A loft near Queen and Palmerston with a very unusual layout.

The master bedroom is all by itself on the main floor. A low wall separates it from the foyer:

Also on the second floor: a raised platform that can be used as a second bedroom. The sellers have even managed to cram a couch and coffee table in there:

The history

The sellers bought the unit when it was new, 17 years ago. They’ve done a little work over the years, including a kitchen remodel. They have a young child now, though, and are moving somewhere with a little more space.

The fate

The buyer travels a lot, so this low-maintenance condo was a perfect fit. He takes possession on May 15.

The sale

The unit, with its odd layout, isn’t for everyone, so the agent listed it at what he considered a relatively low price, in the hopes of attracting some interest. There was a lowball offer on day one, which the sellers rejected. Two days later, another offer came in, at $11,000 over asking. The sellers took it.

By the numbers

• $1,060,000 • $4,127.84 in taxes (2016) • 1,400 square feet • 3 days on MLS • 2 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms • 1 parking spot
