Condo of the Week: $1.5 million for a Rosedale-Moore Park townhouse with a sprawling master suite
Address: 88 Pleasant Boulevard
Neighbourhood: Rosedale-Moore Park
Agent: Paul Magnus and Timothy J. Burke , Re/Max Hallmark Realty Ltd.
Price: $1,500,000
The Place: A luxurious townhouse near Yonge and St. Clair with three bedrooms, 24-hour concierge service and a patio that’s just a short walk away from David A. Balfour Park.
Bragging Rights: The unit has a walkout to an underground garage, making it one of only a handful of Toronto condos with truly convenient parking access. The place is also very close to the Yonge subway line, for those times when a train seems preferable to traffic.
Big Selling Point: The entire second floor is reserved for the master bedroom and en suite washroom, which means plenty of space for built-in storage, a marbled shower and a clawfoot tub beneath a bay window.
Possible Deal Breaker: Like most townhouses, this one is long and skinny—it’s less than 18 feet wide—and that means few windows. Thankfully, the architect anticipated this potential problem and added a third-floor skylight to let sunshine spill all the way down the curved staircase and into the first-floor dining room.
By the Numbers:
• $1,500,000
• 2,800 square feet (including the basement rec room)
• $936 in monthly maintenance fees
• 9-to-10-foot ceiling heights
• 4 washrooms
• 2 parking spaces
