Time on the market: Seven days ‘The buyers are clients of our team. They wanted to stay in the neighbourhood for the great schools and easy commute to work,” says listing agent Paul Nusca. “They fell in love with the modern finishes and the size of the home for their growing family.”
The brick-and-stone home, with four bedrooms, five bathrooms and two laundry rooms, is on a 50x140-foot lot that backs on to the Mimico Creek.
“The seller is a craftsman and it is evident in this home with the amount of attention to detail. Everything is custom finished,” he says. “The best feature is the kitchen, which overlooks the
large backyard and ravine. Imported sliding doors to the backyard maximize this view.”
Custom millwork is featured throughout, including built-ins and double-stacked crown mouldings in coffered ceilings. There are hardwood floors throughout. The white kitchen has a marble centre island and stainless steel appliances.
Providing comfort for the whole family, each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. The master suite also has a walk-in closet and a view of the ravine.
Vaulted ceilings add an airy feeling to the other bedrooms. The lower level includes a recreation room and a nanny’s suite.
The bright home also has four gas fireplaces, two laundry
rooms, pot lights and a teak wet bar.
“The house had been listed on and off with different sales representatives. With our team touches — strategic modifications and staging — the house sold very quickly and for the highest price achieved in the neighbourhood,” Nusca says. It sold for 98 per cent of the asking price.
Co-listing agent Ashleigh Pyne says the location helped. “The proximity to the subway, downtown and some new restaurants and shops along Bloor Street West makes this neighbourhood desirable for young families and working professionals.”
