That this three-bedroom house has aging mechanics and finishes from the 1920s was taken into account in its listing price under $1.8-million. It opened its doors to visitors before the Labour Day long weekend, and about a dozen visitors considered how they might modernize the home near \u00c9tienne Br\u00fble Park and the Humber River. Adjacent properties had traded in the $2.3-million range and others in the enclave approached $10-million, noted agent Luke Dalinda.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe price sits below renovated neighbours because the home is still in original condition \u2013 not because demand is soft,\u201d said Mr. Dalinda. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat makes this an outstanding chance to buy into one of Toronto\u2019s most coveted pockets and create value through renovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within eight days, one buyer determined the detached home on a 30-by 94-foot lot was worth $1,675,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cProperties in this exclusive pocket sell very rapidly, regardless of condition,\u201d Mr. Dalinda said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe setting is spectacular. It is situated on a secluded, Old Mill cul-de-sac overlooking the Humber River, with the added privacy of having homes on only one side of the street. It feels like a quiet sanctuary right in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the property sits on a peaceful, secluded cul-de-sac, it is actually just a five-minute walk from the vibrant energy of Bloor West Village, top-tier local schools, and Jane subway station,\u201d Mr. Dalinda said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Open this photo in gallery: This two-storey house has 1,580 square feet of living space, including a den…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":949556,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194291],"tags":[49,48,49594,143460,1398,968,3302,143459],"class_list":["post-949555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-toronto","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-done-deal","tag-donedeal","tag-nodelphi","tag-real-estate","tag-toronto","tag-toronto-home-sales"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949555","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=949555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/949555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/949556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=949555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=949555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=949555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
