Neighbourhood: Yorkville
Agents: Christian Vermast, Paul Maranger and Fran Bennett, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, Brokerage

The Place: A three-level townhouse in the Macpherson Church conversion, an ultra-exclusive building that we first featured in December. This two-bedroom unit includes the entire south-facing façade and the original main entrance to the church.

Bragging Rights: Re-enact scenes from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (or just take in the 360-degree view of Yorkville, Summerhill and Rosedale) from  your own honest-to-goodness bell tower.

Big Selling Point: The cathedral ceilings, arched windows and ornate wooden staircase are straight out of a historical novel, but the rest of the finishes, including the heated stone floors and several skylights, show an appreciation for modern luxuries.

Possible Deal Breaker: With a wine cellar that can house more than 1,000 bottles, guests will take offence if you serve them $15 plonk.
