Condo of the Week: $2.6 million for a massive, two-penthouse spread in the financial core
Condo of the Week: $2.6 million for a massive, two-penthouse spread in the financial core
Address: 33 University Avenue, Penthouses 2801 and 2802
Neighbourhood: Bay Street Corridor
Agents: Christopher Invidiata and Shae Invidiata, The Invidiata Team Re/Max Aboutowne Realty Corp., Brokerage
Price: $2,588,000
The Place: A massive 28th-floor penthouse in Empire Plaza, a mixed-use building in the downtown core. Amenities include a concierge and a rooftop terrace.
Bragging Rights: Though it’s currently being used as one giant penthouse, the unit is also on the market as two separate condos. (Unit 2801, the larger of the two, will run you $1,395,000 and unit 2802 is $1,295,000). If the two halves go to different buyers, the hallway outside the sitting room in 2801 and the master bedroom in 2802 would be walled off.
Big Selling Point: Size. At nearly 6,500 square feet, it’s one of the largest condos we’ve ever featured.
Possible Deal Breaker: Compared to decor in some of the newer properties in the area, the exotic wood trim and mirrored walls here seem slightly outdated—but that’s nothing that a good interior decorator couldn’t remedy.
By the Numbers:
• $2,588,000
• 6,479 square feet
• $3,499 in monthly maintenance fees
• 6 washrooms
• 4 bedrooms
• 4 parking spaces
• 1 den
• 1 solarium
