Condo of the Week: $795,000 for a high-tech loft in a former factory in Corktown

Condo of the Week: 21 River Street, Unit 3

Address: 21 River Street, Unit 3
Neighbourhood: Regent Park
Agent: Heather Rovet, Model Suites Realty Inc. Brokerage
Price: $795,000

The Place: A two-bedroom, two-level loft in a former mill factory in Corktown.

Bragging Rights: The lights, locks, music and temperature can all be controlled remotely from a smart phone or tablet, effectively eliminating all did-I-or-didn’t-I-lock-the-front-door worries.

Big Selling Point: Original cedar beams and an exposed brick wall gives the suite hard-loft cred, but polished hardwood floors, marble bathrooms, baseboards and carriage-style chandeliers translate into a surprisingly upscale vibe.

Possible Deal Breaker: No matter what this this video listing implies, buying a loft won’t automatically net you a Mercedes-Benz or a piping hot love life.
