Sleeping out under the stars, sitting on the terrace facing the lake, hosting summer barbecues — ah, the joys of cottage life. Enjoying the “spectacular” views from his private terrace on top of the six-storey brick building is “kinda like sitting on the dock,” adds Wilkinson, who works in the financial sector. Nostalgia combined with the “cosy, laidback vibe” and “warm feeling” were instrumental in making the 2,266-sq.-ft., two-floor loft his home eight years ago. While the mood on the rooftop is distinctly relaxed, Queen West is bursting with “vibrancy,” according to Wilkinson — the area was recently named second coolest neighbourhood in the world by Vogue magazine. Wilkinson’s loft is a standout for its airiness, 14-foot ceiling and huge open dining and living room, she says.
