The address alone of this one-bedroom suite is highly prized among buyers wanting to be close to the city's finest collection of boutiques, restaurants and galleries, agent Boris Kholodov says.
"It ended up selling quickly because we knew someone looking [to live]in the building," he says. "The location is the key selling feature being right at the corner of Yorkville and Yonge, across from the reference library and next to the new Four Seasons [development]"
Other attractions within the immediate vicinity include museums and theatres, as well as grocers, schools and two subway lines. "It's walking distance to everything you could possibly need," Mr. Kholodov says.
The 27th-floor unit has a modern, open concept layout typical of many models completed in the 36-storey high-rise about five years ago.
But it has expansive windows and a balcony with memorable northern exposures. "It has a beautiful view," the agent says. "It's on a very high floor, so you can see over everything."
Upgraded finishes include hardwood floors throughout, including the bedroom, granite kitchen countertops and stainless steel appliances.
There's a four-piece bathroom and ensuite laundry machines along with an exterior storage locker.
The monthly fee is $359, plus hydro costs. A gym and recreation room are some amenities on-site.
