The condo for sale at 8 Sultan Street

Address: 8 Sultan Street, Unit 601 Neighbourhood: University Agent: Agnes Chaitas, Royal LePage Terrequity Realty, Brokerage Price: $1,269,000

The place: A two-bedroom condo across from the Windsor Arms.

The history: This place was built in 1999, but every room was upgraded shortly before the current owner purchased it last November. The big overhaul included opening up the living-dining space, raising the ceilings to allow chandeliers, laying herringbone hardwood floors, installing walnut wall units with TVs and fireplaces and redoing the whole kitchen.

Big selling point: The kitchen is spacious and stylish. It has a wide marble island with big drawers underneath, attractive lighted cabinetry and high-quality Wolf appliances.

Possible deal breaker: The balcony isn’t huge, so only a few people at a time can crowd around to watch who’s going in and out of the Arms during TIFF.

• $1,269,000 • $1,425 in monthly maintenance fees • 1,400 square feet (approximately) • 60-square-foot balcony (approximately) • 9-foot ceilings • 2 bathrooms • 2 bedrooms • 2 gas fireplaces • 2 built-in TVs (included) • 1 underground parking space • 1 built-in wine fridge

The living room fireplace is surrounded by marble, and the marble is surrounded by walnut custom cabinetry. It’s like a luxury-furnishings turducken.

The dining room is next to the balcony. A previous owner raised the ceilings to put in chandeliers.
