THE ACTION

Owners of a home in Lawrence Park went shopping for a new home last fall and set their budget at $1.6-million. They toured more than two dozen large condominiums in prime neighbourhoods from North York to the waterfront. This 1,825-square-foot unit in a 40-year-old tower across from Allan Gardens caught their eye, but priced at $1.7-million, exceeded their limit. Nonetheless, they arranged five visits.

“Luxury condos of this size are not easy to find,” said the buyers’ agent Belinda Lelli. “They often hover around $1.5-million to in excess of $2-million.

“A lot of the new buildings consider a penthouse 1,000 square feet. For people [coming from] a bigger home, that’s small.”

This two-bedroom unit had been freshly redesigned and modernized. “It was completely renovated, nothing is original,” Ms. Lelli said.

“It was like walking into something brand new.”

Taking a chance, the buyers wrote a firm offer of $1.55-million in January, which was accepted.

WHAT THEY GOT

This corner unit at the Carlton on the Park building has plenty of natural light and an enclosed balcony accessed through the dining area and primary bedroom.

There are two entertaining areas, as well as a laundry room with a sink and two full bathrooms. The six-piece ensuite in the primary bedroom has heated floors.

The unit’s storage locker is next to its parking space.

Monthly fees are $2,114, including cable and utility costs. The common gym, squash courts and pool were recently renovated, as was the rooftop deck.

THE AGENT’S TAKE

“It’s an exemplary building,” said Ms. Lelli. “Every unit is large there, and you’ve got a double concierge all the time.

“The amenities are really hotellike.”
