The action
The interior of the home is laid out with open living and dining areas and a separate eat-in kitchen.Bosley Real Estate Ltd.
The agent for this three-bedroom house near The Danforth arranged for two open house events over successive weekends in September, with offers welcomed on the following Monday. But one eager buyer short-circuited the plan submitting a bid $326,000 over the asking price the day after it came to market, an offer that was quickly accepted.
“It was a strong offer, and the buyers seemed like the perfect buyers for this property,” said agent Suzanne Lewis.
“A similar house, in terms of lot size and location on the street, sold after seven weeks prior for $1.58-million.”
The agent attributes the quick sale to a month-long makeover. “We worked really hard for the presentation of this house,” Ms. Lewis said.
“We did staging, beautiful photography and video, and also repainted everything, changed the lighting, did the gardening and window cleaning.”
What they got
One of three bedrooms in the 109-year-old Danforth home.Bosley Real Estate Ltd.
On a one-way street running north of Danforth Avenue just east of Pape Avenue, this 109-year-old house has a classic brick façade, bay windows and a wide front porch.
The interior is laid out with open living and dining areas and a separate eat-in kitchen with a back door to a west-facing deck and fenced-in yard.
A full bathroom is near the bedrooms upstairs. Another bathroom is near the recreation area in the basement.
There’s a parking pad at the front of the 20- by 144-foot lot.
The agent’s take
The home features a west-facing deck and fenced-in backyard.Bosley Real Estate Ltd.
“This house was prime for putting in a back addition or third floor,” said Ms. Lewis.
“There’s a strong sense of community [on the street], and it’s close to The Danforth, so you get all the benefits of The Danforth, but are far enough away you don’t hear it.”
