The Action: This one-bedroom loft on one of the upper floors of the Merchandise Building downtown had a dozen showings and scored two competing offers.
What They Got: Situated in an authentic loft conversion project – originally built as a warehouse for Sears in the early 20th century – this 627-square-foot unit features 12-foot ceilings, exposed ductwork and nine-foot windows facing west.
Cork flooring runs throughout the long and narrow kitchen, living and dining areas, while broadloom carpeting was laid in the master bedroom.
The loft is equipped with ensuite laundry machines and a pair of two-piece bathrooms that can be combined into a full bathroom when the pocket doors between them are separated.
There is a fee of $320 each month to maintain areas like the recreation room, gym and indoor and outdoor pools, plus $54 for its parking spot and $6 for its locker.
Attractions in the immediate vicinity include St. Lawrence Market, the Eaton Centre and Church Street Village, as well as esteemed financial, medical and educational institutions.
The Agent’s Take: “This has perhaps the nicest interior I’ve seen in a unit this size,” agent Boris Kholodov says. “It had a great view, low maintenance fees, a parking space and a locker.”
