Condo of the Week: $1.7 million for a downtown suite with valet service
Condo of the Week: $1.7 million for a downtown suite with valet service
Address: 77 Charles Street West, Unit 901
Neighbourhood: Bay Street Corridor
Agent: Hooman Aliary, Harvey Kalles Real Estate, Brokerage
Price: $1,680,000
The Place: A masculine and modern two-bedroom apartment just down the street from the Windsor Arms.
Big Selling Point: The spa-like master bathroom seems like a perfect place to unwind—but, unlike a spa, it’s not full of strangers in terrycloth robes.
Bragging Rights: The home has two spacious balconies, including one with an aerial view of the ROM’s Michael Lee-Chin Crystal.
Possible Deal Breaker: Valet service is included, but that won’t stop the owner from getting stuck in traffic farther east on Charles Street, which endures frequent lane closures because of its near-perpetual condo construction. To the west, meanwhile, is a quiet old section of the University of Toronto, which isn’t likely to sprout towers anytime soon.
By the Numbers:

• $1,665 per month in maintenance fees
• 16-storey building
• 9-foot ceilings

This is a nice condo with a good square footage but the price is a joke. I’ll just move on…
Why doesn’t it have a tv in the bathroom? Every other room has a TV or even 2!
Only 1,569 square feet? There are good condos at 1,650 square feet for 1/5th of the price. With money left over to do a real good condo renovation job on it. Okay, just 8 foot ceilings and one balcony, but 3 bedrooms and a den.
A 3BR plus den 1600sf condo available somewhere close to the UofT for $340,00, hmmm…. in Buffalo perhaps? Syracuse? or maybe back in 1984? Good luck with that.
Thank you, e-town. I too wondered where these 1,650 sq. ft. condos, albeit with 8-ft ceilings, could be found for $340,000.
