ADDRESS: 2045 Lake Shore Boulevard West, Unit 3804

NEIGHBOURHOOD: Mimico

AGENT: Irene Goodman, Regency Park Realty

PRICE: $1,299,000

THE PLACE: A 3-bedroom suite in the Palace Pier condos. This tower was built in the 1970s on nine acres of private parkland by the lake. The address has attracted a number of luxury-lovers, including Chris Bosh during his stint with the Toronto Raptors.

BRAGGING RIGHTS: Palace Pier is practically its own self-contained (and high-flying) city. For the physically fit, there are tennis courts and a putting green; for the social, there’s an in-house restaurant and a nightclub on the roof. There’s also on-site groceries and a shuttle bus to Union Station on weekdays (and other city locations on weekends).

BIG SELLING POINT: Wet bars tend to get installed in living or dining spaces, but having one in the office makes a certain amount of practical sense. What person working at home in the evening doesn’t want a drink?

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The maintenance fees may be too high for buyers who aren’t looking for perks like valet parking or shuttle service.

• $1,299,000

• $2,807.83 in monthly maintenance fees
