Neighbourhood: Yorkville Price: $7,350,000 Size: 3,279 square feet plus 1,000 square feet of private terraces Bedrooms: 2 Bathrooms: 2 Maintenance fees: $3,532 Agents: Paul Maranger and Christian Vermast


The place

A two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse in Yorkville. The two-storey unit is one of 25 at 8 Sultan Street, built in 1999 by Terradigm Developments. It’s within walking distance of four subway stations, the ROM, U of T, and the hustle and bustle of Bloor.

The history

The owners bought the place brand new as a shell and referenced an art deco apartment they’d seen in Paris as inspiration. Their design included period-appropriate mouldings, wall panelling and doors as well as converting the second-floor guest room into an office. With plans to downsize, they’ve just put the home on the market.
