Condo of the Week: $790,000 for a two-bedroom suite on the liveliest part of Queen East

Address: 88 Colgate Avenue, Unit 722 Neighbourhood: Leslieville Agent: Andre Alves, Keller Williams Referred Realty, Brokerage Price: $789,900 Previously sold for: $701,000, in 2016

The place

A newish condo unit located just north of Queen and Carlaw, near the buzzy Broadview Hotel and walking distance from a No Frills, LCBO and Shoppers Drug Mart. (A convenience trifecta!)

The history

Aragon Properties finished the building in 2014. This suite has a few customizations: double sinks in the master ensuite, a large closet in the second bedroom, and a retractable wall for a more flexible living space.

Here’s the kitchen:

The living room has some exposed brick. The guest bedroom, visible here, can be hidden behind a retractable wall:

The balcony has a view of downtown, which is nice. (Not as nice: no barbecuing allowed.)

Big selling point

Because it’s on the top floor, this unit can (and does) have a skylight:

Possible deal breaker

TV junkies will note that the retractable wall leading to the second bedroom makes it a little awkward to place a television in front of the living room couch, though it would probably be simple to use a projector instead.
