Wow! Where do I sign up to live in a million dollar basement???
The Good – location, the exposed stone interior and those magnificent windows!
The Bad – not taking advantage of the exposed stone…where’s the wainscoting, crown molding and crystal chandelier?
The Ugly – lousy fridge location and entry-level washrooms
The Realtor – slightly more pics than the article but having to request for a feature sheet is annoying and petty. btw MLS®: W2565569
have you asked your mom?
Deal Breaker: the structural problems. There’s been tarps on that building for months.
I have to say that’s brutal interior design work that doesn’t complement the building’s “bones” at all. Pass on this. Definitely overpriced.
I DON’T THINK SO TIM ! HOLY WOW ! BATMAN ! A CHURCH, YOU GOT TO BE KINDING, EH ! Sprinklers on the ceiling and located in one on the most dangerous parts of the city besides Jane & Finch as the worst spot, eh ! ” NO BLOODY WAY ” ! ! !
off your medication again, I see
I don’t get it… Have I asked my Mom? No, can’t say that I have.
The doors are horrible. The bathroom door looks like the most annoying thing ever!
I was at the open house for this unit a couple weeks ago, and the pictures do not do it justice. The place is stunning. My issue with it was that if you’re going to cough up close to a million bucks, the place should at least have room for full-size front-loader laundry machines.
Maybe one day ;)
