The Action: The sellers of this two-storey residence in Humber Valley stood firm on their bottom line, so lowball bids were rejected. Online exposure, including an elaborate virtual tour, weeded out buyers with just a passing interest, resulting in a serious bid before the month's end.
What They Got: This renovated centre-hall residence has a grand foyer and staircase between the principal rooms, including a living room with a two-sided gas fireplace shared with a family room with a walkout to a deck and flagstone patio, which is also accessible from an eat-in kitchen next to the dining room.
Four upper bedrooms feature hardwood floors, including a sky-lit master retreat with a walk-in closet and largest of four bathrooms, while a guest bedroom is carpeted along with a fireside recreation room in the basement.
For ease in entertaining, there is a wine cellar, attached garage and private driveway on the 57-by-129-foot lot.
The Agent's Take: "It's a fabulous neighbourhood, just one street away from multi-million dollar homes," agent Tasi Farquhar says. "And it's a mature neighbourhood with trees and parks nearby, so it's a nice place, quiet enough kids could play on the street."
And all homes are different, this one is no exception. "The house itself was really delightful, it was a nice family home … and it had been renovated a few years ago," Ms. Farquhar says. "It has a lot of good character, good charm and good ambience."
