Condo of the Week: $375,000 for a Regent Park loft with big warehouse windows and a bigger private patio
Address: 736 Dundas Street East, Unit 205
Neighbourhood: Regent Park
Agent: Melanie Piché and Brendan Powell, Sage Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $374,900
The Place: A one-bedroom loft in an east-end building that’s within a kilometre of six different streetcar lines.
Bragging Rights: The current residents claim the closed-off bedroom is so quiet, it’s like sleeping in a soundproof box.
Big Selling Point: The Regent Park neighbourhood is in the midst of a $1 billion upgrade. The revitalization project, set to be complete in the next five years, has already decked out the area with a lively new public pool and cultural centre.
Possible Deal Breaker: The unit is right across from the street from a Mercedes-Benz dealership. When you’re sitting on the terrace, the reflection off the shiny new cars could cause some serious squinting.
By the Numbers:
• $374,900
• 699 square feet
• 400 square foot terrace
• $385.33 in monthly maintenance fees
• 1 bedroom
• 1 bathroom
