The Action: This two-bedroom suite at Quantum South was stylishly staged with a fresh coat of paint, new light fixtures and home decor reflective of the vibrant midtown neighbourhood.
Out of 10 buyers who stopped in for a thorough tour, an offer emerged from one of the first visitors there.
What They Got: Built four years ago, this 1,385-square-foot suite is just one of five units on the 35th floor of one of two energy-efficient high-rises in the Minto Midtown complex.
This unit is virtually encased with walls of windows with 270-degree views and balconies off the master bedroom, the galley kitchen and the open living and dining area.
Other features include hardwood floors, three bathrooms and six appliances.
The unit comes with a monthly fee of $774 and a designated locker and parking spot in the building, which has a gym, pool and party room.
The Agent's Take: "The suite had mass appeal because of its large size, open layout and convenient location," agent Yvonne Huh says. "It is difficult to find a condo over 1,200 square feet on the Yonge subway line, [so]the extra 200 square feet makes a big difference for two people living in the space.
"[Plus]at $550 per square foot, it was a deal since new buildings are going for 650 per square foot."
