Waterfront Communities C8, Toronto · MLS® C13569158
About this home
There's "downtown living," and then there's the absolute power move of showing up with nothing but a suitcase and immediately living like a design editor. Welcome to Suite 808 at 8 The Esplanade-a south-east corner sanctuary that delivers 826 square feet of refined, FULLY FURNISHED luxury. This isn't some uninspired rental; it's a turnkey masterpiece designed for the urbanite who refuses to spend their weekends assembling flat-pack furniture. The bones here are spectacular. Framed by nine-foot ceilings, pot lights, and rich hardwood floors, the layout feels bright, fluid, and intentional. The kitchen is a total design flex, custom-penned by the heavyweights at Munge Leung. With cool marble countertops, a proper center island, and a full suite of integrated premium Miele appliances, it's a space that looks just as good hosting a dinner party as it does pouring a quiet morning espresso. Step out onto the south-facing balcony for a massive infusion of natural light and a glimpse of the lake and harbour-a subtle reminder that the waterfront is your backyard. When the city life catches up to you, the primary suite treats you to a spa-inspired ensuite complete with a deep soaker tub meant for actual unwinding. Because true luxury always respects logistics, you also get an in-suite Miele washer/dryer, a dedicated locker, and a highly coveted parking spot inside this prestigious, LEED-certified address. The amenities here don't mess around either: a 24-hour concierge who actually knows the neighborhood secrets, an indoor pool, a real spa, and a fitness centre that rivals your boutique gym membership. Location-wise, you're at the literal axis of the city's best-steps to Union Station, St. Lawrence Market, the Financial District, and Toronto's top-tier dining rooms. Turnkey. High-Design. Completely effortless. Just bring your toothbrush and your standards.

Condition, finishes, and exact inclusions are still my in-person call.
The assigned public school is Market Lane Junior and Senior Public School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
