This loft-style condo in Little Italy has two floors and a ‘stunning' balcony. Is it worth the $840,000 price tag?
#GTAHomeHunt is a series from the Star that gets into the details of real estate listings in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Have a tip? Email us at social@ Price: $839,900 Neighbourhood: Little Italy X-factor: With an expansive patio and floor-to-ceiling windows, this loft-style apartment offers residents panoramic views of Toronto's skyline and the CN Tower. The one-bedroom condo, located on the eastern edge of Little Italy, stretches almost 900 square feet of living space over two floors. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Perfect for entertaining, the open-concept living room and kitchen leads to a nearly 300-square-foot terrace. Combined with enormous southern-facing windows, the unit blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor living, according to its listing on The first floor features a living room, dining area, kitchen and powder room — which can be an added bonus for potential buyers looking to host. What's the neighbourhood like? Located on the corner of College and Bathurst Streets, the condominium at 301 Markham St. is one of the only buildings of its height in the area, leaving the view unobstructed, according to Karolina Armstrong, a local realtor who shared her thoughts on the listing with the Star. Armstrong said the unique layout and 'stunning outdoor balcony' jumped out as some of the home's best features but was most drawn to the location. 'It's such a lively area, nice character at that intersection,' she said. 'You're living in a place where people normally come and visit, and it's just part of your everyday life.' The outdoor terrace is large enough to place furniture and entertain, or simply enjoy the sweeping skyline views. The neighbourhood is filled with a mixture of boutique and high-end restaurants but still has essential amenities like grocery stores or pharmacies within walking distance, Armstrong said. The apartment is close to stops along the 511 Bathurst and 506 Carlton streetcar routes and is a 15-minute walk from Trinity Bellwoods Park. Is it priced fairly? Compared to other units on the market, Armstrong said the loft is more expensive in comparison, with a price tag veering into 'two-bedroom territory' and higher condo fees. The added dollars aren't without a reason though. Armstrong said the unit is significantly larger than the average one-bedroom which makes it hard to make an equitable comparison. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW The bedroom connects to a walk-in closet, includes built-in light fixtures and is larger than the average Toronto apartment bedroom, a local real estate agent said. 'There really isn't anything else on the market like it right now,' said Trish Mutch, the property's broker with Keller Williams Portfolio Realty. Mutch added she thinks the unit is priced 'very fairly' for its massive windows and address in Little Italy. Some of the unit's features stand out from others in the building, Mutch said, including an oversized, south-facing terrace with a view of the waterfront. Armstrong said the condo might appeal most to a young professional or hip couple 'that is looking for a unique space and places value on the location,' noting the slightly industrial appearance and exposed concrete ceilings. Potential buyers looking to entertain might also appreciate the unit's 'stunning' terrace, Armstrong added. 'That is such a unique feature to be able to put all that furniture out there on the balcony,' she said. 'It's really unique to be able to to have that size in the city in general.'

Murderer who spent 4 decades in prison for drowning girl, 13, is arrested for allegedly having child porn
A California murderer who spent four decades in prison for beating and then drowning a 13-year-old girl is back behind bars after allegedly being caught with disturbing child pornography, according to officials. Marvin Lee Mutch, 68, was released in 2016 after spending 40 years in San Quentin Prison for murdering Cassie Riley in 1974, later becoming the subject of a documentary, 'The Trials of Marvin Mutch.' Mutch was just 18 at the time of the murder — and out on bail awaiting trial for allegedly kidnapping another 13-year-old girl at knifepoint when he drowned Riley. He was taken into custody in Vallejo last Thursday for possession of child sexual abuse material, booking data from the Solano County Sheriff's Office shows. 4 Freed child murderer Marvin Lee Mutch has been arrested for possession of child pornography. Hearst Newspapers via Getty Images The murderer — who has always maintained his innocence — was serving as a director of advocacy for the Prisoner Reentry Network when he was re-arrested. Several electronic devices were also seized for 'forensic examination,' the sheriff's office said. Mutch is being held on a $300,000 bail and faces charges of possession of child pornography, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, being a convicted felon in possession of ammunition and possession of a controlled substance while armed. 'The investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may be forthcoming,' the sheriff's office said. Mutch is due in court again on Tuesday for a hearing, booking data shows. 4 Mutch was 18 when he was arrested and later jailed for the murder of 13-year-old Cassie Riley. Marvin Mutch via KQED The body of 13-year-old Cassie Riley was discovered in September 1974 in a creek bed close to her home. She had been beaten and held underwater until she died, prosecutors said at the time. A jury took just five days to find Mutch guilty of murder. 4 Behind bars Mutch became an advocate for prisoners' rights. Marvin Mutch via KQED Mutch was sentenced to seven years in prison in 1975 but always maintained his innocence. He spent the next 40 years in San Quentin Prison after being repeatedly denied parole, eventually securing his release in 2016. 4 Electronic devices were seized from Mutch's home. Solano County Sheriff's Office Mutch's Prisoner Reentry Network rushed to his defense after his latest arrest last week, claiming he is facing 'persecution.' Mutch 'has been accused of crimes he did not commit,' the group insisted in a statement shared on Sunday along with an online fundraiser to pay for the convicted child-murderer's legal costs. 'Marvin has supported the interests of California's prisoners for the past 50 years and this persecution is the cost of his advocacy for human rights,' the post read — sparking fury in the comments. 'You must be joking,' one person wrote, while another added: 'Every single person who donated to this is sick.' The Prisoner Reentry Network did not respond immediately to requests for comment.

Child pornography arrest for Vallejo man who served four decades for murder
A Vallejo man who served 41 years in prison for murdering a 13-year-old girl and whose experience inspired a feature-length documentary has been arrested on suspicion of possessing child pornography, drugs and a firearm. Deputies raided Marvin Mutch's home Thursday in connection with a child pornography investigation, according to a news release from the Solano County Sheriff's Office. Mutch, 68, was previously convicted in the 1975 Union City murder of 13-year-old Cassie Riley and served 41 years of a life without parole sentence, though he always denied any connection to the crime. He was granted parole in 2016. After his release, he became the subject of KQED News' first feature-length digital documentary, ' The Trials of Marvin Mutch, ' which is part profile, part detective story and part exposé. Mutch spent much of his time advocating for incarcerated inmates, appearing in Chronicle stories about prison suicide after a friend at San Quentin State Prison killed himself. After his arrest Thursday, Mutch was taken to a local hospital because of an ongoing medical condition and remains in custody, Sgt. Rexall Hawkins said. Mutch is set to be booked into Solano County Jail on three weapons charges, a charge of possessing child pornography and a drug charge.
