Tucked south of Queen Street, where the Beach reveals its quieter side, this sun-drenched corner suite offers something increasingly rare: calm, privacy, and a sense of home that doesn't feel like a condominium and more like a private bungalow retreat. The moment you step off Queen and into the courtyard and the city fades. The buzz of Queen Street disappears, replaced by stillness, light, and an unmistakable feeling of retreat. With just fourteen residences, the atmosphere is intimate and genuine - more community than building, more sanctuary than address.Inside, the home lives like a bungalow. Entirely on one level with no stairs, it's wrapped in wall-to-wall windows that pull sunlight through every room, all day long. The result is a space that feels open, cheerful, and quietly elevated.The interiors strike a refined, beach-inspired balance: engineered hardwood and marble floors underfoot, a thoughtfully renovated kitchen with custom cabinetry, stone counters, an undermount sink, and built-in stainless steel appliances that feel purposeful rather than performative. The spa bathroom is a standout - anchored by a rain shower that turns everyday routines into small rituals.Two private terraces extend the living space outdoors - one off the dining area, one from the primary bedroom - offering moments of privacy that feel rare this close to the water. Living here means the lake becomes part of your daily rhythm. Start your mornings with a walk along the shoreline, watch the seasons change over the water, or cycle the Martin Goodman Trail - a 56-kilometre stretch connecting the Rouge River to Humber Bay - just two minutes from your door. Afternoons spent wandering cafés, parks, shopping Queen St.and the boardwalk, all steps from your door. This is the Beach at its best - where surfers, bankers, and pro athletes share the same sidewalks, and where once you live in The Beach, there's nowhere else that compares. Parking and locker included. Quietly exceptional.
