Condo of the Week: $2.3 million for a four-storey townhome in Hoggs Hollow

Condo of the Week: $2.3 million for a four-storey townhome in Hoggs Hollow

Address: 49 York Mills Road, Unit 502
Neighbourhood: Hoggs Hollow
Agent: Hannah Slan, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $2,250,000

The place: One of the largest units in an upscale townhome development, it has direct access to two underground parking spaces and a private back patio.

The history: The unit was spiffed up as a model suite about a decade ago, and the husband and wife who bought it in 2011 upgraded it even more. They added Bellini kitchen cabinets, put Caesarstone counters in the kitchen and bathrooms, and replaced the dark hardwood on the main level with modern white oak.

Big selling point: The master suite on the second level is not only luxurious: at 1,135 square feet, it’s larger than most condos. There’s a wide walk-in closet, a small laundry room and a huge bathroom with heated floors, towel racks and a spacious jet tub.

Possible deal breaker: The condo has four floors and, accordingly, plenty of stairs—which would be a bigger deal if it didn’t also have a private elevator.
