121 Prescott Avenue, Etobicoke, M6N 3G8

If youve been holding out for the real deal - a true hard loft with character, space, and just the right amount of patina - this nearly 1,100 sq ft unit at 121 Prescott Ave #18 might be it. Housed in The Stockyard Lofts, a former 1890s leather factory turned post-and-beam conversion, this space doesn't imitate authenticity - it IS authentic. Original Douglas fir beams, exposed brick, and remnants of century-old hardwood floors set the tone when you walk in. Originally a 1+1, now a generous one-bedroom floor plan, the light pours through west-facing windows, catching the texture of heritage wood and warming the open-concept layout. The living area flows into a refreshingly un-condo kitchen: full-sized, functional, and built for people who cook. The bedroom offers a sense of separation and space, rare in loft living, while the updated 4-piece bath keeps things practical. The reasonable, all-inclusive maintenance fees are hard to beat, as well as a parking space, oversized locker, and neighbours who still nod hello. Tucked on a quiet, tree-lined street just blocks from the buzz of Corso Italia, Stockyards, and the Junction, this is Toronto with texture - not the kind flattened by glass towers and big box stores. If you've been not-so-patiently waiting for something with soul and space to make your own, its probably time to see it in person.
