The action

This five-bedroom house, less than a block west of Yonge Street, sold in standard fashion in May, much like other multimillion-dollar properties in the family-oriented community. The owner did not impose a deadline for house hunters to stop by or make an offer, giving one buyer a couple weeks to comparison shop, examine it several times, and negotiate a $3.8-million deal.

“It was a unique house with 2.5-storeys, so it was really large with lots of rooms, perfect for a family needing space to spread out or grow into” said agent Brayden Irwin.

“It’s nice to just have a normal market where buyers have some choices, and sellers don’t have to worry if their house doesn’t sell in two days. It’s a good balance.”

What they got

This Edwardian-style house with an attached garage was erected on a 50- by 132-foot lot in the 1920s.

Over time, it was modernized with updated mechanics and expanded for a total of 3,288 square feet of living space.

The four bathrooms were recently updated, and the eat-in kitchen was redone with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and access to a multitiered deck.

Traditional elements remain, such as coffered ceilings in the front foyer and dining room, and fireplaces in entertaining areas on the main, second and lower levels.

The agent’s take

“Lytton and Alexandra are the two main [boulevards] where they’re all 50-footers for the most part, and beyond that, sections of streets have 50-footers and more of a mix of 25-, 30-, and 40-foot lots,” said Mr. Irwin.

“It’s in between Duplex [Avenue] and Yonge Street, which is a little busier with car traffic, but the backyard faced south, and it was quiet back there with a beautiful wide, open space to enjoy.”
