Condomonium: $2.5 million for a spacious unit with a $100,000 home theatre
ADDRESS: 468 Wellington Street West, Unit 301
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Waterfront Communities–The Island
AGENTS: Carol Austin and Kurt Diener, Re/Max Condos Plus Corporation, Brokerage
PRICE: $2,499,000
THE PLACE: A giant, three-bedroom brick-and-beam unit in the Wellington Lofts. The former Butterick Publishing House was built in 1915 and converted into ten condo suites in 2001.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: With no more than two units per floor, the 4,000 to 5,000-square-foot lofts in the building are some of the city’s largest condos, and the most exclusive. We can’t name names, but the address is home to a top-tier record producer and a media guru.
BIG SELLING POINT: About $100,000 was spent on the high-tech home entertainment system in the family room (it comes with a drop-down projection screen).
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Unless you’re willing to turn the family room into a fitness centre and the wet bar into a pool, buyers who want more building amenities will have to look elsewhere.

the 1990s called….they want their decor back.
and what exactly is being maintained at the cost of $13000 per year?
http://fmllistings.tumblr.com/
what an odd layout..
$2.5 million for that.. even though there is a lot of space.. it is scattered and not cohesive at all..
looks like a condo was just slapped up and put together overnight.. doesn’t look like it was carefully planned out.
spend that money on a mansion in Rosedale/Bridal Path.
overall its priced accordingly… Jaki.. $2.5mil cant buy u a home in rosedale/bridal path so you know.. remember also, this place is a building conversion so they are limited in what they can do. The layout is great.. I just think it needed 3 parking spots!! YOu will need to spend around $100K taking out and putting in somethings to your own liking like getting rid of that Fishtank in the kitchen – dreadful!!
Hi Suzy… I know that fishtank is dreadful.. lol!
just thought I would pass this on to you.. that you can indeed purchase a home in Rosedale for $2,349,000.00
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avhtC-_2O6A
which is less than what this condo is selling for..
there are several homes up for sale in Rosedale/Bridal Path that are amazing!.. and are worth the money..
Cheers!.:)
wow…thanks Jaki… wow.. nice house…and so cheap on highland…. in rosedale…what is this world coming to.. I am sold!
expected a lot more…tooooo much brick!!
Just one parking spot? Forget it.
decor of my parents’ rec room circa 1970…god awaful bathrooms…with that much space why is the bathtub so close to the sinks…why not have a larger bathroom…? and a fishtank??? jesus,break out the velour tracksuit
The bones of this unit are excellent, but I would end up gutting it to make it more modern. The current decor looks like it all came from the Brick or Leons, absolutely terrible. At roughly $555 per sq/ft it’s a pretty good deal in a great location.
Indeed!
So hugely disappointed, fell short of turning my stomach, but was really, really disappointed given I was so looking forward as I love this conversions so very much. Alas the buyer unless blind, will out of necessity have to change so much of significance. Fish tank?
