Condo of the week: 1 Scott Street

This two bedroom, two bathroom unit at 1 Scott Street is on the market for $649,900. Located in the "London On The Esplanade" condos, the two-tower development was built in 2009 and contains a mix of lofts, high-end suites and London-style flats.

While some may chuckle at the condo's oddball name, the building was named for the pub-laden area, and the luxury sub-penthouse suite would serve as a really great shag pad. The unit features an open concept layout with floor-to-ceiling windows, a small balcony, parking and locker.

The condo amenities are sweet (rooftop pool, aerobics room, theatre), but the true benefits derive from the neighbourhood itself. St. Lawrence Market is the downtown destination for meat, cheese and seafood and with a massive redevelopment in the works, expect additional market-traffic to the area.

There's a new strip of restaurants along Market Street and lots of beer markets, coffee shops and the Distillery District nearby. London is calling, even if the building overlooks The Old Spaghetti Factory. Take a look at what a $650K condo looks like on the Esplanade.
