The Action: More than two dozen buyers toured this two-storey suite in the Printing Factory Lofts over a two-week viewing period.
What They Got: A former printing factory provides the shell for authentic work/live lofts, like this roughly 1,300-square-foot property, which is among the largest with three bedrooms and an open living area with 10-foot concrete ceilings, original pillars and hardwood floors, plus a 900-square-foot terrace off the central stairwell.
Private quarters include a bedroom and a powder room on the main level, along with two larger bedrooms with four-piece bathrooms on the lower level.
Stainless steel appliances, laundry machines, a storage locker and parking complete the unit.
A monthly fee of $533 pays for water, a party room, concierge and visitor parking.
The Agent's Take: "What made it so amazing was that it was a three-bedroom [loft] which was one-of-a-kind at 201 Carlaw," says Lina Risi. "[Lofts]are mostly 800, 900 or 1,000 square feet, so this was bigger and more interesting with wonderful wall space for art lovers."
Furthermore, it had easy access to premium outdoor space to suit various lifestyles. "It had a 900-square-foot terrace that overlooked the CN Tower and city skyline," adds Ms. Risi." It was perfect for families and perfect for work/live."
