The Action: This authentic two-bedroom loft downtown was snatched up so quickly by the new owner, only a handful of other shoppers had a chance to tour it in person.
What They Got: A former Sears warehouse was converted to house urban lofts like this 1,205-square-foot unit, which was professionally designed by Cecconi-Simone and features concrete floors, 12-foot ceilings with exposed ductwork and west-facing warehouse windows in the fireside living and dining area.
Essentials components include two full bathrooms, laundry machines and built-in kitchen appliances and shelves, plus a locker and parking.
There is a monthly fee of $693, which covers water and heating costs. A gym, indoor pool and recreation room are on site, along with security.
The Agent's Take: "This is a unit that offers essentially everything that buyers want in a loft in the Merchandise Building, which is a desirable layout, the best view, the right amount of space and good condition," agent Boris Kholodov says.
"This one also overlooks the green roof of the neighbouring Ryerson University building and the iconic skyscrapers in the background."
