The Action: Last year, this two-storey luxury suite at Domus was twice listed with different agents, but neither secured a deal. This year, a third agent relisted at the same $1.395-million price, but recommended a fresh coat of paint and professional staging. The effort might have played a role in the owner logging 30 bookings and a fair offer within a month.
What They Got: Several suites in a 14-year-old high-rise span two floors, such as this 2,257-square-foot unit with a main floor den, kitchen and dining area with access to a wide balcony, which has a second walkout from a living room with double-height ceilings and arched windows that also illuminates the family room above.
Also atop a custom curved staircase are two bedrooms, including one with a walk-in closet and one of three bathrooms.
The unit comes with appliances, a locker and two-car parking, plus monthly fees of $2,146 to cover water, heating, 24-hour concierge, fitness and recreation areas.
The Agent's Take: "It has very unique architecture with Gothic-like windows," agent Boris Kholodov says of the mid-rise. "And it has a very interesting location because it's not in the hustle and bustle of Yorkville, but is only a minute walk away … so you get the benefit of the location without the drawback of the noise."
This unit's setup and high calibre style also suited more affluent downsizers. "It's one of the largest units in the building, so it's a very special property," Mr. Kholodov notes. "[In addition] the staircase is one of the unique features of this property that other units in the building do not have."
