Condo of the Week: $920,000 for a King West townhouse with a city park at its doorstep
(Image: Caralyn Ing)
Address: 25 Stafford Street , TH3
Neighbourhood: Niagara
Agent: Nick Whittington , Brad J. Lamb Realty Inc.
Price: $919,900
The Place: A swanky open-concept townhouse with 22 vertical feet of windows overlooking Stanley Park. We featured another unit in the building back in 2013.
Bragging Rights: The condo is currently owned by actor/producer Ari Lantos, son of Eastern Promises and Barney’s Version producer Robert Lantos, so you can bet it’s hosted some artsy soirées.
Big Selling Point: The patio gate opens into the park, giving the owner the feeling of owning a huge backyard, but without any grass to mow. Dog owners will like the easy access to an off-leash area, and humans may appreciate the barbecuing potential.
Possible Deal Breaker: $920,000 is a lot to pay for a one-bedroom condo—but not necessarily this one-bedroom condo. The den is even bigger than the master bedroom, so it could easily be closed off to create more private space.
By the Numbers:
• $919,900
• 1,288 square feet
• $797 in monthly maintenance fees
• 234-square-foot patio
• 22-foot-high windows
• 2 washrooms
• 1 parking space (and the option to buy a second one for $34,500)

292198 The owner will probably need a 15-foot extension pole to clean those windows, but they DO look amazing.

That’s a lot of Ikea furniture in a $919,000 unit.
Really stunning unit.. Too bad about the price!
