Condo of the week: 295 Davenport Road

This two-level suite at the corner of Davenport and Bedford Road is new to market, currently listed for $798,000. Located in the Creed Building, a 1930s fur warehouse converted into lofts, the one-plus-den spans 1,200 square feet with high ceilings and a telling history.

In a time when Yorkville was more bohemian, that upscale, the curved brick building was used to store furs until bankruptcy hit in the late 80s. The low-rise building was constructed just before the millennium, consisting of 19 chic loft-style units, the largest around 2,100 square feet.

Feeling more like a spacious townhouse than a condo, the black-and-white unit features a combined living and small dining area and a second floor master bedroom with an open layout. There's a south-facing terrace connected to the master and even in this low-rise building, you still have a nice view of the city. Also included is a locker and two-car underground parking.

With massive towers and the upscale Yorkville hood just around the corner, it's rare to find a large suite under $1 million anymore. In any case, it's a sweet suite in the stylish Creed Building. Check out the photos and see if you agree.
