Welcome to 2853 Ontario Road NW #508, a haven designed for the urban buyer seeking a place that reflects their distinct lifestyle. Outside, the building’s iconic Beaux-Arts exterior sets the tone for the mix of character and elegance you’ll find in this fifth floor escape. Past the threshold, an entryway spills into the main living and dining area that’s punctuated by 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, a decorative fireplace with marble tiling, abundant natural light, crown molding, and a canopy with original detailing. Throughout the entire home, western-facing exposures provide idyllic views of the verdant courtyard below, while chic light fixtures add a touch of modern flair. Thoughtfully separated from the prime living space, the kitchen serves up gourmet appliances, gas-cooking, and tall cabinetry, creating the perfect backdrop for all your culinary adventures. Around the corner, the sunlit bathroom features an under-window storage cabinet, a pedestal sink, a separate armoire, and a clawfoot tub (with shower) built to help you slip into serenity after a long day. Steps away, the spacious bedroom makes room for both a bed and a workspace, allowing you to channel relaxation or productivity no matter the day’s demands. Beyond the notable advantages #508 has in store, life at the Ontario is just as noteworthy. Here, residents have exclusive access to an impressive lineup of amenities — from the front desk that’s open 7 days a week to the panoramic rooftop deck, the summer pavilion, the herb garden, the shared social room, and the state-of-the-art fitness center. Some other resident-only perks? Pet-friendly permissions, additional storage, laundry on each level, rental parking, and community gatherings held annually.
