Listing Description

On Saturday at dawn, the kettle whistles in tune with the songbirds' chorus from the lush canopy covering this historic neighbourhood. Steaming mug in hand, she stands on the southeast-facing balcony and savours the stillness before the growing city stirs. Then she retreats to the sanctuary of her den, a versatile space that she has made both a private library and media room. It provides calm and a sense of separation from the world's distractions. She needs to plan tonight's dinner party! Living at River Mill means the car stays in secure underground parking because the city's best is available on foot. She strolls to the Guelph Farmers Market to gather fresh, local ingredients for her menu, and picks up special items at the boutique grocer a few blocks away. Homeward-bound, she pops into one of the chic boutiques on Old Quebec Street to buy a new blouse. Before prepping dinner, she decides whether to make a quick cycling trip along the Trans Canada Trail or hike through riverside paths connecting the heart of the city to nature. Her location is a cultural hub where she can readily walk to a gallery opening, visit the new central library, dine at top-end bistros, or catch a performance at the River Run Centre. For special events around the GTA, the nearby GO Station provides a reliable link for a day trip to Toronto. At home, she prepares savoury dishes then arranges a table for six on her tiled terrace, the suite's crown jewel. She loves this space, a private venue for alfresco dining on a lovely evening. River Mill offers a lifestyle that balances sophisticated indoor living and unfettered outdoor freedom. It is a retreat for those who want the vibrancy of a connected urban life without sacrificing the peace of a beautiful two-bedroom suite in a well-managed, friendly building with a terrace made for hosting. Here, Saturday feels like a getaway. This one ends with friendly banter against the soft glow of sunset over the university campus on the horizon.
