Contemporary Charm Meets Skyline Views At This Roncy Condo

If you’ve ever wished you could live among the trees without giving up the skyline — or be steps from a farmer’s market and still catch the CN Tower from your terrace — this Roncesvalles condo might just check all your boxes.Tucked into a mid-rise building just off Roncesvalles Avenue, Suite 618 at 38 Howard Park Avenue delivers the kind of lifestyle balance you don’t often see in Toronto condos. It’s not a sky-high tower, nor a heritage walk-up — but something smart in between: a contemporary, design-forward residence that actually feels grounded in its neighbourhood. Not to mention it's a five minute walk to the biggest backyard in the city, High Park. Inside, the 2-bed, 2-bath suite is clean and quietly elegant, with wide-plank hardwood, floor-to-ceiling glass, and a split-bedroom layout that gives everyone a little breathing room. The open living area is the social centre of the home, leading directly onto one of the biggest perks of this unit: a 240+ sq. ft. terrace that wraps the southern edge of the building.And this isn’t just any outdoor space. With two defined zones, a gas line, and water hookup, this terrace is ready for just about anything — morning espresso, evening barbecue, or late-night city gazing. From here, you can see the CN Tower rising above the canopy of High Park and Roncy rooftops, a reminder that you’re never far from the action, even when things feel calm.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Our Favourite ThingThe terrace — not just for its size, but for its functionality. Split into two zones with gas and water lines already in place, it invites real use: weekday dinners, container gardens, even a cozy fire table setup. It’s rare to find outdoor space this versatile in a mid-rise, especially one with a view.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The kitchen leans quietly luxe with integrated Bosch and Thermador appliances, Caesarstone surfaces, and full-height cabinetry that takes full advantage of the ceiling height. And while the finishes are undeniably modern, there’s nothing cold about this space — it feels liveable, welcoming, and a little more considered than most.SpecsAddress: 38 Howard Park Avenue #618, TorontoBedrooms: 2Bathrooms: 2Listed At: $1,179,000Listed By: Ian Matthews, RE/MAX Prime Properties - Unique GroupBeyond the unit itself, the building sits at the crossroads of convenience and character. Roncesvalles is one of those rare Toronto pockets where things still feel human-scaled — where bakeries, bookshops, and bars still thrive, and locals can actually walk to the train, the streetcar, or the park. (Pro tip: the UP Express is just a short stroll away — Pearson in 25, Union in 8.)Whether you’re swapping a house for a more manageable footprint, getting your foot in the west-end market, or simply craving a home that reflects both style and street life, Suite 618 makes a convincing case.WELCOME TO 38 HOWARD PARK AVENUE #618LIVING, KITCHEN, AND DININGBEDS AND BATHSOFFICE______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________This article was produced in partnership with STOREYS Custom Studio.
