LISTING AGENT Andrea Morrison, Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd.
The Action: On a popular, child-friendly street in Etobicoke, this detached, two-storey house welcomed visitors during two weekend open houses and more than 20 individuals with private showings.
Like several properties, it was sold for more than $1.4-million in a bidding war.
What They Got: In 2007, Rusand Construction essentially rebuilt this 2,585-square-foot residence on a 40-foot by 110-foot piece of land with a built-in garage and professionally landscaped front and rear gardens.
The living and dining rooms share a three-sided gas fireplace, while a combined family room and Marcon kitchen features another fireplace, cherry cabinetry and granite counters, plus stainless steel appliances and double doors to a two-tiered deck and south-facing yard.
Upstairs, one of the four bedrooms has a three-piece bathroom and Juliet balcony. The master suite is more lavish with a walk-in closet, balcony and largest of five bathrooms.
For extra space, the 1,175-square-foot basement contains a bedroom and fireside recreation room with heated floors, pot lights and a walkout.
The Agent's Take: "It was a beautiful, gorgeous house by a reputable builder and it was beautifully landscaped," says agent Andrea Morrison. "The layout was very welcoming, the room sizes were extremely spacious and it was all done with timeless finishes."
