I know there are quite a few condos for sale right now, so if you're thinking of buying you have a lot of choice - and if you're like most people you want to make sure you get a lot of bang for your buck.  And the sellers have done an amazing job making sure this condo is perfectly move-in ready for the next buyer. 

If you're looking for a spacious, updated condo in one of Scarborough’s most walkable and convenient neighbourhoods? Welcome to 121 Ling Road, where modern comfort, thoughtful layout, and community-focused living come together in one beautifully maintained package.

This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo is ideal for first-time buyers or downsizers.  With recent upgrades, west-facing sunset views, and a well-managed building loaded with amenities, this unit stands out among the others in the current condo market.

A Kitchen That Truly Stands Out

One of the biggest features of this condo is the updated kitchen.  It's even bigger and has more storage than many kitchens in homes I've sold over the years.  Designed with both function and style in mind, it features:

• Abundant cabinetry for storage including a pantry cupboard
• Ample counter space with beautiful black galaxy granite counters
• Modern led lighting - the kitchen is beautifully bright
• A large breakfast bar ideal for casual meals or entertaining
• Integrated coffee bar

Whether you enjoy cooking elaborate meals or simply want a well-equipped and welcoming space to enjoy your coffee, this kitchen delivers.

A Smart and Comfortable Layout

Unlike many units in the building, the second bedroom in this condo is thoughtfully designed with the entrance off the hallway rather than the main living area. This allows for more privacy and flexibility in how the space is used.  The second bedroom has a large window and closet, too! 

The primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet complete with built-in organizers, providing excellent storage and keeping your space tidy and functional. Both bathrooms have been updated and offer clean, modern finishes.

Other highlights include a full-sized laundry pair with extra storage space and a large, west-facing balcony that provides unobstructed views and incredible sunsets and fits a patio set.

2 Full Bathrooms

It's really rare that a condo this size has two bathrooms - and both are updated!  

Move-In Ready Condition

Selling a home is about more than just square footage and location. In today’s competitive real estate market, presentation is everything. That’s where home staging comes in. Done right, staging can help your home stand out online, attract more buyers to showings, and even spark bidding wars. The best part? You don’t need a full renovation or a huge budget to stage your home effectively. With a little creativity and intention, you can transform your space into something that feels fresh, welcoming, and market-ready.

Here are some creative real estate staging ideas that can make your home feel irresistible to potential buyers:

1. Use Paint to Expand Space and Light

Paint is my client's secret weapon. The right colour reflects light even in a dark room, make rooms feel bigger, and can add the appearance of natural light to any space. 

Paint colours that sell:

Right now, I prefer neutral tones that don't read stark white, but instead are softer.  For greys which are still popular I prefer a warmer grey or pale taupe that can blend with both brown or grey toned furniture.  I enjoy a wall colour that has enough contrast to stand out from the trim to give a higher end look. Eggshell for the walls and semi-gloss for the trim makes both stand out.  Don't be fooled by the word 'white' name in the paint colours - to a paint brand white can look anything from beige to grey in my opinion! 

Behr Spun Wool for walls

Benjamin Moore Dove White walls and trim (it also gives good coverage over darker walls)

Benjamin Moore Simply White for trim

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace for trim (although coverage is not as good as Simply White & Dove White)

2. Create Character in a plain room

Changing a light fixture and painting a feature wall can turn a box into a showstopper with the right accessories.  Or a feature wall in a powder room can transform a space with peel-and-stick wallpaper, available on-line or in any home renovation store

4. Change Light fixtures & switchplates

Lots of homes I sell still have the builder basic light fixtures - see the picture below where we transformed a plain jane condo to a warm hygge space with a feature wall & Ikea light fixture.  

 A handyman can replace old "tongue' light switched to decor switches in an afternoon.

5.  Add lights where there are none

Did you know that you can find plug-in rechargeable lights on Amazon?  These wall mount like a picture and the bulbs remove for re-charging.  A great, inexpensive way to brighten any room.   The pink sconces below were in a home I purchased for a client.  They are rechargeable, with a bulb that is attached to the base by a magnet.  There's a great selection under $100.  Bonus is that if you keep them charged, they work if the power is out! 

6.  Use soft furnishings strategically

Have an outdated or loud piece of furniture that needs to stay for staging?  Neutralize it with throw pillows & strategically placed cosy throws: 

7. Bring in the light

Even though the room above had light sheers, removing the draperies & opening the blinds immediately created a bright, open space.   Replacing heavy drapes with sheer panels pushed to the side can add a finishing touch, too.

8. Stage the Closets

Don’t just stuff everything behind closed doors—buyers *will* look inside! Clear out clutter and stage closets to look spacious and organized. Use matching hangers, neatly folded linens, and a few well-placed baskets to suggest a lifestyle of ease and order.  Remove any clutter on the closet floors, too.

9.  Make it sparkle

A professional deep clean before you list is essential - buyers translate a clean home with a well kept one.

10.  Consider Scent

Our sense of smell is tied closely to emotion and memory.  Use scent to your advantage with subtle candles or diffusers.  I'm talking high-end, subtle scents that are not overpowering - not glade plug ins.  Avoid anything overpowering—you want clean, fresh, and inviting.  

Final Thoughts

Staging is about helping buyers visualize themselves living in your home. These creative ideas don’t require a huge investment, just a thoughtful approach and a little effort. By emphasizing your home’s strengths and creating inviting, memorable moments, you’ll be one step closer to that sold sign.

Many of my clients are hesitant about staging their home to sell, so what does home staging really mean? It's more than just fluffing pillows or adding a vase of flowers — it's a powerful marketing tool that helps your home sell faster and for more money.

Home staging is the art of preparing and presenting a home in a way that highlights its best features and appeals to the widest range of buyers. Think of it as setting the scene — not for living, but for selling.

The key principle of staging is creating a home the buyers can see themselves in. It's about removing distractions — personal photos, bold colors, or clutter — and replacing them with clean lines, neutral tones, and intentional design choices.  Working with hundreds of buyers over the years, I can tell you that they all want:

• To understand the purpose of a room
• To have lots of natural light, and by extension - fresh air
• To have intentional & ample storage
• To have as little to do as possible once they move (because they are spending lots of money just to buy the property)

With that in mind, home staging is not just about bringing in new furniture.  It's looking at the entire home and making it perfect for the ideal buyer.

Good staging is also strategic. It draws the eye to your home’s strengths — like a bright window, spacious layout, or beautiful flooring — while subtly downplaying any flaws.  

You can declutter, neutralize & highlight the space by eliminating personal items, painting in fresh, neutral tones and arranging the furniture to show the space to it's advantage.  And of course, make sure it's in good repair and spotlessly clean! 

️Most staged homes sell faster, and for more money.  And even more important, buyers expect a certain level of staging in today's market.
