LISTING AND CO-OP AGENT Dino Capocci, Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd.
The Action: This two-bedroom unit at the midtown Domus high-rise was unsuccessfully listed at $799,000 and $749,000 by different agents. A third agent priced it at $750,000 and found a buyer not through social media, but with an old-school but effective newspaper ad.
What They Got: On the ground floor of a 14-year-old building is this 1,186-square-foot suite with the luxury of nine-foot ceilings, recently upgraded laundry machines and hardwood floors flowing between a kitchen with granite and stainless steel appointments to an entertaining area along the tall windows and Juliet balcony.
Everyday essentials include two marble bathrooms – including one in a master with a custom walk-in closet – parking and a locker.
Monthly fees of $1,063 cover water and heating costs, plus concierge, party, fitness, games and guest rooms.
The Agent's Take: "It's right in Yorkville, you can't be in the centre of things more than that," agent Dino Capocci says.
"The unit shows great – it was all renovated with new wood – and it's got really nice features being that it's a main floor unit, it has higher ceilings."
This unit's age also came with advantages. "It's on the larger size for that area," Mr. Capocci notes.
"I just saw two newer developments on Davenport, [where one unit is] …750 square feet for $776,000, so there's big value – bang for buck – even thought this is in an older building."
