Condomonium: $700,000 for a three-level loft in a heritage industrial building
ADDRESS: 1100 Lansdowne Avenue, Unit 327
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Dovercourt-Wallace-Emerson-Junction
AGENT: Edwin Brdlik, Toronto Lofts Realty
PRICE: $699,900
THE PLACE: A three-level suite in the Foundry Lofts, the factory built in 1903 for the Canada Foundry Company, and given heritage status this June.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: A really, really big boudoir. The top-floor master bedroom puts snug downtown units to shame, easily fitting a king-sized bed and a sofa with enough room leftover to run your own yoga class.
BIG SELLING POINT: Condo common areas often have all the charm of a motel lobby, but the central atrium in this building is a showstopper. Stretching from floor to peak, the 1600-squre-foot space runs the length of the building and is, well, lofty.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: While we expect big things for this area of the city, for now it’s still trying to shake its rough-around-the-edges reputation.
BY THE NUMBERS: • $699,900 • 1,800 square feet • $670 in monthly maintenance fees • 109 years of history • 19-foot-high ceilings on the first floor • 10-foot-high ceilings in second and third levels • 3 levels • 3 bathrooms • 2 bedrooms (plus a den or third bedroom) • 1 bar • 1 parking space
