The place

A two-level penthouse in the newly built Duke Condos in the Junction. It’s near Dundas-Watkinson Parkette—plus all the restaurants, shops and galleries on Dundas Street.

The history

The eight-storey building was completed in February 2017. This unit’s owner bought pre-construction and spent more than $40,000 on upgrades, including a quartz-topped breakfast island and a ceramic backsplash in the kitchen, sliding doors for the second bedroom, new lighting and silk drapery.

Though the master suite has his-and-hers closets, it’s the second bedroom that gets the walk-in closet. The buyer may need to add custom storage if there’s more than one shoe collection in the house.
