The Action: Just north of Corso Italia shops, bakeries and restaurants along St. Clair Avenue, this custom Scandinavian-inspired residence with a detached garage was privately listed by its owner, a Facebook manager, through Property Guys in mid-February. A month later, it sold for $11,000 more than $1.199-million list price. The $1,210,000 sale price set a record for the area.
What They Got: An award-winning, Swedish architectural firm – Meonia – recently transformed the traditional bungalow on a 20-by-82-foot corner lot into this modern, three-storey structure with dramatic arched trellises above a second-floor balcony and a third-floor master with a Velux roof terrace system that allows skylights to open to two balconies.
Like the wood, stone and stucco façade, the interior is contemporary with a fireside living area, open dining and cooking zones with 14-foot ceilings, as well as a floating staircase with glass panels and stainless steel handrails to three bedrooms upstairs and a basement with a fourth bedroom, recreation area and one of four bathrooms.
