‘This top-floor corner suite offers a desirable split-plan layout (bedrooms on either side of the living space) with three walkouts as well as abundant storage with multiple walk-in closets and a locker,” says listing agent Liora Tal.

“When one thinks of the penthouse level, they often imagine being very high in the sky,” says co-listing agent Daniel Bloch. “This feels more like a boutique building with only 22 levels.”

Tal says, “The condo real estate market was experiencing a slight downward shift in demand during our listing period, however we were uniquely positioned as one of only a handful of units in this size and price point in the city’s core. We had a steady number of showings and two offers.”

“The condo underwent a sophisticated renovation by the owner,” Bloch says. “The eat-in kitchen has gourmet European appliances and extra pantry space. It’s ideal for hosting a large event, yet feels intimate enough for weeknight dinners.”

The foyer has a closet and the primary bedroom has his-and-hers closets and a walkout to a balcony. The second bedroom has a walkin closet. A separate den, a four-piece bathroom with a soaker tub and a laundry room with a walk-in closet are other highlights.

“Those downsizing from a larger home, given its generous scale and number of bedrooms,” were among those interested in the suite, says Tal.

“A sprawling and open-concept living/entertaining space and king-sized primary bedroom means you can bring your existing furnishings with you,” Bloch says. “The separate home office/den easily transforms into a third bedroom when grandkids come to visit.”

The building, constructed in 2009, has recently renovated common areas. Amenities include a 24-hour concierge, an indoor pool, a gym and a landscaped ninth-floor terrace with a water fountain.

“Yonge and Eglinton is ideal for those seeking to live in an exciting hub of activity and entertainment, with endless shops and restaurants at your doorstep,” he says.

“New buildings are popping up constantly. You have direct links to downtown, with promise of unlimited city access with the near-completion of the Eglinton LRT.”
