The place

A Yorkville-adjacent condo with a sprawling floor plan. With two kitchens, it’s essentially two fully independent suites, making it ideal for buyers who want to live with extended family, or with live-in help.

The history

The sellers bought one unit in the building 20 years ago, then bought two more adjacent ones and combined them all into a mansion in the sky to accommodate their large family.

The dining room has direct access to the terrace:

Possible deal breaker

For the same price, it would be possible to buy multiple detached houses in downtown Toronto. And the sheer amount of space and number of rooms would definitely necessitate paying some cleaning staff. This place is only for a very particular kind of well-heeled buyer.
