While many people don't see the silver lining of Toronto's sluggish condo market , knocking a cool $1 million off the price of one of the city's most jaw-dropping lofts feels like a pretty decent consolation prize. Case in point: unit 201 at 113 Dupont St., tucked inside the ultra-exclusive 113 Dupont Lofts , has just seen its asking price slashed from $3,995,000 to $2,895,000 . Yes, that's still in "sell a kidney for the down payment" territory. But this isn't your average cookie-cutter condo. The foyer at 113 Dupont Lofts. Set inside a boutique building with just seven residences, the building itself is already unique. The main living and dining area. Originally a commercial office space, it was converted in 2010 into a collection of sprawling, design-forward lofts by Zinc Construction, led by developer Kenneth Zuckerman. The entrance to the unit. Located along a quiet stretch known as Designer's Walk, the building blends materials like exposed brick, steel, glass, and zinc panelling — a mix that gives it a distinctly industrial-meets-gallery feel. The dining area. Each unit was designed to be completely unique, which means no two spaces are alike. And unit 201 definitely understood the assignment. Big floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light. Inside, the space is all about texture and contrast. Exposed brick walls bring warmth, while white oak herringbone floors add a level of polish that keeps things feeling elevated rather than raw. The lighting fixtures alone look like they belong in a design showroom. The fireplace in the living room. The main living area is open-concept, with a fireplace anchoring the space — a detail that somehow makes a large, modern loft feel surprisingly cozy instead of cavernous. The kitchen. Then there's the kitchen, which is, of course, designer. The coffee and water station. We're talking a Sub-Zero fridge and freezer, a Wolf gas range, built-in Miele wall ovens and microwave, a panelled dishwasher, and even a dedicated coffee and water station with a reverse osmosis system. The primary bedroom steam shower. The layout includes two bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, plus a powder room for guests. The primary bedroom. The primary suite is very much in "five-star hotel" territory, with custom-lined built-in closets and a spa-like five-piece ensuite featuring a freestanding soaking tub and a separate steam shower. The second bedroom. Meanwhile, the second bedroom has its own private entrance, making it ideal for guests, teenagers, or anyone in your life you'd like to give just a little extra distance. The second bedroom with exposed brick walls. It also comes with a three-piece ensuite, a wet bar, and custom built-ins, which is honestly nicer than most entire condos in this city. The primary ensuite. But the coolest part, according to realtors Jack and Adam Samuel, the entire unit is fully automated. The kitchen. Lighting, mechanical blinds, and even the Sonos surround sound system are all controlled through a Control4 setup — meaning you can basically run your home like you're in a sci-fi movie. The parking space. Unit 201 also comes with two garage parking spaces at grade. Of course, no place is perfect. The view from the balcony. Despite offering more than 2,200 square feet of interior space, the outdoor situation is… modest. There's a balcony, but at roughly 30 square feet, it's a bit sad, and the view doesn't help. Another view from the balcony. But then again, when you're steps from Yorkville, Bloor Street shopping, cafés, and restaurants, your backyard is basically the entire neighbourhood. The exterior of 113 Dupont Lofts. And if you really want to lean into the turnkey luxury lifestyle, there's one more detail: all of the furnishings are also available for purchase.
