The action
A week after Canada Day, this three-storey house near Seneca Polytechnic’s Newnham Campus was listed at an asking price of $1,038,000 and drew more than two dozen visitors. On the day set for reviewing offers, two bids were lodged, with one going $242,000 over the asking price.
“There were not a lot of this type of property at this price,” said agent Bill Thom.

What they got
The two architects who owned this 45-year-old house had worked to renovate it since 2014, adding a new roof and garage door and upgrading the mechanics. They also remodelled two bathrooms and the eat-in kitchen with quartz and ceramic finishes.
There is a dining area on the second floor and an entertaining area on the main level with a gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings and sliding doors to a new deck overlooking the 30- by 150-foot grounds.
The third floor has three bedrooms, the largest of which has a walk-in closet and access to a semi-private bathroom.

The agent’s take
“Both owners are architects, so they certainly upgraded the place very tastefully,” said Mr. Thom.
“Everything had clean lines and was functional. Like the kitchen backsplash; they used much bigger tile than the typical mosaic or small tiles, so it’s cleaner and easier to maintain.”
Tall trees at the back of the home screen it from the clamou of Don Valley Road.
“It has easy access to the subway, and down Don Mills [Road] you can get to Fairview Mall,” said Mr. Thom.
“More importantly, it’s in a good school zone for public school, middle school and high school, and even French Immersion in the area.”
