The Action: In May, this back-split residence vied for the attention of buyers monitoring sales in Princess Anne Manor. It had a healthy turnout of 60 parties through two open houses, plus several private showings mid-week, which culminated with two offers.
What They Got: In the past four years, various areas of this 1950s house were updated, from new windows throughout to a modern kitchen and three bathrooms, including one in a master suite with his-and-her closets.
The front portion of the 2,526-square-foot house contains a carpeted living room and dining room, while the rear has three bedrooms upstairs, directly above a lower-level bedroom and family room with an electric fireplace and exit to the south-facing, 76-by-124-foot lot.
Cars be parked on a circular, interlocking brick driveway or inside the attached double garage.
The Agent's Take: "The lot size is fantastic – it's 76-feet wide – which means you can put up a nice big house with a double-car garage," says agent Tasi Farquhar, who cites a 26-foot average in Roncesvalles to 40-feet average in the Kingsway.
"In the city, you'll get anywhere from 17-feet as your average to 40-feet, and once you get further west, you get 60 to 80-feet."
This property is also on a winding, treed street close to amenities for all ages, like schools and shops, as well as a short drive to the airport.
"It was a wonderful family home for many years," Ms. Farquhar notes. "It's on a good section on Twyford, between Aylesbury Road and Sir Williams Lane."
