When I first saw the listing for this place...
And the photo above of what I thought was the back of the house until I realized it was the front...
The first thing I thought of was the place in my last post at 85 Ilford Road in Wychwood that has a similar front door/back door thing going on, and a similar entryway.
Except this house still has the Élitis wallpaper that I love...
And there is a lot to love about this place.
The front and back steps need a railing and remind me of the steps at the 4 bedroom at 80 Victoria Park Road...
You know like the carnival stairs that flip over....
But these steps are wider.
It used to look like this until it was renovated...
And the inside is great.
There will be a lot of people who are not into it with the metal wall, fireplace, and stairs. But I like it. I like the open kitchen. The bedrooms are a good size and the bathrooms are all good.
It's a 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom detached house on a 25 x 100 foot lot with 1 parking spot and a flagstone backyard.
The asking price was $1,549,000.
Considering that the house at 80 Victoria Park sold a year ago for $1,589,000, the price for this place didn't seem so crazy (they could have removed those cinder blocks for the photos though).
But that house was 4 bedrooms and this house is only 3 bedrooms.
Still, it sold in 3 days...
For $1,549,000.
P.S. If you are like me and you really like that wallpaper...
You might like Eskayal wallpaper as well...

UPDATE: Thanks to the reader below for pointing out that this house was apparently done by Nikki Hall from the 2011 W Network show Sibling Rivalry (never saw it)...
Apparently she is the same person who did the house at 238 Kenilworth Avenue...
That sold for $1,888,000 in December 2013.
Thought those poufs looked familiar...
AND, according to this Globe and Mail article, she was also behind the house at 726 Gerrard Street East....
That sold for $700,000 in November 2012.
And according to the Hall Development website, Dan Hall's (Nikki Hall's sibling) company was behind the house at 79 Fishleigh Drive in Cliffside...
Any others that I am missing?
