LISTING AGENT Bill Thom, Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc.
The Action: Within steps of Cummer Park and the extensive East Don Parkland system, this semi-detached house was one of few properties available in the established community this winter.
So even though it has oil heating and a partially finished basement, more than two dozen buyers ventured inside for closer scrutiny and two returned with a proposal.
What They Got: A 60-by-60-foot lot on a quiet crescent provides the base for this over 40-year-old brick residence with a built-in garage and updated roof, heating and cooling systems installed by the seller after 2001.
High traffic areas include a kitchen finished with ceramic backsplashes and vinyl floors and open living and dining rooms with a moulded ceiling and hardwood floors, that also appear in four bedrooms upstairs by the largest of two bathrooms.
The Agent's Take: "It's an entry price point … but it is still a four-bedroom house so that's what's good about it," said agent Bill Thom, who adds that other homes have one less bedroom. "[Furthermore], this one is two-storeys and most of them are bungalows or side or back-splits."
