The condo for sale at 71 Simcoe Street

Address: 71 Simcoe Street, Unit 2601 Neighbourhood: Financial District Agent: David Harland, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage Price: $2,649,000

The place: The top floor of a 1990s building. The vaulted ceilings and skylights in the master bedroom make it feel more like a cabin than a condo.

The history: The seller bought the suite as an empty shell in 1995 and had everything custom-built to a high standard.

Big selling point: The building is in the middle of the downtown core, near cultural amenities like the opera house, the TIFF Bell Lightbox and the Royal Alexandra Theatre—and it’s right across the street from Roy Thomson Hall.

Possible deal breaker: Not everyone appreciates the industrial look of concrete walls and stainless steel panels, but that’s nothing some redecorating can’t fix.

And there’s a large terrace, which probably looks a lot more inviting in warm weather.
