The action
This 98-year-old house still has its heritage charm and a fireplace.Re/Max Hallmark Realty Ltd.
Summer isn’t generally the best time to put family-friendly homes on the market as many take that time to travel. But with travel restrictions keeping many folks grounded, the traffic to this two-storey house near Humber College and Col. Samuel Smith Park was heavy. About 160 showings were conducted online and in-person within a week, which ended with four offers registered.
“I normally wouldn’t bring it out in the summer, but as families couldn’t travel, it didn’t affect prices this year, and any time was a good time to sell,” agent Linda Ing-Gilbert said.
“[Plus], there was nothing else for sale [in the area] at the time.”
What they got
The kitchen has granite and ceramic finishes.Re/Max Hallmark Realty Ltd.
This 98-year-old house still has its heritage charm, such as a brick façade, hardwood floors and gumwood trim. It also has a fireplace.
At the rear, the kitchen has granite and ceramic finishes, and the adjacent dining area has sliding doors to the deck and backyard. At the front of the 25-foot-by-125-foot lot is an interlocking stone driveway.
The partially finished basement has its own entrance, office and den, plus a renovated second bathroom.
The agent’s take
Dining area has sliding doors to the deck and backyard.Re/Max Hallmark Realty Ltd.
“It has character, it’s detached, and it has what everybody’s looking for; three bedrooms, more than one bathroom and parking,” Ms. Ing-Gilbert said.
“It’s close to the water and a short walk to amenities, and the backyard is like your own private park.”
