Address: 317 Lonsdale Road, Unit 1A Neighbourhood: Forest Hill Agent: Howard Biderman, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage Price: $1,659,000

The place: A house-sized condo on the first floor and lower level of a 12-unit building around the corner from the shops of Forest Hill Village.

The history: This 1928 apartment building has unique architectural flourishes, like a crenellated roof (which should come in handy if Forest Hill is ever invaded). The developer that turned the place into condos completely gutted the building and dug a lower level to accommodate 14 parking spaces, accessed with a hydraulic lift.

Big selling point: In-suite elevator access makes this a good place for seniors with sore hips. For the kiddies, there’s a huge rec room, and the building is mere metres from the city’s best private and public schools.

Possible deal breaker: The maintenance fees are higher than some people’s mortgage payments.

• $1,659,000 • 2,100 square feet • $1,485 in monthly maintenance fees • 3 bathrooms • 2 bedrooms • 2 terraces • 2 parking spaces (one underground) • 1 den • 1 gas fireplace • 1 elevator
