LISTING AGENT Bill Mohan, Sutton Group Realty Systems Inc.
The Action: Early February was an advantageous time to promote properties in the High Park community. For instance, this three-storey, brick house was one of a handful available, logging more than 100 visitors between private showings and public open houses, which snowballed into a multiple offer situation.
What They Got: The windows and a two-year-old hot tub are the newest components of this 110-year-old residence with a five-bedroom and three-bathroom plan.
There are living and dining rooms and a kitchen with a walkout to the south-facing deck, backyard and three-car parking off a lane behind the 30-by-163-foot lot, in addition to a second-floor sunroom and lower-level recreation room.
The Agent's Take: "It wasn't in perfect condition … but the lot was 163 feet deep. Most lots are 100 or 110 feet," says agent Bill Mohan.
"So it's a really deep lot that is south-facing and in a demand area with good schools and a block from the subway."
