Live at the Malthouse Lofts - a three-storey loft residence whose award-recognized renovation (a 2023 RenoMark Awards GTA finalist for Best Condominium Renovation Over $200,000) makes it one of the most distinctive leases in the east end.This is no ordinary rental but a ground-up reimagining of one of Toronto's most storied historic buildings, where turn-of-the-century character meets a level of finish you simply won't find in a typical condo.Over 1,400 sq ft spans three levels beneath 10-ft ceilings, where original exposed brick meets wide-plank hardwood, designer brass fixtures and a skylight pouring daylight through the home. The main level sets the tone: an oversized bedroom, a full bath finished in matte black with a striking patterned-tile floor, integrated Miele laundry, Skona cabinetry, and heated floors throughout. The second level is made for entertaining - an open-concept kitchen, living and dining space framed by exposed brick and oversized windows, anchored by custom two-tone cabinetry, stone countertops and stainless appliances.The upper level is where the home truly elevates. The primary bedroom offers generous built-in closets and a spa-inspired ensuite wrapped in hand-glazed teal tile, complete with a double vanity and brass sconces. The third bedroom makes a statement of its own, with a dramatic brick feature wall and the flexibility to serve as a bedroom, home office or studio. Step out to your own private 340 sq ft rooftop terrace - an open-air retreat above the historic district. Underground parking and a locker are included. Outside your door: the DVP trails and parks, the farmers' market, dog-friendly greens, with Leslieville, the Distillery District and St. Lawrence Market strolls away, the Financial District roughly 2 km away, and streetcar plus DVP/Gardiner access linking you to the whole city. Move-in ready and impeccably finished - loft rentals with this much character, space and craftsmanship rarely come along.

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?

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Above Market Rent
At $5,500/mo, this is asking above the typical 3-bedroom rent of ~$3,500/mo in Cabbagetown. That premium needs to be justified — newer finishes, included parking, a premium location, or utilities included. I'll help you assess whether it's worth it or whether there's room to negotiate.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Cabbagetown's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
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.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
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.
