The action
This four-bedroom house in a residential enclave near Highway 404 and Elgin Mills Road attracted two quick offers and sold considerably over the asking price.
A revived market and a thorough staging undoubtedly helped the sale, said agent Hiuyan Bow, but an auspicious address may also have lent a hand.
“Eighteen in the Chinese communities is a very sought after number,” said Ms. Bow, “so on any given street, there are only so many of those addresses.”
What they got
This 12-year-old house has numerous modern conveniences, four bathrooms and a double garage accessed through the laundry room.
The living and dining areas have nine-foot ceilings, pot lights and hardwood flooring. The family room is equipped with a gas fireplace.
The eat-in kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops, an island and stainless steel appliances.
The basement is unfinished.
The agent’s take
“There’s a lot of great schools in the area, so it’s a very family-oriented neighbourhood,” Ms. Bow said.
“The public school, literally steps from the home, is a French immersion school.”
