I've been trying to come up with a list of things I want in a potential condo, since I lost out on the one I had been watching for a while. It seems like if I give myself a list like this, I'll be more likely to act on it or even get the ball rolling towards making this happen in the next 12-18 months.
The place that got away had all that except the window overlooking the farmer's market. Worst case Ontario, it would have had a window overlooking the ugliest post office in the world.

- Exposed brick walls I had that at my previous apartment when I lived alone and I loved it, I thought it looked pretty fucking awesome.
- a nice, modern, large, usable kitchen Throughout my adult life, moving into new places, the kitchens I've been working with have gotten progressively worse. I don't need a kitchen with a dishwasher, but a fairly open space with room to put a butcher block table would be ideal.
- Must allow pets, namely dogs I've seen listings for places that are damn near $200k that say no pets allowed. How are you going to pay a fifth of a million dollars for a living space and not allow pets? If I'm putting down roots at that price and I think it a great idea to adopt a capybara, that's my own god damn prerogative.
- some sort of covered parking, indoor heated parking would be phenomenal. Unfortunately, the areas I'm looking at tend to not afford that kind of luxury. One listing I saw said parking was in a detached structure for $125 a month. Deal breaker.
- rooftop garden space I'm going to buy a plot in my current neighborhood, but having that onsite would be cool.
- A window like at my old apartment with a big ledge to sit on. Bonus if it's a windows overlooking a farmer's market like at my old place. I could justify spending much more money on a condo than I'm comfortable spending just for that amenity.
- Natural gas fireplace "Obviously, not a requirement, but it'd be a bonus
- Onsite fitness center Even better if it's equipped with decent machines and plenty of free weights
