The epitome of a central DTK lifestyle – the historic Kaufman Lofts at 404 King Street West, Kitchener, serve as a template for the dozens of condo developments that have followed in their footsteps over recent years, and still set an example that’s very tough to beat today. Unit 524 presents a rarely-offered layout that maximizes every inch of this one-bedroom plus den, one-bathroom, 845 square-foot floorplan. A flood of south-western light, gleaming carpet-free polished concrete floors, towering 13-foot-plus ceilings, and a distinctly chic urban feel all help to characterize what’s on abundant display here. Airy and open-concept, an extensive foyer leads visitors past the tidy four-piece washroom and into the den – a sizeable, very flexible space which offers the chance for WFHers to enjoy a commute measured not in minutes, but seconds. Hang a left, and take in a stylish kitchen that provides plenty of prep space, taking special note of the gleaming granite countertops and island, as well as all that pot-lighting way above your head. An open living/dining space features plenty of built-in shelving on either side of the cozy electric fireplace (great for our colder months), plus a direct walkout to an exclusive and very long balcony five stories above Waterloo Region’s primary artery of King Street. The private primary bedroom is your retreat, and boasts a generously proportioned walk-in closet of its own. With the LRT quite literally a stone’s throw from your unit, the forthcoming regional transit hub right around the corner, and dozens of prominent offices (including Google), retailers, restaurants, and civic amenities only a few minutes away by foot, it’s not hard to see why the DTK lifestyle appeals to so many.
