180 Merton Street

180 Merton is a charming redbrick Townhome complex, which affords its residents a gated community experience in Toronto’s Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. Constructed in 2001, these luxurious suites offer a unique home to those lucky enough to purchase one of the Toronto condos for sale within. The location couldn't be more perfectly suited to this complex — Merton Street is peaceful and serene, with tree lined sidewalks and well kept gardens.

Nobody chooses a building like 180 Merton for its amenities — they choose it for its space and luxury, but this property does have some extras; a parking garage, privacy gate, and outdoor barbecue space.

Unlike other condos or townhomes in the city with laundry lists of amenities, the focus of 180 here is on the suites themselves. These townhomes are around 2000 square feet, offer 3 storeys of living space, available in 3 bedroom and 3 bedroom + den layouts. Suites are spacious and absolutely stunning, with finishes to match — granite countertops, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances and gas fireplaces.

Luxury is paramount in this complex, as is evident by massive master bedrooms, large walk-in closets and private rooftop terraces on the third floor. Additionally, residents have private garages, so there is no need to clear off the car before heading out.

Situated in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood — a highly desirable family friendly community — this midtown Toronto location is ideal for mature couples and families.

For families with young children, there are several daycare options in the area, like Tiny Bumblebees Childcare Inc. and Special Moments Child Care Centre. For older kids, there are many primary, middle, and high schools within a few kilometres. Toronto Film School is just around the corner for those seeking a career in cinema. University students can take a bus and connect to the subway, making for a relatively short commute to Ryerson or The University of Toronto.

Another plus for 180 Merton is the Gardener Kay Beltline trail — just minutes from your front door. Whether you’re going for a run, enjoying an afternoon walk, or simply ensuring that the kids get some fresh air — this trail offers a nature reprieve from busy city life.

Mount Pleasant boasts some excellent restaurants for satisfying food cravings; there is Chacho’s for Mexican food, Smoked & Cracked for lobster rolls or an entire lobster if you’re really hungry, or Starving Artist if you’re hankering for some waffles.

Sometimes you just need a quiet place to enjoy a relaxing drink — you’ll find plenty of them in this community, all along Yonge and Mt. Pleasant Road.

Mount Pleasant West is definitely a driver friendly neighbourhood, but it is a walkable area as well. You may still require a vehicle or public transit in order to complete daily errands, however, there is a Sobeys within walking distance on Balliol Street.

For those who ride the TTC, you can bus or walk to the Davisville-Yonge subway stop and quickly reach your desired destination.

Drivers can pull out of their private garages and enjoy a short commute to the Don Valley Parkway via Danforth Avenue.
