This 700-Square-Foot Condo in Toronto Just Sold $100,000 Over Asking — Check Out the Photos to See Why

Located in a prime Toronto location in a red-brick heritage building, the exterior offers but a clue about the condo within.

Offered at $699,000 – but selling for $800,000 – there’s admittedly not a lot of space in this condo, with square footage estimated at between 700 and 800 square feet.

The exposed wood beams and brick and stone walls add a lot of heritage character, while the stencilled pattern on the darkly painted food floor provides a touch of funky charm.

The open concept living area encompasses a living room, kitchen and dining area, shown here.

“Designer finishes meet vintage charm,” reads the description in the listing.

The 10.5-foot ceilings (which feature built-in pot lights) offer a sense of openness that belies the square footage, while the exposed wood support beams add an element of rustic charm.

The kitchen is small but functional, featuring a peek-a-boo window opening to the living room.

Among the features in the kitchen are black Miele appliances and a cool chalkboard wall.

The kitchen may be cozy, but an array of space-saving features – shelf above the stove, built-in wine storage above the fridge – cleverly maximize the available space in creative ways.

The kitchen also features gleaming polished-stone countertops and custom cabinetry.

Opening the kitchen to the living room allows in natural light from the window, preventing the black-coloured kitchen from feeling too dark.

An otherwise unused area in the entrance hallway has been designed as a unique, eye-catching work area, with the white wall serving as an ideal place on which to showcase artwork.

The mirrored entry door reflects light while enhancing the feeling of spaciousness.

A small windowless den has been repurposed as a “massive dream closet with shoe shelves, sitting area and under-floor storage,” notes the listing.

A cool hanging chair creates a comfy sitting area within the multi-function closet.

A set of steps leads to the bedroom from the living room, which offers ample seating.

The condo’s sole bathroom doesn’t skimp, described as a “marble spa retreat.”

The bathroom boasts an original domed ceiling, along with a standalone bathtub and rainforest shower.

There’s not a lot of space in this bedroom, set within two exposed stone-and-brick walls, but the round bed works exceptionally well in the space.

The exposed stone gives the bedroom an unmistakable heritage vibe.

Vintage furnishings such as this antique desk are a perfect fit in this room.

A single window offers a surprising amount of natural light, while mounting the television to the wall prevents any more of the limited floor space from being taken up.

One of the biggest selling points of the condo is this 315-square-foot tiered private terrace, enclosed by lush greenery.

The spacious deck features plenty of room for outdoor relaxing and al fresco dining.

When the indoor and outdoor space is combined, there’s a cumulative living area of close to 1100 square feet.

Echoing the round bed, this heart-shaped outdoor loveseat is perfect for two.

Despite being in the midst of a densely populated urban area, the terrace offers loads of privacy thanks to the lush garden enclosure.
