Steps from Yorkville and the subway, this two-level penthouse has floor-to-ceiling windows, and a 1,300 sq.-ft., wraparound balcony and second floor terrace with unobstructed views of the cityscape and CN Tower.

Recently renovated, this chic urban condo suite features an open concept main living space with soaring ceilings, hardwood floors and built-ins.

“The clear southerly views of the city ... that include the east and west and all the way to Lake Ontario is what makes the experience of living in this condo so unique,” says homeowner Bruce Runions.

“My home’s interior is also large for condos being built now. From a custom living room built-in to a steam shower and Porcelanosa bathroom fixtures to Poliform closets, our recent interior renovations now match the calibre of the stunning views,” said Runions.

“After living in a house for a decade, the city lifestyle of being able to walk to the subway, restaurants, and shops is a dream,” he added.

This glass and steel 46-storey building with a five-storey podium has amenities which include a 24-hour concierge, a party room, a billiard room, a yoga studio, a gym, an outdoor pool and jacuzzi, two guest suites and visitor parking.

“A rare feature of this suite is its second-level den on the crown of the tower that could easily be transformed into a library,” says listing agent Scott Hanton. “There are only four, two-storey penthouses at the top of the building, and this one is this most finely finished.

Inside the condo, the front foyer has a hardwood floor, a double closet and access to a two-piece bathroom and laundry room.

The living room contains wraparound, floor-to-ceiling windows, a hardwood floor, a porcelain stone accent wall with TV and bordered by built-in shelves and cabinetry plus a concealed bar and bar fridge, and two sliding glass-door walkouts to the balcony.

Open to the living room, the dining room features a hardwood floor, floor-to ceiling windows, a contemporary chandelier, pot lights and a walkout to the balcony.

Overlooking both the living and dining rooms, the kitchen showcases a large island/breakfast bar with waterfall design and integrated sink, porcelain stone counters, built-in stainless steel appliances, sleek white cabinetry and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Highlights of the primary bedroom include a hardwood floor, a modern suspended light, wall sconces, floor-to-ceiling windows, a sliding glass-door walkout, a large walk-in closet with organizers and a five-piece ensuite.

The second bedroom includes a hardwood floor, floor-to-ceiling windows, a double closet and a four-piece ensuite.

The second-level den overlooks the living space below from a glass rail and is outfitted with a 15-foot ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows, a hardwood floor and a sliding door walkout to a spacious private terrace.
