8 Dovercourt Road is a modern two bedroom, three bathroom unit listed for $719,000. The description reads: "Is it a townhouse? Is it a loft? Is it heaven?" If your ideal condo features two levels, polished concrete ceilings and a floating glass staircase for under a million, this might be the place for you.

The Art Condos, designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects and Third Uncle, whose accolades include the Drake Hotel, was constructed a few years ago in just down the street from the notorious Bohemian Embassy.

The building and its third floor unit shows nicely. At just over 1,000 square feet, the white walled interior feels spacious, spread over two storeys, and having three bathrooms is always convenient. The private terrace offers a bit of unexpected quiet serenity.
