Condo of the Week: $700,000 for a two-level concrete suite near Roncesvalles
Condo of the Week: $700,000 for a two-level concrete suite near Roncesvalles
Address: 25 Ritchie Avenue, Unit 111
Neighbourhood: Roncesvalles
Agent: Chander M. Chaddah, Sutton Group Associates Realty Inc., Brokerage
Price: $699,900
The Place: A family-friendly home in a five-year-old building. The kitchen, dining area and living room are on the unit’s upper level, while the bedrooms and family room are below.
Big Selling Point: Having a family room and second bedroom hidden away on the lower level means the owner can hide the inevitable kid-created mess while entertaining guests in the modern upstairs living room.
Bragging Rights: The location near High Park and Sunnyside Park is great for families with small children. The building is also just a crossing guard away from Howard Public School, which has a high Fraser Institute ranking.
Possible Deal Breaker: Although the kitchen has a nice big island and decent-sized pantry, it also has a low ceiling, small sink and electric stove. Gourmands may therefore want to upgrade the oven or buy a nice BBQ for the suite’s gas-enabled private terrace.
By the Numbers:
• $699,900
• 1,436 square feet inside
• $766 per in monthly maintenance fees
• 90-square-foot terrace
• 54-unit building
• 7.5- to 10.5-foot ceilings (approximately)
• 2 bathrooms
• 2 bedrooms
• 1 parking space
• 1 locker

- Because the unit is at ground level, "downstairs" means underground. The teeny windows may not appeal to all buyers.

It looks like a low-slung office building in some non-descript office park in Mississauga.
I wouldn’t want to be trapped in those bedrooms should a fire ever break out.
You really see a lot of Modernist Bauhaus office buildings in Mississauga?
I must, because other than the paint colour, the exterior of that building looks like any other low rise suburban office building you might see driving on the 401 or QEW. Who knew the burbs was such a haven for Modernist design?
What the hell?
