Condo of the Week: $890,000 for a well-designed unit near Yonge and St. Clair

Bragging Rights: Although only some of the furniture is negotiable, the bare unit will maintain its contemporary feel thanks to a (mostly) synchronized colour palette, and other interior-design features.

Big Selling Point: To open up the space, the owner removed walls between the kitchen and living rooms. Also renovated: the second washroom. The owner borrowed space from the surrounding rooms in order to make the shower, and shower door, larger.

Possible Deal Breaker: The balcony is accessible only through one of the secondary bedrooms, meaning getting to fresh air may mean violating someone’s privacy. But that won’t be a problem if the buyer decides to turn that room into a den.

By the Numbers:

• $889,000 • $1,481 in monthly maintenance fees • 1,500 square feet • 3 bedrooms • 2 washrooms • 1 parking space • 1 locker • 1 fireplace
