The cute cat is a nice touch in the pics. Love the washroom. I think this condo is grossly undervalued.
this condo is hideous and for this price, you can buy a nice home.
so fab… was it staged ? and reasonably priced too
in dt toronto?
price is good for location, I find it a bit clustery though.
umm…650 for a one bedroom? its 1400sf so you could spend MORE to change it but damn, thats expensive. Nice look though.
