A turn-of-the-century dwelling, the Beaux Arts Ontario was built in 1906. Today, the building’s appeal has only continued to flourish thanks to its sought-after location, first-rate amenities, and historical roots. Sited on three verdant acres, The Ontario is brimming with the perks of park living—including two picturesque courtyards and the walking trails that surround the perimeter. Here, flowering fruit trees abound, an herb garden grows, and residents are free to harvest and host parties year-round.
