For sale: Apartment

An exceptionally rare, magnificent offering: two seamlessly connected penthouses totalling nearly 2500 sq.ft. at Studio Argyle, Domicile's loft conversion steps from the Canal and Glebe. This sophisticated residence blends grand proportions, authentic industrial character and modern comfort. It offers up to five bedrooms, soaring ceilings, abundant light from floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights, many updates and an unobstructed view of the Nature Museum. The terraces add close to 1000 sq.ft. more space for private outdoor living, lounging, dining and entertaining, with a pergola, gas BBQ and 2 fire pits. The versatile layout spans two substantial wings, adaptable to different households and lifestyles. Its five enclosed rooms are used as two bedrooms, two offices and a gym. PH4 centres on an open-concept gourmet kitchen with six-burner gas range, two ovens and extensive ceiling-height cabinetry; an inviting living and dining area opening to the terrace; a large home office; and a primary bedroom with two-way fireplace and walk-in closet. The ensuite has double sinks and an oversized rainfall shower; a second full bath enjoys a dry sauna and steam shower with body jets. A gallery hallway links PH4 and PH6. PH6 has a generous family room for relaxed gatherings, large office, full bath, powder room and laundry. PH6 has its own full-scale fitness studio with room for cardio and strength equipment plus yoga/floor work, with large windows, automated blinds and direct terrace access. The former kitchen, now a bedroom, also accesses the terrace. Its cabinetry and infrastructure remain; the island is stored to preserve the ability to reinstate the kitchen. Offered strictly together as one sale, each unit retains a separate entrance, parking space and storage locker; the two indoor parking spots are side-by-side. The result: one sprawling, cohesive and adaptable home today with meaningful future flexibility, including the option to restore the two-penthouse configuration.
