LISTING AGENT Anil Khera, Royal LePage West Realty Group Ltd.
The Action: Over the span of a few weeks, this one-bedroom residence was seen by more than 100 visitors between showings and open houses. But it wasn’t until the property was relisted under $600,000 that a serious buyer stepped up to negotiate a deal.
What They Got: This 1.5-storey structure was built around the turn of the past century – making it one of the oldest homes on the street – yet still preserves period details, such as its red brick façade, peaked roofline with gingerbread trim and a wide front porch.
Inside, the foyer leads into an open living and dining area with a fireplace, crown mouldings and hardwood floors that extend into the kitchen.
Carpeting covers the floors of a family room addition and a subsequent sunroom addition with sliding doors to the backyard and shed.
The master bedroom upstairs has sliding doors to a flat roof, and an extra bedroom is located in the basement.
The property is equipped with two full bathrooms.
Outdoor parking is situated at the front of the 25-by-100-foot lot, which is steps from popular restaurants, shops and a subway station on Danforth Avenue.
The Agent’s Take: “It’s on a great street – one of the nicer streets in the north part of the Danforth in Riverdale – and it’s detached on a nice wide lot, and it’s one of the original cottages in that area,” agent Anil Khera says.
“It’s beautiful, but it’s a very unique layout that’s not for everybody.”
