24 1/2 Empire Avenue - LESLIEVILLE
This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house located steps from the 3 bedroom house at 3 Empire that just sold for $525,000 is listed at $469,900.
It has the white trim which I am not into but that could easily be changed.
It looks like they might need a mason to come in and fix those posts holding up the porch but otherwise, this house is nice.
I don't love the glass railings with the blond wood against the floors but it makes a 12 foot wide house seem a lot wider without doing the whole glass wall thing that so many houses seem to be doing these days.
Speaking of floors, it's nice to have the hardwood throughout but it is too bad they didn't stick with the same wood upstairs that they used downstairs.
I am not crazy about the exposed brick, especially in the bedroom where it looks a little dirty but that could be painted like the wall to the basement.
The kitchen looks fine but could be redone without any second guesses.
At least there is a gas stove top unlike 3 Empire's electrical stove!
Problem is, this place doesn't have a finished basement. There is one less bedroom than 3 Empire and there is no 'loft office' which could be looked at as a good thing or a bad thing.
I think because it is only 2 bedrooms and the basement is not done, this might be a tough sell at this price. But it will sell. Probably close to asking.
