Condo of the Week: $1 million for three floors, plus a castle as a neighbour
Address: 349 St. Clair Avenue West , Unit 113
Neighbourhood: Casa Loma
Agent: Nina Castle , Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $999,999
The Place: A unit at St. Clair and Spadina with three storeys, three bedrooms, and a ground-floor terrace.
Bragging Rights: Front-row seats to the ongoing Casa Loma overhaul. When the 20th-century mansion turns restaurant, event space, or otherwise, this neighborhood will be first in the know.
Big Selling Point: Good luck finding another condo with a wood-burning fireplace. Even in houses, the norm is now electric.
Possible Deal Breaker: The interior may boast brightly coloured walls and shiny modern fixtures, but the building’s dated brick facade offers little in the way of curb appeal.
By the Numbers:
• $999,000
• 2,300 square feet
• $935 in monthly maintenance fees
• 4 bathrooms
• 3 storeys

?? the 70s brick facade and clean lines are extremely cool. Would love to buy this place and gut the whole 1995 thing going on.
The condo is nice and $935 in
monthly maintenance fees seems not so much in comparison to other variant for
the same price. The only thing that I don’t like is that shelf with lots of
books that in some weeks can gather lots of dust. I’d change it for something
better. Or put them in the sitting room where there is enough place for books. Also
I’d change the mirrors in the bathroom; to my mind the frames are too big and
wide.
