457 Sackville Street - CABBAGETOWN
A few days ago, I posted a semi at 430 Sackville Street in Cabbagetown. It was a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom semi on an 18.5 x 99.42 foot lot.
When you think of it, that house...
Feels pretty similar in size to the house I posted yesterday at 162 Fern Avenue in Roncesvalles...
But 430 Sackville is in much better shape.
162 Fern is listed at $649,900 and will probably have a bidding war.
430 Sackville is listed at $1,395,000, but will NOT have a bidding war.
In fact, a reader (thanks J!) pointed out to me that after I posted 430 Sackville, it was no longer listed on MLS even though it is still on the agent's site and still listed for sale.
Could it be because this much bigger and much brighter house down the street was listed the same day for MUCH less?
This house at 457 Sackville Street is a 3+1 bedroom, 4 bathroom house on a 17.25 x 115 foot lot with a detached garage.
Though this house is much bigger, like the house at 162 Fern, it could be move right in, but it could also use a LOT of work. By a lot of work, I mean opening up the kitchen/dining room/family room and making that kitchen a little more functional. Maybe even open it up to the living room as well.
Some people might not like those stairs but I do and it could be nice to see them from the back and front of the house.
The master bedroom is also only access through the bathroom and dressing room which is a bit odd. But the bathrooms are all in good shape and the main ones look like they have been recently renovated.
Plus, compared to 430 Sackville, the rooms are actually quite large. I am not sure how, with that ceiling, a bed could fit in the third floor but there is a finished basement (though no pictures) with another bedroom and a rec room.
Basically, this house feels like it is twice the size of the neighbour that is listed at $1,395,000 (which, in retrospect, I don't see how it could go much higher than the house I actually preferred at 422 Sackville that sold for $920,000).
This much larger house is listed at....
$1,239,000.
Hmmm....wonder which one will sell first!
