Address: 25 Soho Street, P310
Neighbourhood: Kensington Chinatown
Agent: Michael Rapkoski, Re/Max Hallmark Realty Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $689,000
The Place: 1,000 square feet spread over the two upper floors of a four-storey building. There’s an open-concept kitchen, living room and dining area on the main floor of the unit. The second floor has two bedrooms.
Bragging Rights: The home’s private 225-square-foot rooftop terrace allows for barbecues and sunbathing.
Big Selling Point: Despite being on a relatively quiet street, this building couldn’t be closer to the cultural and commercial action of downtown.

Possible Deal Breaker: The unit faces a courtyard encircled by dozens of other condos. Modest occupants will want to make frequent use of the custom blinds installed on all the windows.
