The kitchen includes a double stainless-steel sink, built-in dishwasher and a pass-through section to the living room. There is an en suite storage room and a laundry room with stacked washer and dryer.

The master bedroom also has a bank of windows, and features his and hers closets, a four-piece semi-en suite with separate shower stall and soaker tub.

The monthly maintenance fee of $353 covers utilities, central air conditioning, and cable. An additional locker costs $35 a month.

Common amenities include an indoor swimming pool, exercise room, indoor basketball/squash courts, a party room and landscaped grounds.

It is less than a five-minute walk to Lake Ontario or High Park.
