Cross Streets: Carlaw & Queen. ** Directions: north of Queen St. Colgate, Courtyards & Chimney Swifts. Suite 402 at 88 Colgate is proof that you don't have to choose between a great location and a quiet retreat. Set into the building's north courtyard, this one-bedroom looks past the treeline to the historic smokestacks next door (yes, the chimney swifts come with the view) and glimpses of the Riverdale rooftops beyond. Enough sky to catch a proper sunset, enough green to forget you're in the city.This isn't your typical one-bedroom. Custom closets throughout add real storage where most units come up short, and recent upgrades mean the big-ticket items are already done: new washer and dryer (2026), new fridge (2025), and updated lighting in the kitchen, bathroom, and entryway (2026), plus a new Ecobee thermostat and light fixtures.The chef's kitchen delivers on both form and function, with a gas range, quartz countertops, full-sized appliances, and smart storage. The open living space flows beautifully, with exposed brick, natural light, and room to host or unwind. Comfortably fitting a king, the large primary bedroom offers a real retreat with a view of its own. The private balcony, just off the living space, works overtime as your warm-weather living room.Parking and a locker are included. The building itself is one of Leslieville's favourites, with a 24/7 concierge, ground-level gym, and party room, all a short walk to Ricky and Olivia, Masa's Deli, Mercury Espresso, and Petite Thuet, plus transit that puts downtown and the Danforth within easy reach.This is Leslieville at its best - private, polished, and ready for you to move in.
