The history

A woman bought this unit a few years ago thinking her children might live here during university, but they opted to study elsewhere.

Big selling point

The building is right next to the action at TIFF, which ups the odds of celebrity sightings in September.

Possible deal breaker

The unit comes with only one parking spot, but the owner shouldn’t need to do a lot of driving: the building is walking distance to the financial district and the Yonge-University subway line.

By the numbers

• $2,498,000 • 2,559 square feet • $2,231 in monthly maintenance fees • 11-foot ceilings • 4 bathrooms • 3 bedrooms • 2 balconies • 1 parking space
