Condomonium: $950,000 for a King West–area loft with hand-painted designs on the walls
ADDRESS: 560 Front Street West, Unit 1105
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Waterfront Communities–The Island
AGENT: Brandon Ware, Private Service Realty
PRICE: $949,900
THE PLACE: A two-bedroom loft in the Rêve, a new King West–area building with a distinctive red-accented exterior. Designed by Wallman Architects, the building won the Ontario Home Builders Association’s award for Project of the Year in 2010.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: Those intricate designs aren’t wallpaper, they’re works of art. A painter was flown in from Europe to work on the space and each of the patterns was painted freehand, a project that took months.
BIG SELLING POINT: The terrace may not be large enough for a barbecue of Ford Fest proportions, but, at 1,000 square feet, it’s plenty big.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The building boasts Canada’s first virtual concierge, which could be either cool or unnerving, depending on your feelings about technology.
BY THE NUMBERS: • $949,900 • 2,200 square feet, which includes a 1,000-square-foot terrace • 1,000-square-foot terrace • $598.78 in monthly maintenance fees • 10-foot ceilings • 2 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms • 1 parking space [gallery]
