Condo of the Week: $1 million for a two-level Front Street suite in a converted factory
Address: 55 Front Street East, Unit 308
Neighbourhood: Church-Yonge Corridor
Agent: Christopher Andrew Bibby, Sutton Group Associates Realty Inc., Brokerage
Price: $999,000
The Place: A two-bedroom condo in a converted Victorian factory.
Big Selling Point: The rooms are wide and split over two levels (kitchen and living room upstairs, bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs), giving the unit a house-like feel. This layout might make the place a good fit for a couple that values alone time (as long as they also have $1 million to spend).
Bragging Rights: The building is on one of the best-preserved blocks of 19th-century buildings in the city, just across from the Gooderham Building, that iconic flatiron-style wedge from 1892. Nearby Berczy Park is about to get a dog-friendly makeover.
Possible Deal Breaker: The original builders weren’t anticipating condos, so there are no window walls or balconies. Still, the place gets plenty of light, and there’s access to a shared terrace and garden on the roof.
By the Numbers:
• $999,000
• $893 in monthly maintenance fees
• 1,730 square feet
• 2 bedrooms
• 3 bathrooms
• 1 den
• 1 parking spot
• 1 en suite locker

What a steal! Been inside this suite and the price is unbelievable for the size and quality of finishes. Absolutely the best location in downtown Toronto!
not enough windows
The photo the exterior in this article isn’t even the street address or the front of the building – it is the side view from Church Street – why is that? Seems a slight bit deceiving – no?
The one nice thing – you are seconds from Winners – well worth the million dollars.
