117 Glen Road - ROSEDALE
In January 2012, I posted a beautiful old mansion on an 85.42 x 304 foot ravine lot at 117 Glen Road in North Rosedale.
It looked like this...
At the time, I said...
It is ready for a full gut and it better not be by a flipper!
But I mentioned that with a $4,500,000 price tag, it was probably out of a flippers budget to make sense...unless you could sell the side yard property to fund it.
After almost 4 months on the market, it finally sold for $3,218,300.
As I said in my first post...
Whoever buys it better not mess it up. This is a beautiful old Toronto mansion and the building should stay as it is. Don't mess with it. Just make it better!
But then I saw the finished product from the outside at the end of 2014...
And with that super black paint, I got a flipper vibe...
Kind of like the house across the street at 116 Glen Road...
But then it sat for over a year without being listed so I assumed it was a reno that was not done by a flipper.
Then a few readers sent in the recent listing for this house that is now a 5+1 bedroom, 9 bathroom, 9,000 square foot house with a 2 car garage asking about my thoughts.
It wasn't back on the market right away but it didn't sit for too long so...it was probably a flip.
And I was a little worried about the inside considering that I am not a fan at all of what they did on the outside.
But...
I think I kind of like it!
It's still kind of dark on the inside with the dark wood. But with the concrete floor, I don't find it overpowering.
The art throughout the house (and there is LOT of freaking art) is kind of giving me a 'Collection of your Worst Childhood Nightmares' vibe...
And I don't love most of the furniture...
But as far as a high end flip goes, I like it. I think it is pretty versatile in style.
This house sold for $3.2. They probably put at least that in again for the reno and addition (they forgot to do a garage!) which would make it a somewhere between a $6-8 million house.
According to the listing where most of the photos are from...
This house is listed at $12,000,000.
According to the Realtor.ca listing that has different photos featuring a dog and a couple cats...
And some summer photos of the back of the house...
This house is actually listed at $11,600,000.
But either way, I think it's too high.
At least it's cheaper that the price drop of the house in my last post at 120 Inglewood Drive!
