Condomonium: $1.8 million for a penthouse suite in the HarbourView Estates
ADDRESS: 10 Navy Wharf Court, Penthouse 5
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Waterfront Communities–The Island
AGENT: David Harland, Harvey Kalles Real Estate
PRICE: $1,799,000
THE PLACE: This 46th-floor penthouse suite with floor-to-ceiling windows and a beautiful view of the lake (which you can from the master bedroom Jacuzzi—yes, the tub is in the bedroom) sits atop one of the HarbourView Estates buildings.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: The space is wired. Inspired by the LED lights illuminating the nearby CN Tower, the living area features a glass façade that glows and changes colour, remote-controlled shades, a 600-watt Geneva sound system and a 60-inch LG television.
BIG SELLING POINT: Amenities, amenities, amenities. As local developers continue to try to one-up each other, the luxe condo offerings get more and more ridiculous. Here, you have access to a 30,000 square-foot SuperClub, which boasts a 25-metre pool, squash, basketball and tennis courts and, yes, bowling lanes.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Too much technology can be spooky—need we remind you what happened to the parents in Ray Bradbury’s The Veldt?—and, well, garish.
BY THE NUMBERS: • $1,799,000 • $1,477.13/month in maintenance • 2,200-plus square feet • 46 storeys above the city • 12-foot floor–to-ceiling windows • 3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms • 1 powder room
