The action
For a week, this semi-detached house was the only property up for sale in the area hugging the railway corridor crossing Queen Street West, and the cheapest option compared to homes in other surrounding neighbourhoods. Sixteen visitors made their way through the home before one cut a deal with the seller at $10,000 off the $1.759-million list price.
“There’s definitely a lot of buyers out there, though the activity is not as robust as it had been earlier in February or when we had the spike of activity in the spring market last year,” said agent Brayden Irwin.
“Part of that has to do with people waiting for interest rates to come down.
“There were some other homes listed closer to Trinity Bellwoods [Park], but typically the prices are a little higher. So we filled in a nice middle ground where you get good value for your money in a nice little pocket.”

This three-storey structure is about 100 years old but has been extensively renovated by the past few owners.
The ground level is set up as a one-bedroom unit with a bathroom, a kitchen with an island, and a living room with a gas fireplace. It also has access to a south-facing deck, and laundry facilities downstairs.
The upper unit is configured with two bedrooms with skylights, two bathrooms and a laundry room, as well as a den, living and dining areas, and a kitchen with a private deck.
The garage faces a lane behind the 19- by 107-foot lot.

“The owner’s suite is on the second and third floor, so it’s like having your own two-storey, single-family home and a bonus rental property,” Mr. Irwin said.
“They maintained a lot of the original features, like … exposed brick walls. So it gave it a lot of warmth.”
