Platinum on the Humber Condos – Building Details
5 Rowntree is located in the suburbs of South Etobicoke, making it the ideal home for families.
The 18-storey condo has a gray concrete exterior intersected by a sea of light-blue glass windows.
While the concrete exterior is angular, the inside is far more luxurious and richly textured.
The rest of 5 Rowntree is just as opulent as its lobby, including its slew of suites and incredible amenities.
Finally, its South Etobicoke location is perfect for families.
You’ll find lush parks, murmuring rivers, scenic hiking trails, wonderful schools, and much more!
5 Rowntree Rd Unit 1404 – The Space
At almost 1400 sq. ft., this unit is built for families.
Unit 1404 consists of 2-bedrooms, 2-baths, a walk-through kitchen, an open-concept living and dining area, and a large balcony.
Even the windows are enormous, offering expansive views and substantial sunlight (weather permitting).
Due to its open-concept design, Unit 1404 preserves an easy flow from one room to another.
The dining room transitions effortlessly into the living room, which flows smoothly into the breakfast nook.
Best of all, the entire suite has been overhauled from top to bottom.
For example, there’s new flooring throughout, including snowy ceramics in the kitchen and breakfast area.
Unit 1404 has also been outfitted with brand-new light-fixtures.
Take this stunning chandelier, which resembles a diamond engagement ring.
Besides the switch to ceramics, Unit 1404 is also decked out in dazzling laminates.
Even on dark days, the laminate floors shimmer like silk.
Finer upgrades include new baseboards, crown moulding, solid entry doors, polished chrome handles, and more.
Unit 1404 also has a handy storage room in the foyer.
At 6.9 by 5.1 sq. ft., it’s big enough to hold bulky items such as bicycles, or you can use it as a walk-in closet for your shoes and clothes.
5 Rowntree Rd Unit 1404 – The Kitchen
Unit 1404’s kitchen has been completely modernized.
Although the condo is decades old, everything in this kitchen is brand new.
That includes these lovely cabinets, stylish faucet, double sink and intricate back-splash.
Perhaps the most eye-catching upgrade is the beautiful quartz countertops.
Quartz—a non-porous material—is better at resisting stains than marble or granite.
Unit 1404 comes with the following appliances:
- A brand-new stainless steel fridge and stove
- A dishwasher, microwave and rangehood
- Full-size front load washer and dryer
5 Rowntree Rd Unit 1404 – Master Bedroom & Bath
The master bedroom is painted in gentle grays, a tone that lends itself to relaxation.
At 11.10 by 20.9 sq. ft., the master bedroom is nothing short of massive.
The walk-out balcony supplies it with generous sunlight and causes the floors to shine like burnished bronze.
Like the rest of Unit 1404, the master bedroom also benefits from an array of upgrades.
For example, it flaunts charming new light-fixtures and a pair of closets with mirror doors.
But the most impressive overhaul is the ensuite bath.
This 5-piece bath has undergone a total visual and physical revamp.
Residents can enjoy dual sinks and vanities, brand new cabinets, a walk-in shower with frosted doors, and a soaker tub.
Creative touches include chic new faucets, contemporary lighting, and a gorgeous quartz countertop.
And it all comes harmoniously together through the simple and sparing use of neutral colours.
5 Rowntree Rd Unit 1404 – Second Bedroom & Bath
The second bedroom also connects to the balcony and sports wall-to-wall windows.
As a result, it gets even more sunlight and commands better views than the master bedroom.
Like the master suite, the second bedroom has dusky laminate floors which gleam in the faintest light.
Part of its overhaul includes new light-fixtures and a large walk-in closet with mirror doors.
Despite the weather, the second bedroom is still well-lit and affords sweeping views of South Etobicoke.
Although it lacks an ensuite bath, there’s a washroom just across the hall.
Like the master ensuite, this bathroom has also been fully refurbished.
Improvements include new ceramic floors and tiles, a quartz countertop, white cabinets, a fashionable faucet, and a silver-trim vanity with contemporary lighting.
5 Rowntree Rd Unit 1404 – Balcony
The balcony’s glass panels and concrete walls combine openness with privacy.
It’s also very roomy, with enough space for several chairs, tables and a grill.
Who cares for a backyard barbecue when you can grill on the 14th floor?
The balcony’s greatest attraction, however, is the view it offers.
Residents can take in the Humber Valley Ravine while enjoying a burger.
