Condo of the Week: $450,000 to live in a boutique building on Dundas West
Address: 1636 Dundas Street West, Unit 6 Neighbourhood: Little Portugal Agent: Alex Brott, Keller Williams Referred Urban Realty Inc. Price: $449,000
The Place: A large one-bedroom condo on the second floor of a boutique building in the Brockton Village section of Little Portugal. There’s a den off the kitchen, a balcony for barbequing, an underground parking spot and a five-piece washroom.
Big Selling Point: It’s rare to find such a stylish condo so close to downtown for under $500 per square foot (assuming the price stays that low after the offers come in).
Bragging Rights: This is a boutique building, which means fewer noisy neighbours to deal with. In fact, this unit shares only a single wall with another unit.
Possible Deal Breaker: Although this stretch of Dundas West has sustained a number of hipster hangouts in recent years, it’s still a bit grungy. The buyer should be ready to share the streets with customers of the cheque-cashing business and bathhouse nearby—some of whom are perfectly nice people, to be sure.
By the Numbers:
• $449,000 • 900 square feet, approximately • $396 in monthly maintenance fees • 8-foot ceilings • 1 five-piece washroom • 1 bedroom • 1 balcony • 1 den
