The place

A two-bedroom condo on the 35th floor of the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences in Yorkville.

The history

The couple that owns this unit bought it pre-construction in 2008. They spent $750,000 on upgrades, including a new fireplace and some distinct finishes, like green marble in the kitchen and foyer and an ostrich-skin vanity in the powder room.

The owners are spending less time in Toronto these days, so they’ve decided to put the unit on the market.

Here’s the entry:

There’s no denying the unit has a lot of character, but a cherry-red powder room isn’t for everyone:
