The action

A colleague had generated multiple offers for a property near Richmond Hill’s David Dunlop Observatory this summer, so agent Bill Thom thought he stood a good chance of replicating the feat with this four-bedroom house nearby. With the home priced artificially low, several offers immediately came in and a final deal was quickly reached.
“In Observatory Hill at the time, for this price range and for this condition, there was nothing [available],” said Mr. Thom. “It was a unique window in August.
“There was a sale down the street about a month prior for around $2.1-million, and we sold ours a little bit higher. We were just following in their footsteps, knowing theirs sold in multiple offers, so there would be a few buyers around.”
What they got
There is a formal dining room and a living room with cathedral ceilings, as well as recreation areas with fireplaces on the main and lower levels.Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc.

The agent’s take
The 53-by-120-foot lot had been beautified with a pond and gardens.Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc.
“[Observatory Hill] is for people who don’t want to have the loudness of Bayview Hill – where the lots and the houses tend to be bigger. [It’s] a very well-built home, but on a smaller scale and for a smaller price,” Mr. Thom said.
“The original owner also maintained and updated a lot of things.”
