The action
The eat-in kitchen has a long island, stainless-steel appliances and an exit to the backyard.Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd.
This four-bedroom house south of the Toronto Cricket Skating and Curling Club was priced below the local norm largely on account of its location on a busy residential street. The sellers rejected a first offer that factored in a heavy discount. When that same buyer came back with an improved offer a few weeks later, they were again rejected as by this time a new buyer had made an offer closer to the asking price.
“Unfortunately for the first buyer, the second offer was stronger than the first one, and it was a firm deal,” said agent Andre Kutyan.

The agent’s take

“It’s in a good school district and good proximity to amenities within walking distance,” said Mr. Kutyan.
“We’re on a 30-foot lot with a built-in, two-car garage and almost 2,800 square feet, whereas a lot of these homes we’re competing with were on 25-foot lots with single garages and were significantly smaller in terms of square footage, so there’s a lot of value in a house like this.”
