Condomonium: $3.2 million for a Queen Street East penthouse loft with its very own (very private) courtyard
Condomonium: $3.2 million for a Queen Street East penthouse loft with its very own (very private) courtyard
ADDRESS: 43 Britain Street, Unit 200
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Moss Park
AGENT: Carl Langschmidt, Royal LePage
PRICE: $3,200,000
THE PLACE: The massive two-story penthouse in the Stonecutters Lofts, a century-old warehouse whose conversion into five luxury living spaces netted the Ontario Association of Architects design award in 2011.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: Potential buyers touring the suite have joked that its luxury and drama would be a good fit for superhero playboy Bruce Wayne. While there’s no hidden entry to a subterranean Batcave, the kitchen does have an unassuming cupboard door that is actually an entryway to extra pantry space and a wine fridge. To the wine cave!
BIG SELLING POINT: Condo terraces (and their views of other condo terraces) can’t compete with this loft’s sizeable central courtyard. It fills all the rooms with light and gives the sprawling space a main—and arresting—focal point.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Though the area’s been slowly changing with the arrival of new developments, Moss Park ain’t Yorkville. Don’t expect a scrubbed and polished neighbourhood outside the front door.
