85 Ilford Road - HILLCREST
This is a 3+1 bedroom, 3 bathroom detached house with 2 parking spaces on a 17 x 133 foot lot at 85 Ilford Road in Wychwood/Hillcrest.
It was last listed in April 2014 and here are the BEFORE photos...
Ummm...I kind of love it!
Especially that front entryway with the concrete floors and that Clarissa Hulse and Harlequin Kallianthi wallpaper...
It reminds me of the master bedroom wallpaper in the house at 324 Glen Road in Rosedale that recently sold for $1,599,000...
A wallpaper from Élitis...
A French company who also make this wallpaper...
And this one...
Which also comes in this colour...
This colour...
And this colour...
Buuuuuuut....
The people who flipped this house got rid of that wallpaper.
They did put in a nice floor and opened up the house and installed a large kitchen. There are now gas fireplaces in the living room and master. They have built a new deck.
But it might be a little too small for that table...
In April, this house was listed at $879,000.
I am not sure what it sold for, but considering that it was a move in ready house before (with a bit of a messy oven vent in the wall) and that it is across the street from the house at 84 Ilford Avenue...
That need a lot of work and sold for $1,205,000 in the spring...
I am guessing this place sold closer to $950,000 in April (please correct me if I am wrong!).
According to the listing...
This home was gutted & restored top to bottom.
But the toilet and sink are still the same in the basement.
This house is now listed at $1,495,000.
So, is this worth a $500,000 increase (assuming I am right on the April selling price)?
Considering the 2 bedroom (could be 3), 3 bathroom semi on the 20 x 110 foot lot at 110 Benson Avenue sold for $980,000 two years ago (which would make it a $1,176,000 now!)...
I don't think this is far off.
But it still is only a 3 bedroom house.
