Condo of the Week: $3.3 million for a midtown penthouse with a private elevator

Address: 1900 Bayview Avenue, Penthouse 27 Neighbourhood: Lawrence Park Agent: Deanna Parrell, Bosley Real Estate Limited, Brokerage Price: $3,299,000

The place

This is the larger of the two grand rooftop penthouses in the residences of Sherwood at Huntington. The building is brand new, as evidenced by the unit’s white oak flooring, marble fireplace, and quartz kitchen surfaces.

The dining area has a fireplace:

The kitchen and breakfast area:

Big selling point

A private elevator connects the unit to a giant rooftop terrace, complete with an outdoor kitchen and 360-degree views of the city (the downtown skyline to the south, and ravines to the east and west):

Possible deal breaker

Although downtown is visible from the roof, this is North Toronto, meaning a car is probably a necessity. Transit accessibility should improve a bit once the Eglinton Crosstown is complete.
