The place
A one-bedroom, one-bathroom home in the Space Lofts, a 220-unit complex built in 2004 on Richmond just west of Sherbourne. Amenities include a gym and sauna, a party room, a meeting room, a 24-hour concierge, a guest suite and visitor parking. It’s within walking distance of the Eaton Centre and St. Lawrence Market, with easy access to Queen station as well as several streetcar lines and bus routes. The building also shares a courtyard with George Brown College’s culinary school—an affordable, delicious lunch-break option.
The unit itself has been for sale since September 5, when it was listed at $699,999. It was reduced to its current price on September 18. Related: $1.4 million for a Regent Park penthouse with a skyline view up top and a rock-climbing cave down below
