The Chef's Kitchen, the Brick and the Walk-In. There's a lot to love about life at 88 Colgate. Starting with a one-bedroom condo that doesn't feel like one. A proper kitchen with gas range and peninsula, exposed brick feature wall and actual space to cook, entertain and settle in. The massive primary bedroom has floor-to-ceiling windows, a walkout to your private balcony, semi-ensuite bathroom and a WALK-IN closet so big the current owner compares it to the wardrobe to Narnia. Your courtyard-facing balcony comes with quintessentially Leslieville views overlooking the Wrigley and iZone lofts, and a pretty great spot for morning coffee or an end-of-day glass of wine. Leave your car in the included parking spot because Queen St, Jimmie Simpson, Blackbird, Ed's Real Scoop and some of the east end's best restaurants, bars and shops are all right outside your door. And when you do need to leave the neighbourhood, the TTC is an easy walk away. Big closet. Proper kitchen. Private balcony. Parking. Leslieville. Turns out, you can have it all in a one-bedroom.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $1032/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Leslieville market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Efficient Living
At 600 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
