appliances.

The kitchen flaunts custom-made cabinets by Studio Munge.
Unit 903 includes the following appliances:
- An integrated stainless-steel fridge, cooktop and oven

Unit 903’s master bedroom features high-ceilings, hardwood floors and a double-door closet.

Like the other rooms, the master suite has a fresh coat of paint which makes it look brand-new.
While the master bedroom is located far from the balcony, it still receives plenty of sunlight.

A sliding glass door allows for light from the balcony to pass through.
Located in the foyer, Unit 903’s bathroom is the epitome of elegance.

The washroom is visually stunning with its sophisticated colours and marble tiles.
It also features functional elements such as a medicine cabinet, under-sink storage, a floating shelf for toiletries and décor, and a soaker tub for relaxing baths.

The balcony is another wonderful place to relax and unwind.

However, its main attraction is the view…

Residents are treated to blue skies, lush greenery and the streets and buildings of Yorkville.

About The Annex

The Annex has a kind of split personality. It’s characterized by elegant mansions owned by successful professionals but is also a hotbed of cash-strapped students who hang out at downscale pubs and ram the area’s cheap sushi joints.
Because of its proximity to the University of Toronto, The Annex has a large student population and an array of affordable bars and eateries to serve them.
The neighbourhood is also home to a mix of high-end and low-cost retail.
WikiTravel calls the neighbourhood a “food and shopping mecca” while NowToronto says:
The Annex might not be the first Toronto neighbourhood that comes to mind for great fashion, but it definitely has its share of stellar indie boutiques. …Near Avenue Road, the retail options are high-end and fashion forward.
Due to its massive student population, the area also has some of Toronto’s hottest nightlife.
