This brick bungalow lies within an area of the Eringate community that is subject to the noise of traffic from major highways and the airport nearby, says agent JoAnne Gludish.
Nor were any improvements - cosmetic or otherwise - made to the 1950s property.
So to give buyers an incentive to overlook these drawbacks and make an early bid, the three-bedroom house was listed for $349,900 among properties averaging in the mid-$400,000s.
"It was seen as a good buy," says Ms. Gludish, who fielded seven offers within days. "You can't buy much in Etobicoke at that price that is a detached [house]with a private driveway."
Renovations will likely be done to the entire house, which has an eat-in kitchen and L-shaped living and dining room with hardwood floors and crown mouldings.
A laundry room, one of two full bathrooms and an office with a dry bar are in the basement, along with a fourth bedroom and a recreation room both with above-grade windows.
Contained within the fenced grounds is a carport to the side of the house and a multitiered deck and shed in the backyard.
