Hi.

Welcome to the MASH where we gossip about current real estate listings.

Enjoy!

151 Lippincott Street - SOUTH ANNEX

151 Lippincott Street - SOUTH ANNEX

This 3+1 bedroom, 2 bathroom row house on a 13.25 x 137.08 foot lot with a 1 car garage has been listed for a while.

It was first listed in April for $1,039,900. 

Here is the video from that listing...

Obviously, the new agent has done some staging on the first floor that looks really good.

Technically, this house is probably more like a 2+2 bedroom house because the 3 bedroom is more like a loft room which makes that price pretty high.

Sure, there is a good family room at the back and the kitchen is a good size but the whole house is kind of dark.  It kind of reminds me of the house at 573 Clinton Street in Seaton Village.  That was a smaller 3 bedroom semi with no parking and it sold for $740,000.

But the dark isn't a big deal because it could all be painted over.  The kitchen seems large enough that the upper cabinets could be taken out, the lower ones painted and the backsplash changed.  I feel like it would open it up a bit and really brighten the space.

It's just that this isn't really a 3 bedroom.  

The new price is $989,000.

Considering that a church conversion house at 314 Palmerston Boulevard just sold on the other side of Bathurst for $3,470,000, it's clear that this neighbourhood at College and Bathurst is improving.

But I think for what is really a narrow 2 bedroom house, this might be a little high.  Since it has been sitting at this price for over a month, looks like I am not alone.

I don't think it is that overpriced though.  Perhaps something closer to $925,000.  

It is a nice house.
