Condo of the week: 15 Scarth Road
It’s always nice when you find condos that aren’t completely run-of-the-mill. This century-old Victorian home in Rosedale stands out, and has been transformed into a contemporary condo.
There are three units up for grabs in this house, all designed by Tara Fingold. This particular one is the “New York Penthouse” suite, and it’s both the nicest and most expensive.
It has over 2,000 square feet of living space and another 1,040 square feet dedicated to a divine rooftop terrace that has a spectacular view of the back lawn.
The large backyard is a common area where people and dogs alike can relax.
Inside, the unit has two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main level.
The open living and dining area has a fireplace and French doors opening to a balcony at treetop level.
The kitchen is very modern with a mix of high-gloss white doors and distressed wood.
The master bedroom is bright and airy thanks to the skylights. It also has the original sloping rooflines, which add a nice touch of character.
Both bedrooms have luxurious en suite bathrooms, one with a free-standing tub and a marble shower.
The upper level has a door leading to the rooftop and two rooms, which could be anything; a bar area, home office, a study or more bedrooms, the sky's the limit.

Good For
Anyone who hates the sardine-can-feel of many of the downtown condos. This place only has four units and each one is designed to feel private, with its own character. It would also be great for a couple looking to downsize.
Move On If
You’d rather get more bang for your buck. This place is quite expensive, so if you don’t mind a more typical condo you can get a lot more for less.
