The Action: Several buyers booked showings for this two-bedroom-plus-den suite, which is in a boutique building just steps from Yonge Street shops, restaurants and Summerhill subway station.

A couple offers were put forward simultaneously, including one with $26,000 added to the asking price.

What They Got: In 1994, this four-storey residence was built with just eight luxury units, each occupying half a floor with windows primarily facing north and south.

In 2003, this 1,707-square-foot property was redressed with slate floors in the eat-in kitchen and hardwood floors in area like the combined living and dining area and a sunken den with a fireplace.

Clustered together towards the far end of the unit is a powder room and two bedrooms, each with a four-piece bathroom and Juliet balcony facing a quiet courtyard.

High-end kitchen and laundry appliances, a locker and two parking spots complete the package.

The monthly fee is $1,371 as there are no recreational amenities to maintain.

The Agent’s Take:

“The appeal was that it was in a small [building], is steps to Yonge Street and is in very good move-in condition,” says agent Elli Davis. “It went really quickly because they don’t come up too often in the building.”
