DAYS ON THE MARKET One
LISTING AGENT Motria Dzulynsky, Re/Max Professionals Inc.
The Action: In a quiet community hugging the east banks of the Humber River, this three-storey house with a private driveway was listed for one afternoon in April. Only a few agents and members of the public inspected the interiors as a few buyers with offers were pitted against each other by nightfall.
What They Got: A 50-by-140-foot lot anchors this centre hall residence with a formal dining area, fireside living room and stairs up to an office and five bedrooms, including a second-floor master with a walk-in closet and bathroom.
Modernizing this 3,551-square-foot residence are upgraded mechanics and five bathrooms, as well as a renovated family room and kitchen. The former features custom built-in shelving and double doors to the private patio, yard and shed, while the latter is equipped with an island, stainless steel appliances and hardwood floors.
The basement is largely an open recreation area with eight-foot ceilings and heated floors.
The Agent's Take: "It had a lot of aspects families liked – it had five bedrooms, well designed space and really good second and third floors," agent Motria Dzulynsky says. "The sellers did a very tasteful renovation and it was staged and styled on top of that."
But what brought many to this 1930s home was its location.
"Baby Point is a prestigious enclave and the street happens to be off a busy one, so it's quiet and kids can play basketball," Ms. Dzulynsky adds.
