The action<\/p>\n

After being on the market for four weeks, there were still no offers for this three-bedroom bungalow backing onto Angus Glen Golf Club, a championship golf course in Markham, about 40 kilometres northeast of downtown Toronto. But once the asking price was reduced by $190,000, five bids rolled in.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgents that were circling around came back as soon as there was an offer registered,\u201d said agent Kimm\u00e9 Myles. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo one wants to be the first in.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sellers chose a $1.95-million deal with a minor condition. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn a tough market, we did very well,\u201d Ms. Myles said. \u201cThe fact we had five offers spoke of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe decided we were going to go with the one that was safer and we knew would close, especially in this market. It\u2019s not a market to take risks.\u201d<\/p>\n

What they got<\/p>\n

This 21-year-old bungalow has more than 2,900 square feet of living space, including two bedrooms on a loft level and a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and a five-piece bathroom on the main floor.<\/p>\n

There is an office, a formal dining room and a living room with 18-foot ceilings and a new fireplace. <\/p>\n

The updated, eat-in kitchen has an island, a butler\u2019s pantry and sliding doors to a new flagstone patio, hot tub and saltwater pool on the 55- by 111-foot lot. <\/p>\n

There is interior access to a double garage and bathrooms on each level, including the partially finished basement.<\/p>\n

The front door, heating and cooling systems were recently replaced. <\/p>\n

The agent\u2019s take<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful, absolutely stunning home,\u201d Ms. Myles said. <\/p>\n

Despite it being near the golf course, buyers were assured the house would not be in the line of fire. \u201cThere wasn\u2019t any risk of any stray golf balls coming onto this property.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Open this photo in gallery: The bungalow has more than 2,900 square feet of living space.Sotheby\u2019s International Realty…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":324304,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,49594,143460,622,1398,968,82,143459],"class_list":{"0":"post-324303","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-done-deal","11":"tag-donedeal","12":"tag-golf","13":"tag-nodelphi","14":"tag-real-estate","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-toronto-home-sales"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324303\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/324304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
