The place

The condo comprises half of the third floor of a six-unit building off Yonge Street. It comes with a huge, private rooftop terrace and in-suite elevator access.

Here’s the foyer. (It’s actually half as wide as it appears. That’s a wall of mirrors to the left.) The stairs lead up to the rooftop terrace:

And a very mirrory ensuite bathroom:

The rooftop deck probably looks a lot more inviting now that the weather has warmed up a bit:

The history

The building was completed in the early 1990s. According to the agent, many of the owners have been here since then. Same goes for some of the kitchen appliances, by the way:

Big selling point

The building is quiet and private, according to the agent. There are no noisy renters or barking dogs to deal with.

Possible deal breaker

There’s a reason for the lack of barking dogs: a no-pets rule. But, with only 12 owners and a five-member condo board, it may be possible for a determined buyer to get a special dispensation for a cat or two.
