Hi.

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

Enjoy!

AND HERE IT IS NOW/PRICE INCREASE - 17 Berryman Street - YORKVILLE

AND HERE IT IS NOW/PRICE INCREASE - 17 Berryman Street - YORKVILLE

This is a 3+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom house on a 20 x 118 foot lot at 17 Berryman Street in Yorkville.

I first posted it in February 2013 when it looked like this...

 With an inside like this...

So, it was a gutter.  But as it was a heritage house, the front needed to stay the same.  

The asking price was $1,079,000.  I wondered if they could extend in the back, and if they could, this would probably sell around asking.

It sold for $1,059,000.

And in December, it was back on the market with a rendering...

But no inside photos.  

The asking price was $3,298,000.

As of yesterday, it came on the market as a finished product with interior photos.

And though I love the front, and the inside is a pretty great house...

My reaction when I saw the photos was more along the lines of...

The kitchen is at the front door which kind of drives me crazy.

And this is the first thing you would notice (or at least the first thing I noticed) when you walk into the kitchen from the front door...

(A little thing, but it is really bugging me.)

The kitchen is a good kitchen though.  And the rest of the house is good.  

Except the stone around the fireplace and the stone in the master bath...

  I am not a fan of that stone at all, and to me it doesn't really go with the floor.  I wonder how much that wall would cost to change, or it it could be changed.

One of the bedrooms on the second floor doesn't have a window to the outside, so is probably better as an office. 

And that +1 bedroom?  Here it is...

So, though it kind of made sense that this was going to be a fancy bachelor pad after I saw this in one of the builder's website renderings....

I am not really sure what I had in mind of what this was going to be...

But this isn't really it.

This is now listed at $3,395,000.

And there is no parking.

Hmm...wonder if the place at 41 Berryman Street ever sold..

After its price drop to $3,690,000 in October.
