Condo of the Week: $1.1 million for a Little Italy penthouse with a dramatic catwalk and a roomy terrace
Address: 301 Markham Street, Penthouse 805
Neighbourhood: Palmerston-Little Italy
Agent: Steven Fudge, Bosley Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $1,099,999
The Place: A two-bedroom, two-floor penthouse in a building at College and Bathurst containing 68 lofts.
Bragging Rights: Crossing the catwalk suspended above the main floor dining room is the only way to enter the master suite. That should add a dramatic flair to any bedtime routine.
Big Selling Point: The professionally landscaped terrace—complete with turf, trees, a built-in BBQ and seventh-floor views—gives ground-floor backyards a run for their money.
Possible Deal Breaker: The main-floor powder room was turned into a double closet, which means guests have to use the upstairs ensuites. (If you don’t need the extra closet space, the realtor says the powder room can easily be restored.)
By the Numbers:
• $1,099,999
• 1,650 square feet
• $954 in monthly maintenance fees
• 400 square-foot landscaped terrace
• 2 bathrooms
• 2 bedrooms
• 2 parking spots
• 2 lockers
