At almost 1,600 square feet, this North York condo is larger than most, with a layout that includes three bedrooms and a den. When the long-term tenants moved out it was quickly staged and put up for sale. Nine offers were made, with the winner increasing their initial bid to an even $900,000 – a full $240,005 over the asking price.

“The last time a big unit [in the building] sold was in March, but it was a bit smaller – though renovated and updated also – [being] a two-bedroom plus den unit,” said agent Jordan Glaser.

“The response was overwhelming because this was such a big unit and they’re rare, so it’s a great alternative to a house. At 1,600 square feet, if you were to buy that in a semi-detached house or townhouse, you’d be paying well over $1-milllion.”

“It’s an older building, so the units are sizable,” said Mr. Glaser.

“Looking northeast, it’s a residential area, so your sightline goes all the way past York Region on a clear day.”
