It’s not often a Toronto condo makes me stop scrolling. But\u00a0in a market full of copy-and-paste condos, 301- 113 Dupont St. feels like it was actually meant to be seen.<\/p>\n

Before becoming a residence, this particular unit started life as an open gallery \u2014 a blank, light-filled canvas that eventually evolved into a highly curated home.<\/p>\n

“This unit is very special,”\u00a0listing agent Richard Himelfarb told blogTO. “When it was bought, it was actually a gallery, and the builder created the space for the owners within the unit. It was all open.”<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That origin story explains a lot. The nearly 15-foot ceilings, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, and multiple skylights make the entire space feel more like an exhibition hall than a traditional condo \u2014 in the best possible way.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The bright primary ensuite bathroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Himelfarb, the loft was owned by a prominent figure in Toronto’s design scene, someone who helped shape several institutions that still exist today \u2014 which adds another layer of creative legacy to the already striking space.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The kitchen and dining area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The unit sits inside the iconic 113 Dupont Lofts, a boutique conversion completed in 2010 after the former commercial office building was transformed into just seven oversized residences.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The incredible ceiling height lets you use the walls to their maximum potential.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With roughly 45,000 square feet divided between only a handful of homes, privacy is basically built into the DNA of the building. Industrial materials like brick, steel, glass, and zinc panelling nod to its past life, while the minimalist interiors feel distinctly modern.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The open concept living, dining and kitchen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inside the loft, the dramatic vertical space immediately takes centre stage.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The main living area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The main living area unfolds beneath towering ceilings, anchored by a sleek gas fireplace and framed by walls of glass that flood the interior with natural light from every direction.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The kitchen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite its architectural edge, the layout feels surprisingly approachable. The Schiffini kitchen \u2014 outfitted with a full suite of Miele appliances \u2014 anchors the open-concept space with a massive island.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The primary bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s minimal, but warm. Polished, but not precious.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

An office space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unlike many loft conversions that prioritize aesthetics over practicality, this one manages to do both.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The second bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each bedroom comes with its own private ensuite, creating a rare sense of balance and privacy.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The primary ensuite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The primary suite leans into spa-like luxury with a walk-in closet, a deep soaker tub, a steam shower, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling tile detailing.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The powder room.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There’s also a powder room for guests.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The dining area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Outdoor space comes in the form of a private balcony plus two Juliet balconies, subtly extending the airy feel of the interior.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And in a neighbourhood where parking can feel like a competitive sport, the inclusion of two parking spaces and a large private locker is a quiet but significant flex.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The second bedroom ensuite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Positioned just steps from The Annex, Yorkville, and Casa Loma, the loft sits at the intersection of some of Toronto’s most iconic neighbourhoods \u2014 close enough to the action, but tucked away enough to feel discreet.<\/p>\n

\"301-113<\/p>\n

The second bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Which feels fitting for a home that started as an art gallery, evolved through the vision of a major design-world figure, and now exists as one of the city’s most quietly impressive architectural hideaways.<\/p>\n
