Condo of the Week: $9.9 million for a giant Yorkville suite with luck on its side
Condo of the Week: $9.9 million for a giant Yorkville suite with luck on its side
Address: 88 Davenport Road, Unit 2401
Neighbourhood: Yorkville
Agent: Elise Kalles, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $9,880,000
The Place: A gargantuan, marble-lined suite with nearly 7,500 feet of living space. In addition to an open-concept living room, dining room and kitchen, there are six bedrooms, six parking spaces, an office and a den. Luxury extras include Brian Gluckstein–designed kitchen cabinetry and a humidor in the master bedroom.
Big Selling Point: This place is meant for a buyer accustomed to hired help. The building comes with 24-hour valet and concierge services, plus a catering kitchen. The unit, meanwhile, has enough extra space that keeping a live-in servant would be easy.
Bragging Rights: The owners’ custom layout adheres to all the principles of feng shui, the Chinese design philosophy. The rooms and hallways are designed to bring good luck, and even the building’s street address—88—is considered lucky by many Chinese people. We’d guess whoever ends up buying this place is already quite fortunate, though.
Possible Deal Breaker: While there are plenty of extras included—a yoga room, steam showers in the gym, a rooftop garden, and so on—even the wealthiest person might have trouble swallowing maintenance fees that add up to the price of a Porsche Boxster every year.
By the Numbers:
• $9,880,000
• 7,450 square feet
• $6,238 in monthly maintenance fees
• 6 washrooms (with 7 toilets)
• 6 bedrooms
• 6 parking spaces
• 4 balconies
• 1 wine cellar
• 1 humidor
• 1 craft room

All the feng shui in the world won’t help with the unit number of “2401”. Anything with a “4” in it is considered bad luck to the Chinese. And what’s with all of the white. The place looks more like a museum than a home.
$10mil and they have the stove and kitchen sink under the cupboard?!! Yuk! and the maser bedroom sitting area looks like the living/dining room. And the columns.. I would certainly not wanna pay that much for a building with no panache when u enter!
