Edilcan offers an executive alternative - all of the room you want at The Clairmont
There’s a new wave of homebuyers that won’t settle for less; they want more.
More space; more style; more like the comforts of home that you’re used to. More is what you’ll find at The Clairmont. Designed with an upscale lifestyle in mind it puts you at home on Yonge Street just south of St. Clair at Balmoral. The neighbourhood has everything; there are boutiques and businesses, services and restaurants that range from the necessary to the specialty to the divine. The subway is just a few steps up the street making it easy to get to the office or pop by Yorkville for lunch.
The manicured side streets are lined with gracious residences, and this neighbourhood’s reputation of refinement and elegance is well-deserved. The neighbourhood is a big draw to a wide range of condo shoppers, and will have great appeal to those who would like to downsize, have the ease of a maintenance-free lifestyle or have the ease of single level living but don’t want to leave the area.
Size is relative to individual needs, and The Clairmont recognizes that, for some, the alternative to the executive home is a luxury suite, a condominium where every suite is penthouse style living. The Clairmont offers this kind of home. In this 14-storey terraced tower, a combination of upscale appointments finish a superb range of suite designs that span from 535 sq. ft. to over 2,230 sq. ft. There are many unique suites at The Clairmont, there really is a design to suit everyone’s needs; perfect space for luxury living in the middle of the city.
From the moment you enter directly from Yonge Street, you will feel the transition from the city pace to the comforts of home. The boutique-hotel style lobby designed by Toronto’s renowned designer Mike Niven boasts a gorgeous complement of granite wood and stone finishes. A uniformed concierge is at the post in the lobby 24-hours a day for your convenience and security, monitoring the building’s closed circuit cameras and two way intercoms. Passing through the gorgeous lobby, two custom-designed elevators are ready whisk you silently to your home.
A quick stop on the second floor will reveal The Clairmont Club. This is a private, fully equipped exercise facility with men’s and women’s steam rooms, showers and lockered change rooms. Work out on your own time, in your own home, in the elegant and well-designed surroundings of The Clairmont.
Continue on up to the sixth floor to enjoy The Clairmont lounge and terrace. This stylish sixth floor retreat and entertaining area is the perfect place to escape to with a book or a neighbour, or to relax with some friends. The landscaped terrace offers spectacular city views clear to the CN Tower and the lake, and, opening off the entertaining space, will be enjoyed by guests as they join you on festive occasions. Send out the invitations and let the catering staff do the rest. The gourmet kitchen, bar, private dining room, fireplace and lounge seating will accommodate parties in fine style.
The condos have been designed to suit your needs, from space to function, all without compromising style. Kitchens are designed to be the space the chef dreams of, with plenty of space to work and lots of storage in the built in pantries and European inspired cabinetry. Task lighting under upper cabinets are a beautiful way to illuminate the backsplash and the counters as you work on the granite counter top. Stainless steel appliances are a perfect accent in these chic kitchens. The brand-name appliances include refrigerator, multicycle dishwasher, built-in cooktop and oven and a stainless-steel hoodfan on the wall or over the island, as per plan. Name-brand full-sized washer and dryer are furnished with the in-suite laundry.
A gorgeous array of finishes used throughout the condos gives them a fabulous variety of materials, colours and textures. The gleam of steel, the texture of granite, the engineered wood, marble or porcelain tile floors, the stone and marble of the vanity tops in the bathroom and the cushioning softness of high quality 50 oz broadloom in the carpeted areas have been put together in an excellent combination to set each other off exquisitely in The Clairmont condos.
Each suite has its own private balcony, most are furniture sized so that you can enjoy the sunshine, brunch outside or just throw open the doors to allow a summer breeze to waft through your suite. Quite a number of suites enjoy more than one balcony, giving the master suite a private retreat; taking advantage of multiple exposures; flooding rooms with light through wide sliding glass doors. Impressive terraces are available. The Stafford is an spacious 2-bedroom plus den condo that offers an impressive 639-sq.-ft. terrace that wraps around the corner of this suite while placing a 96-sq.-ft. balcony along the kitchen and bedroom with walk-outs from each.
Innovative layouts offer a selection of both contemporary, open concepts and traditional formal rooms. With a variety of interesting features incorporated into different plans, suites will feel customized to your individual needs. The one-bedroom Lanesborough is 635 sq. ft. A perfect pied-a-terre, it maximizes on space, extending a study off of the foyer, separating it from the main area of the suite without enclosing it, while the 949-sq.-ft. Halkin has closed it off affording it a bit more privacy. The two-bedroom 810-sq.-ft. Newton tucks a study into a bedroom alcove, offering a perfect spot for the computer without it taking over the room and a wonderful design for those that would turn the second bedroom into a home office.
The St. Martin’s Lane is a one-bedroom plus den condo that offers a loft-like layout. The bedroom is in the interior of the suite instead of up against a window, giving it lots of extra wall space for decorating. But the bedroom has two doors, one close to the washroom, the other a sliding wall so it can be opened onto the den, joining the bedroom into the living space for wonderful lazy days at home.
The 1,210-sq.-ft. two-bedroom Grosvenor offers a traditional house layout. Entering, a formal foyer gives you the option of tuning left or right. To the right are the expansive living room and a bedroom, both enjoying the large balcony. To the left is the expansive dining room and master bedroom with ensuite, also enjoying the large balcony. The galley kitchen is in the middle, offering walk-though access from living room to dining room and the suite takes up the entire width of The Clairmont, taking advantage of three exposures.
Looking at the larger suites, there is an amazing variety of suites that offer much more space than most average condominiums, but then again, there is nothing average about The Clairmont. Starting at just under 1,100 sq. ft. and ranging up to 2,230 sq. ft., these suites offer features that parallel the area’s upscale homes. These incorporate the same magnificent finishes and appointments of all of the smaller suites, they just offer more in the way of space.
These are a perfect option for people downsizing from massive homes, who just can’t see downsizing from executive sized homes to under 1,000 sq. ft.; who don’t want to give up their lifestyle or their grand furnishings just to give up the unused space of their current home, now that the nest is empty. These are perfect for those that want the condo lifestyle with an above average home and the ease of single level living.
These are also the perfect accommodation for those that want an inlaw or nanny suite as many designs offer two master bedrooms or a second bedroom with full ensuite. They are also perfect for those who desire the luxury of a truly spacious and open 1- 2- or 3-bedroom suite.
These sprawling designs include formal rooms and elaborate foyers. The 2,140-sq.-ft. Savoy has a Great Room which easily accommodates a grand piano without overpowering the room. One of the two master bedrooms includes a separate home gym within the bedroom. His and hers walk-in closets could easily be mistaken for guest rooms. The lavish ensuite lets him and her get ready simultaneously; better than just a double vanity, the ensuite is actually two separate rooms attached in the middle by the shower. His has a toilet and vanity, hers a toilet, vanity and a deep soaker tub that she might let him visit.
The Hyde Park is 1,600 sq. ft. The flexible design can offer either three generous bedrooms, two bedroom plus a study or den, or you can opt for one incredibly large family/dining room.
The 1,096 sq. ft. Stafford is a two-bedroom plus den that offers very formal space. The kitchen, like traditional eat-in kitchens, is completely enclosed. Preparing meals and hosting dinner parties is ideal as swinging doors lead to the elegant dining room. The kitchen is also accessed form the central hall.
From smallest to largest, whichever design fits your needs best, you can be assured that the comforts of home at The Clairmont are sublime. Prices start from the $190s.
