90 Madison Ave | The Main Loft
A Furnished Architectural Loft for Lease in the Annex
Send This Listing To A FriendSome homes don’t reveal themselves all at once—they unfold. The main loft at 90 Madison Avenue does exactly that, rising through three levels of glass and steel, connected by sculptural catwalks and lit by a west-facing wall of windows that climbs more than 30 feet. This is over 3,000 sq. ft. of furnished, architectural living in the heart of the Annex, created for those who want privacy, presence, and a sense of arrival.
The main level makes its impression through scale and warmth. Wide-plank Brazilian hardwood runs underfoot, heated for comfort, and natural light moves across the open living and dining areas throughout the afternoon. A proper entry with storage, a discreet powder room, and an enclosed office/theatre room offer everyday function, while the kitchen—walnut cabinetry, quartz counters, Bosch gas range, Monogram wall oven and fridge-freezer, Kitchenaid dishwasher, double sink, built-in microwave, and breakfast bar—anchors the space with purpose rather than spectacle. The living area opens to a west-facing terrace overlooking the quiet, private backyard.
A private elevator links all three floors. On the second level, the tone shifts to an intimate one: a family lounge with built-in seating and hidden storage sits between two bedroom suites, each with its own personality and ensuite.
- The primary bedroom, on the east side of the home, includes a covered balcony, a floor-to-ceiling custom walk-in closet with a dedicated vanity, and an expansive eight-piece ensuite with heated pebble-tile floors, a jacuzzi tub, a separate glassed shower, a double vanity, a toilet, and a bidet.
- The second bedroom features private elevator access, a large closet, and its own five-piece ensuite.
The third level extends upward into quieter, more contemplative spaces.
- The third bedroom has vaulted ceilings, a double closet, and a walk-out to a covered balcony.
- The fourth bedroom sits opposite, with two double closets, vaulted ceilings, interior windows overlooking the living room below, and two skylights that draw daylight from above.
These rooms share a full family bathroom, fitted with a double-sink vanity, generous storage, and a tub with a waterfall shower.
Light is everywhere—pulled in from the west, reflected off glass, diffused through the vertical openness of the home. The catwalks give each level a connection to the next, creating a sense of movement without compromising privacy.
Outdoor space is both generous and discreet: a sunny west-facing terrace above the backyard and three large covered balconies facing Madison Avenue. Parking is unusually abundant for the Annex: two tandem spots under the carport plus two side-by-side surface spaces.
Additional details reinforce the home’s practicality: heated floors throughout the main level and all bathrooms, laundry with built-in storage on the second floor, utilities and furnishings included, and security cameras at the front and rear.
From here, the city comes easy. You’re a short walk to Dupont, Spadina, and St. George stations; close to the best of Bloor Street West and Yorkville; and surrounded by exceptional schools including University of Toronto Schools (UTS), the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study (ICS), The Mabin School, Huron Public School, Rosedale Day School, Royal St. George’s College, and the University of Toronto.
A furnished lease for someone who values architecture, discretion, and a home with a point of view. Offered at $14,950 per month, including utilities and furnishings.
5 Things We Love
- A vertical experience. Three levels tied together by glass-and-metal catwalks, a private elevator, and a 31-ft west-facing window wall that brings the afternoon light deep into the home.
- A main floor made for presence. Heated wide-plank Brazilian hardwood, an enclosed office/theatre room, and a walnut-and-quartz kitchen that blends utility with quiet sophistication—opening to a private west-facing terrace.
- Suites with intention. Two second-floor bedroom suites, each with its own ensuite; the primary set on the east side with a covered balcony, custom built-ins, and an indulgent eight-piece bath. Two additional third-floor bedrooms—one with its own balcony, the other washed in skylight—connected by a full family bathroom.
- Design meets function. Heated bathrooms, second-floor laundry, front and rear security cameras, utilities and furnishings included, and parking for four vehicles (two tandem under the carport plus two side-by-side surface spots).
- A neighbourhood with pedigree. Steps to Yorkville, Bloor Street West, the University of Toronto, leading independent and public schools, and three subway stations—quiet, connected, and unmistakably Annex.

About The Annex
Once a countercultural enclave and now one of Toronto’s most enduringly desirable neighbourhoods, The Annex has always been ahead of the curve. Its evolution hasn’t erased its character—it’s sharpened it. What began as a magnet for artists, academics, and free thinkers has matured into a place where heritage, intellect, and discretion quietly coexist.
The streets tell the story. Grand Victorian and Edwardian homes line leafy blocks with a sense of architectural confidence that never asks for attention. Bay-and-gable facades, intricate brickwork, deep setbacks, and mature trees give the neighbourhood its signature rhythm—handsome, human-scaled, and deeply Toronto. It’s visually rich without feeling showy, a rare balance that rewards everyday living as much as it does a slow, appreciative walk.
Life here is textured and walkable. Local bookstores, independent cafés, bakeries that still do things properly, and thoughtfully curated shops anchor the neighbourhood. There’s culture without congestion, style without spectacle. Restaurants range from quietly excellent to celebratory, while Bloor Street offers everything from trusted institutions to polished international names—close enough to enjoy, easy to step away from when you want calm.
Despite its centrality, The Annex retains a lived-in serenity. One-way streets, pockets of green, and a natural buffer from traffic make it feel residential in the best way. And when the city calls, it answers effortlessly: Dupont, Spadina, and St. George stations are all a short walk away, placing downtown, uptown, and the financial district within easy reach.
Education is another defining layer. The neighbourhood is surrounded by some of the city’s most respected schools, including University of Toronto Schools (UTS), the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study (ICS), The Mabin School, Huron Public School, Rosedale Day School, Royal St. George’s College, and the University of Toronto itself—an academic backbone that quietly shapes the area’s tone and tenure.
The Annex doesn’t trade on flash. Its appeal is slower, deeper, and more assured. It’s a neighbourhood that whispers rather than shouts—confident in its history, selective in its evolution, and timeless in the ways that matter.
