Listing agent: Ellie Burns, Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd.
The location and spacious layout of this one-bedroom suite in the established Forest Hill community prompted several buyers to send in a solid offer to agent Ellie Burns.
"It's a great neighbourhood," she says, citing the shops, restaurants, schools and parks nearby. "It's one block away from a bus that takes you to Davisville subway station and the bus right in front the building takes you to the Bathurst and Bloor subway station."
This seventh floor unit, which was recently converted from a co-ownership residence into a condominium, boasts a generous size with a 196-square-foot master suite and a four-piece bathroom, as well as a formal kitchen, dining area and a living room with access to a south-facing balcony.
"A new one-bedroom would be 600 [square feet]" Ms. Burns says. "This would be about 1,200."
In addition, some improvements to this unit include updates to the kitchen and new laminate floors in most rooms.
A locker and parking are included, plus a monthly fee of $563 that covers utility costs.
Building amenities consist of a laundry room, an indoor pool and visitor parking.
