LISTING AND CO-OP AGENTS Tanya Sidorova and Michael Inwood, Sutton Group Realty Systems Inc.
The Action: In the Alderwood community between the Gardiner Expressway and the lake, this renovated house was explored by about 20 buyers with private showings and 20 more each day of two open houses.
What They Got: Less than a year ago, a bungalow on a 31-foot by 132-foot lot was replaced by this two-storey structure with almost 2,500-square-feet of living space, nine-foot ceilings throughout and high-end details, from crown mouldings and wainscoting to marble, travertine and hardwood finishes.
On the main floor, there is a den, a living room and open dining area, along with a combined family room and kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite-topped island and double doors to a deck, secluded south-facing backyard and garage.
A circular oak staircase leads upstairs to an open sitting room with a balcony and three bedrooms, including an over 400-square-foot master suite with a walk-in closet and access to the largest of four bathrooms.
The one-bedroom basement apartment has a separate entrance, combined kitchen and laundry facilities and an open recreation room.
The Agent's Take: "The owners put a lot of time and effort in renovating this home. Everything was done superbly and the attention to detail was flawless," says agent Michael Inwood. "[It's]a very good size lot and very good price for the neighbourhood."
