Architect Sol Wassermuhl loves the life he and his wife lead now that they’re residents of the uber-exclusive MuseumHouse, a 27-unit boutique building on Bloor Street West that he designed.
“We stroll into Yorkville, visit the Art Gallery of Ontario, and pop into the Royal Ontario Museum (right across the road),” the president of Page + Steele / IBI Group Architects tells Epoch Times in an interview, noting they moved to MuseumHouse’s 4,000-square-foot full-floor sub-penthouse from a home in Forest Hill.
“We’re really becoming part of the cultural scene of the city in a way we never did before, and we’re walking everywhere, which we love.”
Sheldon Esbin, a partner in the development group, also purchased a full-floor unit at MuseumHouse, one level below the Wassermuhls’. And on the floor above the Wassermuhls’ sits MuseumHouse’s penthouse, a fully finished space on the 19-storey building’s top two levels that’s just been released for sale.
Priced at $10.5 million, the penthouse has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and over 7,000 square feet of inside/outside living space, with 12-foot ceilings on the main floor and 10-foot ceilings on the upper level, and wide-plank hardwood flooring throughout.
Each level has two limestone terraces with frameless glass railings and views of the city that are guaranteed forever because MuseumHouse overlooks Queen’s Park, the ROM, the Royal Conservatory of Music, and University of Toronto. The unit, designed by IBI Group, comes with a large storage locker and three parking spaces.
