The place

A south-facing two-bedroom with a split layout (the bedrooms are on either side of the living area) and an 1,800-square-foot terrace. It’s on the top level of a 10-floor building, set back somewhat from the noise of King Street.

The kitchen takes up one end of the living space:

The history

A buyer with properties around the world snapped up this five-year-old unit about a year ago, but he isn’t in Toronto enough to enjoy it.

Big selling point

The private wrap-around terrace is like something out of a luxury hotel. It has a heated pool with a TV, plus an outdoor kitchen and space for a 10-seater table. It even has a CN Tower view.

Here’s the outdoor dining area:

And here’s the pool. It’s not Olympic-sized, but what did you expect?

Possible deal breaker

The neighbouring buildings are tall, so the terrace is only suitable for those who like to see and be seen.
