Buongiorno Bianca! Boutique luxury meets the Annex energy everyone wishes they had. This architecturally striking 1-bedroom plus den suite is anything but cookie-cutter. Designed by Teeple Architects, Bianca is known for its bold modern design, white terraced exterior, and floor-to-ceiling glass that makes the building feel more like art than real estate. Inside, this thoughtfully designed suite delivers functional space with built-in kitchen appliances, sleek, contemporary finishes, and a den so large it has actual doors. Rare MLS moment alert: it can comfortably function as a second bedroom, guest space, office, Peloton headquarters, or your "I need five minutes of silence" room. The north-facing balcony offers an escape from the city buzz with peaceful open views and natural light pouring through the suite. Parking and locker included because hunting for street parking in the Annex is a character building experience nobody asked for. Residents enjoy premium amenities including a concierge, fully equipped gym, outdoor pool, party room, and rooftop deck perfect for summer hangouts, morning coffee, or pretending you're in a boutique hotel somewhere more expensive. Location-wise, it's hard to beat. Located in the heart of the Annex, you're steps to some of Toronto's best local gems, including Casa Loma, Dupont Subway Station, Summerhill Market, The Madison Ave Pub, Ezra's Pound, Creeds Coffee Bar, and the endless cafes, restaurants, and independent shops along Bloor. TTC access makes downtown commuting easy, though once you move here, you may never want to leave the neighbourhood again. Stylish, functional, and packed with personality. Just like the best Annex residents. As per the Landlord's direction, the listing brokerage will not permit property showings unless the Tenant is represented by a realtor. If the Listing Agent is asked to show the property directly, full income and credit score documentation must be provided and verified before any visit is arranged.

How this lease stacks up against the local rental market
Estimated Monthly Budget
Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?
· Are pets and small renovations (paint, hooks) allowed?
· When was the last rent increase, if there is a prior tenant?
Utility estimates are approximate and vary by season, habits, and what the landlord includes. Always confirm inclusions with the listing agent.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fairly Priced Rental
At $2,900/mo, this is in line with typical 2-bedroom rents in Yorkville (~$2,900/mo). The rent itself may be firm, but there's often room to negotiate on lease terms — move-in date, appliance inclusions, or parking.
Market Position
At 15 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Efficient Living
At 600 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Lease Terms to Negotiate
Don't just focus on the monthly rent — the lease terms matter just as much. I always advise my rental clients to clarify: what's included (parking, storage, utilities), the lease length options, the landlord's policy on renewals, and whether small personalizations like painting are permitted. These details can make or break your experience over 12–24 months.
Let's Walk Through It Together
Photos can't tell you about traffic noise, natural light at different times of day, or how well the landlord maintains the property. When we view it together, I'll assess the condition of appliances, HVAC, and finishes — and flag anything that might become a headache. I'll also help you understand the lease terms before you sign anything.
