Condo of the Week: $1 million for a designer townhouse near Kensington Market
Condo of the Week: $1 million for a designer townhouse near Kensington Market
Address: 56 Lippincott Street, #4
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Chinatown
Agent: Michael Wacholtz, Keller Williams Referred Urban Realty Inc., Brokerage
Price: $1,049,000
The Place: A three-bedroom, three-storey townhouse in Lippincott Living, a complex with eight units at College and Bathurst.
Bragging Rights: Acclaimed interior-design firm Cecconi Simone has left its mark on several other residences in the city, but Lippincott is the first project it has taken on as a developer. Alongside architect Brad Netkin, Cecconi Simone designed the property from the ground up.
Big Selling Point: The master bedroom is more aptly described as a retreat: it’s private (it makes up the entire third floor), and it features a massive en suite washroom, a fireplace, a mini-bar, and a balcony that overlooks the city.
Possible Deal Breaker: The home is narrow—only about 14 feet across—but the 10-foot ceilings add space and depth.
By the Numbers:
• $1,049,000
• 2,000 square feet
• $591.44 monthly maintenance fees
• 3 storeys
• 3 bathrooms
• 3 bedrooms
• 2 fireplaces
• 1 patio
• 1 balcony
• 1 parking space

love it… what a magnificent use of a narrow space… very nice… love that Kitchen. THATS how u sell a high end kitchen without the faucet under the cupboards!!
Staging of the bedrooms? Left undone.
Nicely designed, but as usual for that area the context is ridiculous… look at the houses next door: http://goo.gl/maps/ceL9D
Actually I have been searching for a custom kitchen design in Toronto. I just loved the design! I will be remodeling my kitchen soon and will definitely be considering this design.
