‘During the oneweek marketing period, this house had 85 showings and 10 offers were registered,” says listing agent Jillinda Greene.
The 22 by 150-foot lot and three-bedroom, one-bathroom brick semi-detached house offers lots of options so it caught the interest of a number of different potential buyers, she says. “I told my client the home would appeal to young couples with children or older buyers looking to downsize ... The potential to build a laneway house would attract those looking to add income to their investment without housing a tenant in their personal space. It would also appeal to a parent with young adult children or buyers wanting to make a dynamic space for a parent. The target market was buyers exploring the possibility of applying to renovate the existing home, renovate and add a two-storey addition, renovate/add and build a laneway house or various other combinations.”
Greene says the buyers were people looking to gut the property because of its “sold-as-is” condition.
The deep lot also offers choices, she says. “With city approval to renovate/build, the 150-ft deep lot could accommodate two separate outdoor/garden areas. These possibilities make the home a rare offering.”
The lane behind the property is extra wide and is “in excellent condition, with access from Pickering and Lawlor streets. There is already a beautiful city-approved laneway house south of this property,” she says.
Two hundred Lawlor has two parking spaces with laneway access. It’s north of the “currently trending Kingston Road with cafés, restaurants, artisan shops and galleries, the new YMCA and a location in the Malvern and Adam Beck school district location. This house had something for everyone. It’s a vibrant community of friendly neighbours, in an area walkable to The Beach and boardwalk.”
