Condo of the Week: $1 million for a swankily renovated downtown penthouse
Address: 126 Simcoe Street, Penthouse 3
Neighbourhood: Waterfront Communities-The Island
Agent: Christian Vermast, Paul Maranger, and Fran Bennett, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, Brokerage
Price: $995,000
The Place: A one-bedroom penthouse just off Adelaide Street, around the corner from Soho House and Momofuku.
Bragging Rights: The current owner put $225,000 into renovations. Upgrades include an indoor/outdoor sound system, maple and slate flooring, a custom suede wall and new kitchen countertops and appliances.

Hey, TL: that lower level outdoor space isn’t a balcony. That’s a terrace, and a wraparound one close to 1000 square feet.
I used to live here. What a terrible building all around, from the tenants to the facilities to the location (in a complete dead spot as far as basic groceries/pharmacy/restaurants goes).
