1 Benvenuto Place, Unit 322
ADDRESS: 1 Benvenuto Place, Unit 322

NEIGHBOURHOOD: Casa Loma

AGENT: Carol Lome, Royal LePage/J&D Division, Brokerage

PRICE: $1,199,000

THE PLACE: A two-bedroom, 2,000-square foot suite in The Benvenuto. Despite its humble origins as an apartment building in the 1950s, the seven-storey building is tricked out with plenty of amenities, including valet parking and a rooftop fitness centre.

BRAGGING RIGHTS: While many new condos in the city have ground-floor retail (read: a Shopper’s Drug Mart at street level), they can’t compete with this building’s mixed-use claim—the building has housed the ever-popular restaurant Scaramouche for over 30 years.

BIG SELLING POINT: Nothing communicates luxury quite like lustre. The mirrored coffered ceiling in the foyer and the sheen of the living room walls make the space look luminous, but just shy of blingy.

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: We’re itching to take down the small wall that pens in the breakfast bar in the kitchen.

BY THE NUMBERS:
• $1,199,000
• 2,008 square feet
• $1,377.65 in monthly maintenance fees
• 185-square-foot terrace
• 2.5 bathrooms
• 2 bedrooms
• 1 den

  3. I’d rather have a Shoppers, at least they sell useful items at all hours and won’t waft seared fish and truffle oil odors towards my $1.2M shiny-ceiling condo with view of the circular driveway and the other half of the L-shaped building.

  4. over-priced for a pretty standard apartment plus the fees…
    It certainly doesn’t look like 2000 square feet. I would rather live elsewhere, spend less on mortgage and fees and have enough money to eat at Scaramouche rather than living above it.

  5. Gorgeous. Well priced. Fees are more reasonable than I thought. Only knock is the view, which is unfortunate.

  6. Well priced for whom?? Who is buying this ridiculous place? How can they sleep at night? This is so upsetting.

  7. I think its reasonably priced but the maint fee is a killer! and for gods sake, you renovated the kitchen and put the sink under the cupboard again?! On the island or no cupboard ova ma sink. I think its 2000 sq ft… nice layout and spacious indeed….

  8. Is this a one of a kind condomonium ? Who spell checked the article ? There is no such thing as “condomonium”.

    Says a lot about Toronto life inside and out.

  11. I was expecting to be wowed and wasn’t. Sure give it to me and I would live there, but the light fixtures look like they came from Home Depot and that is not a knock against Home Depot, the kitchen look like it came from a box – I’d put it back in the box and return it. And all that shine, sheen, what ever the proper term is….ah, um, well, so, no it is a no I think.
