The action
There are two entertaining areas on the main floor.re-deal-glengowan-0709
To safeguard the health of both seller and potential buyers, the listing agents made sure this three-storey house on a 50- by 136-foot lot was vacant and sanitized before each showing late this March. The extra effort paid off in three bids by April 1st.
“We were at the very beginning of COVID, so we had a virtual tour, original [floor] plan, lots of pictures and prequalified people before they came through,” said agent Carol Lome, who greenlighted about a dozen visitors.
“We had fewer showings, but more qualified buyers.”
What they got
Both entertaining areas are complete with fireplaces.re-deal-glengowan-0709
This six-bedroom, brick-and-stone structure is a remnant from the early 1930s with leaded glass windows, strip hardwood flooring and 18-inch, quarter-sawn, single-plank panelling throughout the 3,745-square-foot space.
There are two entertaining areas on the main floor, complete with fireplaces, as well as a separate dining room with access to a covered porch and deck.
The kitchen and four bathrooms have been updated. There is also a finished basement and a built-in garage.
The agent’s take

“It was a very gracious Lawrence Park house,” Ms. Lome said. “Custom built, so it had the most beautiful millwork, most gracious staircase and large principal rooms.
“It [would be] very easy to do a kitchen/family room without doing an addition, which would be a really nice feature.”
