The place

A penthouse on the 32nd floor of the Market Wharf II Condos, south of St. Lawrence Market.

The history

The owners bought the unit pre-construction in 2013, the same year the two-tower complex was completed. The building’s shared amenities include a screening room, a fitness centre, a yoga and pilates studio, saunas, guest suites, an outdoor sun deck, a party room with a bar, a conference room and three rooftop gardens.

Now the sellers are hunting for a house in Summerhill, so they can be closer to work and family.

The foyer floor is covered in limestone tile:

Possible deal breaker

Only one of the bedrooms has direct terrace access, and it’s not the master bedroom. But the master bedroom does, at least, have a walk-in closet and a spacious ensuite bathroom with marble tile and a whirlpool tub:
