Condo of the Week: $730,000 for a one-bedroom suite in a Georgian mansion in Casa Loma

Condo of the Week: 195 Poplar Plains Road, Unit 203

Address: 195 Poplar Plains Road, Unit 203
Neighbourhood: Casa Loma
Agent: Dagmar Hansen, Chestnut Park Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $729,000

The Place: A one-bedroom, two-level condo in a converted Georgian mansion around the corner from Scaramouche restaurant.

Bragging Rights: Homes in the stately South Hill neighbourhood have sold for over $4 million, so paying less than $800,000 (and very low maintenance fees) to live there is a relative bargain.

Big Selling Point: Sloping cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and a wooden deck give the master bedroom a cottage-like feel uncommon in a condo.

Possible Deal Breaker: Though bright and clean, the kitchen lacks counter space.

By the Numbers:
• $729,000
• $442.00 in monthly maintenance fees
• 1,200 square feet
• 2 bathrooms
• 2 fireplaces
• 1 bedroom
• 1 parking space
• 1 storage locker
• 1 balcony
