ADDRESS: 33 Lombard St., Suite 4501
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Church-Yonge Corridor
AGENT: Todd Sloan, Sutton Group-Associates Realty Inc.
PRICE: $2,399,000
THE PLACE: Located in a historic quarter of downtown, sitting across the street from St. James Cathedral and steps away from St. Lawrence Market, this four-bedroom penthouse in the Spire is wrapped in terraces and windows providing a 360-degree bird’s eye view of Toronto.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: The building won an Urban Design Award of Excellence in 2009—heck, even the Toronto Star’s fusty architecture columnist Christopher Hume gave it an A grade—not to mention that every room comes with a view (there’s even a view from the tub, where you can float above the city).
THE BIG SELLING POINT: Most downtown homes have limited space to raise a growing brood, but with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms and a massive kitchen island, this condo has enough space to allow you to both live in the city core and comfortably raise a family.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: With floor-to-ceiling windows, the dizzying heights of the 45th-floor penthouse are hard to ignore. Not recommended for those who experience vertigo easily.

Really nice… I wonder if you bought a place like that if you could have a grill or smoker up there?

October 3, 2011 at 11:27 pm | by CEEMe like…except for the white walls (of all the colours to choose from, why go with the same colour as the base primer?). Come to think of it, if I could afford this place, I’d likely need another two parking spots, and I probably wouldn’t be a big fan of the neighbourhood either…but otherwise, not bad.

October 6, 2011 at 6:35 am | by love itI REALLY LOVE THE SURROUND VIEW THAT YOU GET AT ANY ANGLE, EXCELLENT ! And to live in the heart of downtown Toronto is just fantastic, with everything at your finger tips, eh, wow !

October 6, 2011 at 10:33 am | by DavediggerMy friend lives here and the condo is totally incredible. Views to die for (you can see the CN tower). The art is fantastic – gallery art everywhere – this place is definitely not cheap. You’d be thrilled and bragging about it if this were your place!
October 6, 2011 at 4:57 pm | by Top Left@Top Left the art looks fine but the decorating leaves much to be desired for a place that expensive (that shelf with the potted plants… ugh!!). They should have engaged a stager because the furniture is a HUGE turn-off!
