Hi.

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

Enjoy!

163 Heath Street East - MOORE PARK

163 Heath Street East - MOORE PARK

This 4+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom new build is located across the street from the flip at 160 Heath Street that had a lot of potential but didn't quite happen.  I called the neighbourhood Deer Park then but it is really Moore Park.  Or both.  Really, I think it needs its own name.

This house is also located around the corner from the house at 29 Cornish that sold for $915,000 and will probably look like this house in a few years.

This is what this new build used to look like.

Surprisingly, there weren't a lot of trees surrounding this house originally which is strange in this neighbourhood.  I guess it just gives this house more sun from the south facing lot.

The front yard looks a little like a vegetable garden now but that will grow in and look a lot better by next year.

The inside is a relief.  It isn't an awful new build.  It is quite a good new build actually.  I don't know if I love the wall full of closets at the entrance.  One or two would have been good but I guess it provides a LOT of storage.

I love the style of the staging.  There isn't a lot of colour but the furniture suits the floors.  I love the floors!

The kitchen and family room are big and bright but I can't decide if I like the cabinet height or not.  I feel like a few more inches would have made the difference (isn't that what they always say?).  It's also too bad they cheaped out on the back deck because there should be a better walk out from this space.

The rest of the house is done well but the bathrooms seem a little dark.  Maybe it is just the pictures.

It's clearly not as large or done as the house at 190 Forest Hill that is now listed for $5,680,000 (it started at $6,495,000) but better than the awful new build at 18 Hillholm in Forest Hill that was listed for $4,295,000 but is no longer listed (not sure if it sold).  

This house is listed at $2,495,000.  That is $30,000 more than I thought the house at 405 Brunswick in the Annex would sell for.  It was originally listed at $2,395,000 but the price was dropped to $2,295,000 in April. It is no longer listed.  I am guessing it sold for $2,189,000 (UPDATE:  this house is still on the market).

Do you think this house is priced right?  It might be a bit high for this section of Moore Park but it is a pocket that is picking up steam.  I could see this place selling for $2,095,000.  It's still pretty high for the pocket though so it might be a tough sell.

I really wish the kitchen cabinets were just a titch taller.

Liking the Pellegrino, bowl of lemons, and the introduction of pasta as a staging prop!
