Address: 300 Avenue Road, Unit 2
Neighbourhood: Casa Loma
Agent: Marcus Williams, HomeLife Dreams Realty Inc., Brokerage
Price: $868,000
The place: A two-bedroom condo spread over three levels of a converted Victorian mansion. There’s a kitchen and living area on the main floor, a light-filled family room and guest bedroom on the lower level, and a large master suite upstairs.
The history: This mansion was built in the early 1890s, but by the 1980s it had fallen into disrepair. In 1984, a developer converted it into six slick condo units while preserving the classic turreted exterior. This particular unit went through a full modernization in 2008, when a previous owner knocked down a kitchen wall to make room for a breakfast bar, updated the bathrooms and replaced the carpets.
Big selling point: There’s a huge cedar sauna on the lower level, a big tub with jets in the master en suite and two wood-burning fireplaces to keep things cozy. The buyer may never need to visit a spa again.
Possible deal breaker: The unit doesn’t come with any private outdoor space, although Robertson Davies Park is a two-minute walk away.

• 1,980 square feet

Love this place! and how beautifully kept it is!
and who needs a private outdoor space? Toronto Winter is quite long! I’d prefer that Sauna more than outdoor space.
I think its sad when beautiful old houses are stripped of their original beauty and made to look like cheap CityPlace condos
Agreed. This is such a depressing, bland, cheap space. Tasteless.

It is a true shame. Not a darn thing left that’s original.
$870gs for arguably the worst unit in the GTA.
