Gorgeous Toronto condo on sale for $4.2 million is actually inside of an old mansion

The last time this unique Toronto condo unit at 37A Elm Ave. sold was back in 2013, and even then, it went for a staggering $2,280,000.

Now, the three-bedroom, four-bathroom condo is back on the market for a whopping $4,199,000, and it may have already been snapped up. 

But honestly, it’s not surprising that it didn’t last long even at that price, the place is GORGEOUS!

The front entrance. 

As one of only three suites, 37A Elm Ave. is a rarity.

A marble fireplace in the living room. 

Combine that with the fact that it has over 3,400 square feet of living space inside the old Larkin Mansion, and you’ve got yourself a prize jewel of a home. 

Another antique marble fireplace in the library. 

Inside the home, you’ll find yourself greeted by tall ceilings, huge principal rooms, and tons of natural light.

The dining area with wraparound windows. 

Also, because it is in an old Rosedale mansion, there’s plenty of charm and character. 

The kitchen. 

The Larkin Mansion was converted into three condos in 1989, and, as the listing points out, they did so with the “highest level of craftsmanship and design.”

A stunning red marble fireplace. 

You’ll notice original wood details that have been preserved, antique marble fireplaces galore, and great built-ins. 

A bathroom. 

However, there are definitely some spots in the house that could use a little updating. 

The kitchen gets lots of natural light. 

For example, the kitchen screams early 2000s with the black granite counters and glossy white cabinetry.

Similarly, the primary ensuite bathroom has a weird glass door that reminds me of a dentist’s office and the same black granite everywhere.

The other thing that dates this unit is the broadloom wall-to-wall carpeting. 

The primary bedroom. 

But these are all just cosmetic things that could easily be fixed.

Another bedroom. 

Also, considering these units are so rare to come to market, a few dated features aren’t going to be a deal breaker. 

The stone terrace. 

The condo also boasts 700 square feet of storage in the basement, two parking spots, and large stone terraces for outdoor space.  

A built-in work area. 

The only thing this condo doesn’t come with are amenities like a concierge or gym.

It’s more like living in a house, but you don’t have to do yard work or house maintenance, which, if you think about it, really is the dream.
