This small complex of three-storey townhouses was built five years ago with homes back-to-back; the rear ones face east and front onto their own gated gardens. The street-side units front on busy Broadview Avenue. Units of both types came on the market on the same day in July; this rear unit sold within three weeks for $1.66-million. It took double that time for the street-facing unit to find a buyer at $1.45-million.
“[The street-facing unit] sat for a very long time, but theirs was on Broadview Avenue, and the turnover is always on Broadview more because of the pedestrian, traffic and noise pollution,” agent Christopher Bibby said.
“But nothing turns over on the back end. Generally, people stay there long-term.”
“[Our unit] had a Broadview address, but it wasn’t actually on Broadview, it was tucked back from the street,” Mr. Bibby said.
“And they had a separately deeded yard or garden space – which is something I’ve never seen – and they were the only unit in the complex that had it.”

“Playter Estates is generally a very residential, family-oriented community, so there are a lot of single-family homes,” Mr. Bibby said. “So to have an opportunity like this is quite uncommon.
“With a lot of homes in the area being of different vintages – and older – everything here was brand new and modern.”
