Condomonium: $2 million for a roomy apartment in Thornhill’s amenity-rich Avignon
ADDRESS: 7071 Bayview Avenue, unit 508
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Thornhill
AGENT: Jerry Hammond, RE/MAX Ultimate Realty Inc.
PRICE: $1,990,000
THE PLACE: A two-bedroom-plus-den condo in Thornhill’s Avignon on Bayview. The low-rise, boutique-style development is home to 81 suites, and amenities include an indoor pool, sauna and boardroom (in case you really, really want to take your work home with you—or annoy your downtown colleagues by making them drive to Thornhill). The interior is designed by Tas DesignBuild, the firm behind King West developments M5V and Zed Condominiums.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: While downtown condos often look out onto other downtown condos, the concrete jungle doesn’t appear anywhere in this unit’s sightlines. Instead of viewing construction cranes, you can check out the treetops of the nearby Don River Valley (deer have even been spotted in the area).
BIG SELLING POINT: Space. At nearly 3,000 square feet, you’ll have plenty of room to stretch out. Your friends in the 416 paying twice the price for half the space are sure to be envious.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: For an urban animal that works in the core, commuting into the city from Markham might not be worth it.
BY THE NUMBERS:
• $1,990,000
• 2,800 square feet
• $1,770.25 a month in maintenance fees
• 2 bedrooms
• 2 electric fireplaces
• 2 walkouts
• 2 parking spaces
• 1 ravine view

Nice place, but pretty uninspired kitchen for that price.
$2mil for a condo in the burbs ? are you for real ?!!! You pay $2mil for a white picket fence in the 905 and that price for a piein the sky downtown toronto… yikes…
The finishes do not warrant that price. Overall, just a “blah” space.
Agree with the previous comment on the kitchen – very dreary, those grey cabinets are not working. The meagre furnishings are a negative, I’d rather see this place shown completely empty, although for this price the agent should be talking the seller into having it professionaly staged.
This is ridiculous, no flow.
Pink and mustard walls for $2m!!
$400 a foot in the burbs plus high maintentance…TOO MUCH…OVER PRICED!
