The Metropole – Building Details

Front entrance of 7 King St E, aka The Metropole.
Everything about The Metropole is elegant, from its glassy entrance to its polished stone facade.

The Metropole is a 23-storey tower overhung with awnings, accented by antique windows, and with a base of brown-brick carved out of the original National Trust Building.

Inside, however, the condo exchanges its sharp edges for a chic marble lobby and luxurious amenities.

This love of luxury is also present throughout its Financial District location.

The best jobs, schools, retailers, cafes, bars, restaurants and museums are all minutes away.

7 King St E Unit 817 – The Space

Condo foyer with white marble tiles and double-door closet.
Luxury begins at your doorstep: Unit 817’s foyer contains marble floors and a double-closet with mirror doors.

As of 2019, the median size of a Toronto condo is 752 sq. ft.

Compared to that, Unit 817’s 1215 sq. ft. interior is a palace.

Part of that royal setting includes lush laminate floors and floor-to-ceiling windows.

With 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a den that’s large enough to serve as a 3rd bedroom, Unit 817 is perfect for families and young couples.

The living, dining and kitchen areas are all together, while the bedrooms are separated for greater privacy.

Speaking of the living room, it’s the ideal spot for conversations, entertainment or family time.

Condo living room with blue sofa, glass table, fancy vase and large potted plant.
There’s plenty of room for furniture, and thanks to those massive windows, a prime location to grow plants.

The dining area is another great place to gather and socialize.

Open yet intimate, the dining room is suited to both family dinners or romantic meals for two.

It’s also awash in rich natural light from the living room windows, or the stylish ceiling-lamps above.

7 King St E Unit 817 – The Kitchen

Somewhat old condo kitchen with beige cabinets, marble tiles and stainless-steel stove and fridge.
Unit 817’s kitchen doesn’t cut any corners.

Besides its sheer size, it flaunts high-end materials and finishes, including marble floors, smooth counters and wood-grained cabinets.

Two of the dining room’s track-lights are cleverly pointed towards the kitchen, illuminating it from afar.

The kitchen is also outfitted with tons of drawers and cabinets for storing cutlery, utensils and tableware.

Breakfast bar with white counter-top, wood base and 2 black stools with kitchen in background.
This counter-top doubles as a breakfast bar, providing a casual place for meals or morning coffee.

Unit 817 comes with the following appliances:

  • A stainless-steel fridge and stove
  • A built-in dishwasher and microwave
  • Laundry closet with washer and dryer

7 King St E Unit 817 – Master Bedroom & Bath

Mostly empty master bedroom of 817 - 7 King St E with large bed with dark wooden frame.
The master bedroom is big enough to hold a queen-sized bed, nightstand and chair, and still have room left over.

In addition to its enormous size, the master bedroom is also very practical and luxurious.

Light brown laminate floors and closet with mirror doors.
For example, it contains MULTIPLE mirrored closets that can handle your most demanding storage needs.

It’s also brilliantly-lit by the glassy den and is decked out in pot-lights and warm laminate floors.

Then there’s the ensuite bath…

Unlike most baths, this one uses black tiles instead of white. The result is stunning.

The 4-piece washroom also boasts ceramic floors, a tub with detachable shower-head, under-sink storage, and an extra-tall vanity.

7 King St E Unit 817 – Second Bedroom & Bath

Huge bedroom with bed in corner, beige laminate floors and two lamps.
Believe it or not, this is actually the smaller of Unit 817’s two bedrooms.

Of course, it’s still bigger than the master bedroom of most condos (and even some houses).

Mostly empty 2nd bedroom of Unit 817 - 7 King St E with desk, chair & computer.
Despite the bed, lamps, desk, chairs and other furniture, it’s so huge that it seems almost empty.

Like the master bedroom, the second bedroom features laminate floors, a double closet, and a mirrored closet.

In fact, the only major difference between the two rooms is the lack of an ensuite bath.

The second washroom can instead be found in the foyer.

While it’s hard to see in the photo above, the bathroom contains a walk-in shower with glass doors.

It also flaunts marble floors, cabinets and a colossal vanity.

7 King St E Unit 817 – Den

Storage space, entertainment centre, nursery or office—Unit 817’s den serves a variety of functions.

It also has all the makings of a bedroom.

It’s large, has expansive windows for a constant flow of sunlight, and posseses laminate floors.

A Toronto condo with three bedrooms is always a rare find—Unit 817’s den offers families exactly that.
