LISTING AGENT Greg Carros, Sotheby's International Realty Canada
THE ACTION: On a winding street just west of Shaughnessy Park, this two-storey house received more than one offer shortly after ten parties completed their private tours.
WHAT THEY GOT: Peter Wardle was the architect behind this 24-year-old infill house, which was one of two residences added behind the original property on site.
At the centre of the 2,992-square-foot dwelling, there is a living room with a central fireplace, vaulted ceilings open to above, multiple windows and walkouts to a west-facing garden.
Secondary entertaining areas on the main floor includes a dining room and an eat-in kitchen with a granite-topped island and high-end appliances, while personal quarters consist of a fireside den, a laundry room and a master suite with a walk-in closet and one of three bathrooms.
On the upper level, there are two bedrooms, both with entry to a bathroom and one with a study room.
There is a garage for parking, but for those without a car, it is a short walk to schools, transit and shops on Granville Street.
THE AGENT'S TAKE: "It was well priced, in a good location and it was a niche that is not always available as an infill house," says agent Greg Carros. "The rooms were a good size and the master was on the main floor, so that was a positive."
