Suite 1107, a corner unit in a luxurious building called The Forest Hill, was snapped up in just one day. Potential owners were drawn by the southeast views, the balcony and the nine-foot ceilings, as well as the upgrades and quality finishes, says listing agent Daniel Bloch.
Dark hardwood floors are used throughout the bright suite, which has a modern kitchen with dark cabinets, stainless steel appliances, white granite counters and a glass tile backsplash that adds a touch of glitter. Meals can be enjoyed at the breakfast bar or at a table.
Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living/dining room offer a beautiful view. A walkout leads to the balcony. Another nice feature is a master suite large enough for a king-size bed.
The two bathrooms are bright and white. The master ensuite bathroom has a large walk-in shower.
The suite comes with one underground parking space. A coffee shop on the main floor offers a great spot for meeting friends or for informal business meetings.
The building has guest suites, a gym, a theatre and a barbecue area with a lounge. A hot tub and sauna provide places to unwind. A concierge and parking for visitors are other offerings.
The St. Clair subway station, a large grocery store and Hillcrest School are nearby. Listing Broker: Harvey Kalles Real Estate (Daniel Bloch and Liora Tal)
