The Action: Around Centennial Park, homeowners tend to stay put, so when this custom-renovated property near both Centennial and Elmbrook parks came on the market, it quickly got picked up on the radar screens of a dozen serious buyers.
What They Got: Last year alone, more than $100,000 was invested in updating this roughly 35-year-old house on a 62-by 90-foot corner lot, from a new deck off a family room to a four remodelled bathrooms and a kitchen with stainless steel appliances.
- The L-shaped design of this 1,780-square-foot house has a living room with vaulted ceilings protruding outwards while the attached garage is set back by the entrance.
- The balance of the interior is separated for a formal dining room and three upper bedrooms, as well as a 900-square-foot basement with guest and recreation rooms.
The Agent's Take: "It was the last subdivision built in Etobicoke and they built it backing right onto Centennial Park, where they have the huge athletic complex with a hockey arena," says agent Doris Christensen. "It's across from the park and you can walk to the library and shops, so it's a prime location."
The house also had an appealing look. "It had a lot more sunlight through the home than the average," Ms. Christensen notes.
