Condo of the Week: $879,000 for a ground-floor church loft in Roncesvalles
By Victoria DiPlacido |
By Victoria DiPlacido |
Address: 384 Sunnyside Avenue, Unit 106
Neighbourhood: Roncesvalles
Agent: Edwin K. Brdlik, Toronto Lofts Realty Corp., Brokerage
Price: $879,900
The Place: A one-bedroom unit with a private deck on the first floor of the Abbey Lofts in Roncesvalles.
Bragging Rights: Inventiveness. We’ve featured a number of units in this church-to-condo conversion and have yet to see the same layout twice.
Big Selling Point: The building’s limestone-clad exterior walls make the outdoor deck feel like it belongs to a French chateau.
Possible Deal Breaker: Regular deal-clinchers like brick walls and original stained glass windows, suddenly seem less brag-worthy when neighbouring units boast vaulted ceilings and bell towers.
By the Numbers:
• $879,900
• 1,650 square feet
• $785.55 in monthly maintenance fees
• 2 bathrooms
• 1 bedroom
• 1 private deck
• 1 parking space
• 1 bicycle lock-up space

Yet another example of the ridiculous levels of monthly maintenance fees for Toronto condos. Less is more.
Without knowing what the maintenance fees include, your proclamation is ridiculous as well
