1 Saint Thomas Street Suite 1A

The Details

Welcome to Suite 1A, the only maisonette at One Saint Thomas Street, a New York-inspired, 29-storey art-deco masterpiece designed by the award-winning architect Robert A. M. Stern, a postmodern architect whose buildings incorporate a variety of international historical styles. His other notable works include the famous 15 Central Park West and 220 Central Park South in Manhattan. With its thoughtful limestone and ivory precast exterior, this elegant building that was inspired by and echoes the limestone Art Deco caps of the nearby Whitney Block in Queen’s Park embodies many of the architectural hallmarks for which Stern has become renowned, while also making its own mark through its unique blend of classical style, enhanced with contemporary features. To complete the building’s artistic statement, the lobbies have been recently beautifully decorated by Robert Stern ––creating a perfect symbiosis between the architecture and the furnishings, with its elegance standing as a testament to his architectural mastery.

The interior of suite 1A, designed by Brian Gluckstein, exemplifies luxury and meticulous craftsmanship.

This maisonette suite holds a distinguished place in Toronto, notable as one of very few only multi-level maisonette residences, providing a luxurious and expansive living area that is quite different in scale from the narrow townhomes and is more like the monumental open spaces of a loft. The design is sophisticated and has premium finishes that are unique to this particular suite. In addition to its bi-level layout, this maisonette’s practicality cannot be overlooked. The direct street access on the main level enhances convenience and charm without compromising privacy while access from the second level seamlessly connects to the building’s amenities through secure condo access.

When stepping into this three-thousand-eight-hundred-square-foot suite, one should pay special attention to the self-contained front hall vestibule and front hall closet, between the door from the lobby and the suite itself,which are especially inviting and practical.

The expansive foyer is set with deliciously dark walnut flooring and soaring 11-foot ceilings. In an exceptional architectural maneuver, the impressive height of this space is unique in this building (except for the penthouse) and in the Yorkville area –– and is achieved continuously through the majestic first floor without the use of coffers. Unique to the suite, the remarkably high ceiling imparts a sense of grandeur, transforming the living and dining room into a power statement. This space is complemented by a sophisticated and very glamorous two-piece powder room. Another notable feature of this space is the direct access to the second level via a private elevator.

The entire main level of this pristine suite unfolds into vast living areas, where the luminous southern and western exposures guarantee that natural light floods the rooms through expansive windows lining its perimeter. The enduring elegance of the space is heightened by classic design features such as plaster, beautifully painted cornices and detailed moldings, enhancing the architectural sophistication.

The living room, a sanctuary for relaxation, is adorned with a charming remote control gas fireplace, built-in bookcases, and striking silvered mirrors on either side. This space flows seamlessly into the generous dining room, both areas conceived to comfortably host up your next large dinner party.

The sun-drenched eat-in kitchen, featuring a much augmented custom Downsview Kitchen with stone countertops and high-end Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and includes a large walk-in pantry, all near the front door, which is near the Manulife Centre. Adjacent to this, a breakfast room offers the perfect setting for savoring your morning newspaper and coffee, crafting an ideal space for the start of your day and an appealing intimate evening family dinner. Additional fold-up chairs are easily stored in the mechanical room across from the pantry.

Accessibility within the suite is effortlessly managed by the luxurious carpeted turning stairs, that make this suite feel like a house and not an apartment, and the elevator,that leads to the upper level, where luxury continues with two well-appointed bedrooms, a den, and two bathrooms.

The primary bedroom is truly magnificent, featuring a sitting area, spacious open layout, and lots of natural light.
