AND IT WENT FOR - 161 Douglas Drive - ROSEDALE
This house at 161 Douglas Drive in North Rosedale has been listed for a while.
It was first listed on October 21. I posted it on October 29.
It is a 6+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom house on a 45 x 118.37 foot lot.
It could definitely use some work, but for a lot this size, on this street, in this neighbourhood...
I was really surprised that it hadn't sold.
Though readers pointed out the lack of symmetry (which is something I am usually into), there was something about this house that I thought was great.
Here is a shot of the Google streetview which I think shows it better...
Firstly, I never noticed that mailbox. WHAT is that!?!
But as for symmetry, I think it could be fixed by putting the downspout on the right side of the house.
Kind of like the neighbour with a similar lack of symmetry...
And though the floor plan was kind of a mess, I thought this was a good opportunity to get into this neighbourhood and to live in the house as is for a while until you could pay to do the needed renos.
Guess either the symmetry issue or the amount of renos were just too much.
This house was first listed at $2,459,000.
It didn't sell and the price was dropped a couple weeks later to $2,350,000.
Though I thought it was a good opportunity, I thought it would have another drop. It did.
The price was dropped in January to $2,195,000.
It just sold...
For $2,025,000.
Someone got a deal here.
