Agents Sandra Pate and Lina Risi were flooded with offers from first-time buyers hoping to own this one-bedroom plus den suite on the 23rd floor of a popular midtown high-rise.
Urban shops, bars, restaurants and movie theatres attract young professionals to the "Yonge and Eligible" area, which is also home to banks, a 24-hour supermarket and subway station, Ms. Pate says.
Buyers were pleased this 803-square-foot unit didn't need extra work since the seller had the builder add more than $15,000 worth of upgrades throughout, such as engineered oak hardwood floors, stainless steel kitchen appliances, tile backsplashes and wide Shaker cabinetry.
"It was a brand new building that was just registered, so it had only been occupied by our client for a very short period of time," Ms. Pate says.
The den also had the benefit of more than 90 square feet of space and a walk-in closet. "Most dens don't have closets and they're not very big," the agent says. "So this could double as a bedroom."
The suite has a modern, open concept feel with an island in the cooking area and floor-to-ceiling windows and a glass balcony door at one end of the combined living and dining room.
Practical features include a powder room in the hall, a four-piece bathroom in the master bedroom and ensuite laundry machines, plus a wide storage locker.
Heating costs are included in the $323 monthly fee.
There is a shared pool, gym and landscaped terrace, as well as billiards and party rooms among other amenities.
