CO-OP AGENT: Ira Jelinek, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd.
The Action: Long-time clients of agent Ira Jelinek were clear in their desire for a spacious condominium near their workplace in York region. So they quickly zeroed in on this two-bedroom penthouse at the Allegra building near Rainbow Creek Park.
"In the Vaughan and Woodbridge areas … there aren't many condo developments, so you don't have much choice," Mr. Jelinek said.
"[In the case of this unit] the location was right, the price was right and the size is what [the buyers] were looking for."
What They Got: This relatively new penthouse is a modern space with 10-foot ceilings, upgraded light fixtures and a southwest-facing balcony with walkouts to the master and combined living and dining area.
The unit comes with two bathrooms with marble vanities, stainless steel kitchen appliances and laundry machines, plus a locker and parking for two cars.
Monthly fees of $433 cover water, heating, concierge, guest, fitness and party rooms.
The Agent's Take: "It's desirable because it's very central; it's right off Highway 7," Mr. Jelinek said.
"It's on the 10th floor, which is the highest floor – so it has higher ceilings compared to the rest of the units – and it has a nice clean layout."
