A Loft with Soul in a Neighbourhood That Still Feels Like Your Toronto
Send This Listing To A FriendYou either get it… or you don’t.
If you’ve been holding out for the real deal—a true hard loft with character, space, and just the right amount of patina—121 Prescott Ave #18 might stop your search in its tracks.
Housed in a former leather factory built in the 1890s, The Stockyard Lofts is one of those rare buildings that doesn’t try to replicate authenticity—because it is authentic. Once home to lace and braid manufacturing, this is a distressed Douglas fir post-and-beam conversion with bones that tell a story. Some of the original hardwood factory flooring remains, and you’ll feel the weight of history beneath your feet—in the best way.
Converted in the mid-90s and home to just 27 unique units, Stockyard Lofts is a remnant of the neighbourhood’s industrial past, tucked into a quiet, tree-lined residential street. It’s not a space most people know exists—and that’s exactly the point. No concierge. No flashy lobby. Just exposed brick, heritage beams, and neighbours who still nod hello.
Inside, this nearly 1,100 sq ft loft delivers everything the downtown towers can’t: space, light, and soul. Originally laid out as a 1+den, the open plan gives you room to live, work, host, create—or all of the above. Whether you’re building playlists, painting canvases, or just cooking a meal with friends, there’s space to stretch without sacrificing vibe.
And that kitchen? It’s big, functional, and full of personality. Real counter space, storage, and room to cook how you want—decidedly un condo-like.
From the warm original hardwood in the entry and living room to the west-facing windows that flood the space with golden afternoon light, this loft doesn’t hide its age—it wears it proudly. And when the sun dips? The sunset views are your reward.
The bedroom is generous, with space for a proper setup and a sense of separation that’s hard to come by in open-concept living. The updated 4-piece bathroom is clean and practical. And yes, there’s a parking spot and exclusive use of one locker included—because practicality still matters.
Location-wise, it’s the best of both worlds: you’re surrounded by residential calm, but just steps from the energy of Corso Italia, the Stockyards, and the Junction. Grab tacos, visit the library, hit the community pool, or hop on the St. Clair streetcar to get anywhere else you need to go. It’s Toronto with texture, not Toronto flattened by chain stores and condos that all look the same.
So no, it’s not flawless. But if you’ve been waiting for something with history, character, and room to make it yours—something that feels like it was made for someone like you—come see it in person. You’ll know.

About Earlscourt | Weston-Pellam Park
121 Prescott Ave is tucked into a quiet, tree-lined street in Toronto’s Earlscourt neighbourhood, right on the edge of Corso Italia, The Junction, and the Stockyards District—three of the city’s most culturally rich and character-filled areas. This is a part of Toronto where small businesses thrive, food is good, and neighbours still talk to each other.
Everything you need is within walking distance. Grab a cortado from the indie coffee shop around the corner, stock up on fresh Portuguese pastries, or hit up a local taqueria when you don’t feel like cooking. There’s a real mix of shops and restaurants here—old-school, family-run, multicultural—and that variety shows up in the street life, the smells, and the storefronts.
You’re steps from the St. Clair streetcar and the Stockyards shopping centre and close to all the Junction favourites—think vintage stores, record shops, brewpubs and design studios. Prefer green space? Parks, a public library, and a community centre with an outdoor pool are nearby. In the summer, expect pop-up festivals, patio hangs, and the kind of street-level energy that reminds you why you love living in Toronto.
It’s walkable, practical, and full of texture—a neighbourhood where real life happens.
