Bloorline Lofts

Flats, two and three storey spaces feature brick walls, large windows and wooden ceilings. While the ground level lofts tend to be a bit dark, they have private entrances and some of them have patios. Upper level units are bright and airy. The location provides easy walking distance to the subway. Pets are allowed. Management company is Goldview Property Managment, 416-630-1234.
