More than 40 people came to tour the house over a twoday period, drawn by its beautiful renovation, says listing agent Richard Sherman. The property sold for 103 per cent of the asking price.

“It’s rare to see a totally renovated house in the Lower Village on a 40x137-foot lot come up for sale. The demand is high for end-user buyers who want very little work to do.”

He says the home has great curb appeal, with manicured gardens and a brick-andstone exterior. Stone steps and wrought iron railings lead to the arched front door.

The five-bedroom, fourbathroom home has a clean fresh interior that blends a contemporary backdrop with features such as original mouldings to add character.

The bright, sunny home has a main-floor family room addition with a coffered ceiling and crown moulding. The living room has a gas fireplace and a leaded glass bay window. The dining room also has leaded glass windows.

The gourmet kitchen has double French doors to a private garden that’s been “beautifully maintained by the current owners,” Sherman says.

The house was built in 1929 and the total renovation has been done over the past 15 years, he says. “Initially the two-storey addition was done in 2004 and then various renovations were completed over the past seven years.”

The master suite has an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet. A handy feature is the main-floor mud room, which has a walkout to the one-car attached garage. The lower level has a bedroom, an exercise room and a recreation room, other features potential buyers appreciated.

The renovation has created a home that’s ideal for entertaining, for family enjoyment or both.
