This two-bedroom-plus-den corner suite is among one of the larger units in a downtown high rise predominantly designed with one-bedroom layouts, says agent Boris Kholodov.
As if the size of the 1,050-square-foot suite wasn't enough to catch the attention of move-up buyers, its location on the 27th floor - just below the penthouse level - was also a surefire hit.
"This property was on a high floor, so it had a great view," says Mr. Kholodov of the seven-year-old suite. "The living area was beautiful because it was very open and it was on the corner of the building with floor-to-ceiling windows."
The interior was also stylishly finished with sliding balcony doors off the principal room and hardwood floors in the den and second bedroom.
The kitchen was outfitted with limestone floors, glass backsplashes and stainless-steel appliances.
Carpeting cushions the master bedroom, which contains one of two four-piece bathrooms.
Ensuite laundry facilities, parking and a locker are convenient extras included with the unit.
Last of all, utilities and cable costs are covered by a monthly fee of $596. "The maintenance fees are all-inclusive and it's very affordable for a unit this size," adds Mr. Kholodov.
This building - like others in the same development - contains several fitness facilities, such as a gym, indoor pool and basketball court, as well as a recreation room. "[Concord]CityPlace is generally very rich in amenities," says Mr. Kholodov.
Popular shops, restaurants and cultural attractions are also spread throughout the Fashion and Entertainment districts, Harbourfront Centre and Kensington Market nearby.
