At the southeast corner of Richmond and Sherbourne streets, this decade-old condominium was built primarily with studios and one-bedroom units rather than two-bedroom models, says agent Boris Kholodov.
As a result, this two-bedroom-plus-den suite on the fourth floor immediately generated interest among buyers, including two that presented offers that same day.
"These units are very special," says Mr. Kholodov. "They don't sell very often, and when they are listed they usually go quickly."
This 900-sq.-ft. unit is even more unusual in the size of the enclosed den - nearly 100 square feet. "The den was incredibly big," says Mr. Kholodov. "One of the bedrooms was smaller."
Broadloom carpeting pads the sleeping quarters, including a master suite with a walk-in closet and one of two full bathrooms.
In contrast, dark slate floors are installed in the foyer and central U-shaped kitchen, where there are four black appliances.
Meanwhile, hardwood floors cover the open-concept living room, which has access to a large south-facing balcony, and separate dining area, "which was attractive," adds Mr. Kholodov.
The unit comes with stacked washer and dryer, a locker, parking and bike rack.
The monthly fee of $526 includes all utility costs.
There is a gym, recreation room and sauna, as well as a rooftop terrace within the building, which is steps from King Street, the St. Lawrence Market and the Distillery District.
"It was in a very desirable location," says Mr. Kholodov.
