Space, Light & Stillness in the City
Some homes are built. Others are composed—layer by layer, detail by detail—with equal parts vision and heart.
This three-bedroom, two-bathroom corner suite in the most refined pocket of King West is one of those rare offerings. It’s not just the architectural bones or the rare 300 sq/ft terrace, or even the unobstructed skyline views that make this home so special. It’s the way everything flows. The calm it holds. The quiet kind of luxury that asks for nothing, yet gives everything.
Positioned at the end of the hallway in a boutique building—where no one lives above you (it’s just their terrace vs actual living space) and the foot traffic is near silent—you arrive home to a kind of hush that’s increasingly rare in downtown living. Slide open any of the three walkouts—off the living room, the office, or the primary suite—and you're immediately greeted by open air and sky. The terrace spans the full length of the unit, with no balcony above, just light, air, and a sense of openness that makes evenings feel cinematic. It’s fully outfitted with a gas line and water hookup, making it a true outdoor extension of the home.
1 Shaw St #912
Inside, the space has been entirely reimagined with a reverence for craftsmanship and clarity. Wide-plank European white oak flooring grounds the suite in warmth and texture. The kitchen, designed by Wolstencroft, is both sculptural and supremely functional—with Silestone counters, integrated Miele appliances (including a 36” dual-fuel range with six gas burners), full-height pantry storage, and a place for every tool, bottle, and spice. Nothing was left to chance—only intention.
Bathrooms are beautifully appointed with porcelain from Ciot and Porcelanosa, soft LED lighting, and curated fixtures. The guest suite offers its own 4-piece bath and private balcony—an elegant, self-contained retreat. The primary suite features custom closets, motorized blackout blinds, and acoustic treatments that make the world outside feel a million miles away.
Throughout the space, thoughtful details whisper rather than shout:
Raised door frames.
Custom Canadian lighting.
Ultra-quiet venting.
Sound-dampening drywall.
California Closets.
Hand-selected hardware.
A wine fridge for 153 bottles.
Every element, chosen for a reason. Every finish, layered with intention. Not to impress—but to endure.
And then there’s the location. A tucked-away stretch of King West, where culinary stars quietly launch their newest quests, where you can stroll to the city’s best dining or take the streetcar in minutes. Boutique energy with world-class access.
This is not just another condo. It’s a home with presence. With peace.
It was designed to be lived in—and loved—for a long time.

The Neighbourhood: Sophisticated City Living at King & Shaw
Set just west of the downtown core, 1 Shaw Street sits in one of Toronto’s most sought-after enclaves—where King West's polished energy meets the creative pulse of Ossington and Dundas West. This is where the city’s most discerning residents land: foodies, design lovers, urban explorers, and those who crave a balance of vibrant culture and everyday convenience.
Here, you’re perfectly placed to enjoy everything—without ever needing a car. That said, if you do plan to escape the city, you’re moments from the QEW and just 10 minutes to Billy Bishop Airport. For summer nights, Budweiser Stage is walkable—making it easy to catch last-minute concerts or host the ultimate pre-show gatherings before strolling over to one of Toronto’s coolest venues.
For the Culturally Curious:
Hop on the King streetcar (right outside your door) for a direct line to the city’s finest stages—Royal Alexandra Theatre, Princess of Wales, Roy Thomson Hall, and the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. And when TFC plays or FIFA 2026 rolls into town? You’re already in position. BMO Field and Exhibition Place are a breezy walk or bike ride away.
For the Wellness-Focused:
This neighbourhood is steeped in a wellness-forward lifestyle. Whether your ideal routine is athletic, restorative, or both—you’ll find world-class options just steps from your door.
For those seeking peak performance and luxury amenities, 10XTO offers an elevated club experience with tennis and squash courts, advanced strength and cardio equipment, personal training, and a social atmosphere that feels more like a private members' club than a traditional gym.
Altea Active, only a short walk away, has become a go-to for those serious about both movement and recovery. Beyond its beautifully equipped 25-metre lap pool, Altea recently introduced a Contrast Therapy Circuit that includes two cold plunges and an infrared sauna—ideal for post-workout regeneration or mental reset. Their new Recovery Lounge is equally impressive, featuring:
✨ 4 Human Touch deep-tissue massage chairs
✨ 2 Normatec Elite leg compression therapy stations on anti-gravity chairs
✨ 6 Hyperice II Pro massage guns
Whether you're sweating, soaking, or decompressing, this is wellness on a whole new level.
Looking for something more introspective? The Othership studio nearby is part breathwork sanctuary, part social sauna experience—perfect for anyone wanting to blend mindfulness with community in a space that’s as aesthetically beautiful as it is grounding.
With the lakefront trail just a stroll away, Trillium Park, and multiple bike paths at your doorstep, wellness here isn’t something you have to schedule—it's built into the rhythm of your day.
For the Food Obsessed:
Toronto dominated Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants list this year—and many of those top spots are in your backyard. Think Mamakas on Ossington, Sushi Masaki Saito, Aloette, Edulis, and Quetzal. Grab arguably the best slice in town at Pizza Badiali or soak in the buzz at Superpoint or Lenny’s. Stop for Bang Bang ice cream on Ossington, shop local at Trinity Bellwoods Farmers Market, or pick up a fresh loaf at Brodflour.
For Everyday Ease:
Walkability here is a 10/10. From wine bars to vintage shops, groceries to gourmet—everything is at your feet. Stock your pantry at Longo’s or Metro, grab essentials at Canadian Tire, or browse the boutiques of Ossington for one-of-a-kind finds.
And For the Unexpected Joys:
Pop-up art shows, late-night dumplings, DO WEST and OssFest street parties, a surprise ticket to an indie concert at the lake, or a spontaneous night out followed by a quiet walk home under the city lights.
Life at 1 Shaw is about more than convenience—it’s about living well, effortlessly. It’s a lifestyle designed for people who know exactly what they love, and where to find it.
