The history

This condo is in a two-tower complex that was built in 2009. The owners lived here for about five years, but now they’re expecting a child. They’ve decided to rent the place out so they can move into a bigger home.

Major perks

The unit has a loft-like layout, with 18-foot ceilings, but without the exposed concrete found in many newer lofts—which could be a plus for anyone who prefers drywall on their walls and wood under their feet. Plus, it’s walking distance to Union Station and St. Lawrence Market.

Possible deal breaker

There’s no balcony, but the big windows let in plenty of light.
