The big sell: This westside house was the subject of a full renovation in 2007 with the listing agents reporting that more than $500,000 was spent. Big-ticket items were addressed such as all new plumbing and electrics as well as updated bathrooms, flooring and fixtures and a gourmet kitchen with bespoke cabinets, a built-in espresso machine and an oversized island with a Carrera marble countertop. The formal living room has a double-height ceiling with a clerestory window while a glass-sided staircase leads to two upper levels — the first displaying a galleried landing, off of which is the master bedroom complete with a glass wall that looks down into the living room, and a custom six-piece Smart Spa ensuite bathroom — and the second level accommodating three bedrooms and two rooftop decks.

There are quartz countertops in both the master ensuite and family bathroom and other updates include vinyl windows, and a newer furnace and roof. The lower level, according to the listing agents, would be easy to convert to suite.
