The history

A professional couple bought the unit two years ago and undertook a major modernization. They installed a gleaming new kitchen, new bathrooms and new flooring. Now, they’re moving again, to be closer to family, their agent says.

Big selling point

The building has easy access to Avenue Road and Highway 401. Yorkville and Pearson are each under 20 minutes away, traffic permitting.

Possible deal breaker

This unit has eight-foot ceilings, which are relatively low compared to the ceiling heights in newer condo buildings. But the sellers painted all the walls and ceilings white, which can make things feel a little roomier.

By the numbers

• $950,000 • 1,500 square feet • $1,053 in monthly maintenance fees (includes hydro) • 40 new pot lights • 8-foot ceilings • 2 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms • 2 parking spaces • 1 solarium • 1 balcony • 1 locker
