The action

The buyers of this home in the popular Marda Loop shopping and dining district saw an acceptable trade-off; a modern home but on a busy street. The semi-detached property took only three days to sell at full list price.
“Thirty-third is quite a busy street; you’ve got this very expensive and super nice house, [surrounded by] low-rise apartment buildings, commercial [properties] and bus routes,” said agent Kamil Lalji.
“Many people wouldn’t want to be on that street. But others looked at it as a positive thing, because they get to be in this house and this area with access to all the amenities, and are paying $250,000 less compared to something on a quieter street.”
What they got

This 10-year-old house has roughly 2,319 square feet of living space and a double garage on a 25- by 125-foot lot.
On the main floor is a living room with a gas fireplace and double-height ceilings. The adjacent dining area opens to an upscale kitchen with a two-tiered island and stainless-steel appliances.
The third floor has the primary bedroom with a fireplace, a balcony and a six-piece ensuite; the largest of the home’s four bathrooms.
The second floor and basement both have recreation areas and two bedrooms.
The agent’s take
Germán Cuéllar/German Cuellar
“It’s newer than the average house,” Mr. Lalji said. “And it has 20-foot ceilings, so it’s unlike average infills in the area.”
A south-facing patio and yard offers extra living space, however, parks and recreation facilities are also nearby. “If you’re looking to get into one of the top-rated public schools or be within the vicinity of three excellent private schools, it’s a super, good area,” Mr. Lalji said.
