Address: 55 Front Street East, Unit 517 Neighbourhood: St. Lawrence Agent: Shelley Shapiro, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, Brokerage Price: $1,499,000

The place

A two-bedroom condo on the fifth floor of a mid-rise that’s halfway between St. Lawrence Market and the financial district. The suite has a large balcony looking north toward the Flatiron Building and the newly remodelled Berczy Park.

There’s some built-in shelving near the entrance:

The history

This 13-floor building was completed four years ago. The lower floors are clad in red brick, to blend in with the antique warehouses nearby.

Big selling point

This building is as close as a buyer can get to the downtown core without living in a tower. Those who walk to work will have plenty of historic architecture to admire along the way, like the Beardmore Building next door.

Possible deal breaker

With the market down the street, festivals in Berczy Park and plentiful licensed patios nearby, the streets can get clogged with tourists during summer.

By the numbers

• $1,499,000 • 1,510 square feet • $849 in monthly maintenance fees • 2 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms • 1 balcony • 1 den • 1 parking space • 1 storage locker
