Cross Streets: Yonge St/Weldrick Rd E. ** Directions: Yonge St turn on Clarissa Dr and Weldrick Rd E. Rise above it all in the heart of Richmond Hill. Perched on the penthouse level of Tridel's celebrated Gibraltar II, PH22 is a sun-washed retreat of approx. 1,100 sq ft where every window frames the sky. Look south over a sea of treetops that turns to gold each autumn, and on clear days watch the Toronto skyline shimmer on the horizon. Mornings begin in light: rich hardwood floors glow beneath floor-to-ceiling windows, and the open living and dining room flows out to a private south-facing balcony made for slow coffees and quiet evenings. The kitchen, with granite counters, crisp white cabinetry and a pass-through to the dining room, keeps the cook in the conversation. Two corner bedrooms wrapped in glass feel like rooms among the clouds, and two full baths, one with an oversized glass shower and granite vanity, complete the picture. Two underground parking spaces and a locker add rare everyday ease. Step outside your door into a resort of your own: gated, landscaped grounds with a 24/7 gatehouse, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis, squash, sauna, gym, theatre, billiards, library, party room, guest suites and BBQ area. Beyond the gates, the city's heartbeat is at your feet. Stroll the Yonge corridor between 16th Ave and Weldrick Rd (Walk Score 81) to cafes and restaurants, browse 130+ stores at Hillcrest Mall, or catch a show at the Centre for the Performing Arts and a book at the Central Library. Wander the meadows and woodland paths of your neighbour, David Dunlap Observatory Park, a National Historic Site with 3.7 km of trails and stargazing nights beneath its famous dome, then circle the heritage Mill Pond or follow the South Richvale Greenway along the river. YRT and Viva are steps away, Richmond Hill GO and Hwy 407 minutes off, and the Yonge North Subway Extension is on its way. Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital is close by, as are Alexander Mackenzie HS (IB program) and St. Joseph Catholic Elementary. This is penthouse living at the centre of it all. (id:27476)
