DAYS ON THE MARKET Six

LISTING AGENT Anil Khera, Royal LePage West Realty Group Ltd.

The Action: Near the cluster of film studios and industrial outposts in Leslieville, property values are rising, with a few residences recently selling before their offer dates for over $1-million. While there was no bully offer on this semi-detached house backing onto the Morse Street playground, there were two rival bids on the presentation date mid-April.

What They Got: Within the past year, this home, older than a century, had been essentially gutted to modernize the 1,260-square-foot interior with contemporary decor and updated mechanics and windows, plus new roofing and fresh landscaping for the 16-by-129-foot lot.

Hardwood floors in the living room flow through the dining area and the kitchen has been revamped with stainless steel appliances, a reclaimed wood breakfast bar with exposed bark on one edge, a new powder room and a walkout to a deck.

The second floor was given a skylight, laundry facilities and one of two full bathrooms with heated floors to serve the three bedrooms.

The 630-square-foot basement was dug out and carpeted in the guest room and recreation area.

Two-car parking is situated off a laneway.

The Agent's Take: "The biggest selling feature would be that it's a meticulous and very well-thought-out renovation done over a period of eight months," said agent Anil Khera.

"It has high quality workmanship and everything – not only what you see but everything behind the scenes – was also done at a very high level."

Curious neighbours even envied elements their homes lacked. "Semis tend to be a little bit darker, but this has a nice big front window west-facing … and a huge skylight above the stairwell that brought so much light into the house," Mr. Khera states.

"For the breakfast bar, [the sellers] put in a single piece, live edge slab … it's very rustic and adds a really nice feature to the kitchen."
