40 Oaklands is a quietly admired boutique building in the heart of Summerhill-known for its strong sense of community, exceptional walkability, and discreet, secure atmosphere. One-bedroom suites here are seldom available, and true single-level living with no interior stairs is especially rare. Beautifully renovated by RTG Designs in 2017, this thoughtfully designed suite centres on a custom kitchen with an oversized island and integrated dining extension, opening to a bright living area with tailored built-ins and a walk-out to a private east-facing balcony set among the trees. Custom millwork continues throughout, including a built-in sideboard with wine fridge, media centre, and bookshelves. The spacious bedroom features a walk-in closet and access to a carefully finished bathroom with heated marble basketweave floors and classic white subway tile. Wide-plank white oak floors run throughout. A generous laundry and storage room adds everyday practicality rarely found in suites of this scale. Includes parking and locker. Easily accessed from the lobby yet quietly positioned within the building-an ideal combination of convenience and privacy.

Maintenance fees include cable and internet.
