When you consider that this is what this 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom house used to look like...

You can almost forget about the fact that they didn't open up the back of the house to appreciate the light and the backyard.

Instead of windows looking out to the yard, there is a laundry room and bathroom.

Otherwise, this is quite a transformation.

I don't like the white painted wrought iron grate in the fireplace.  Or the tile thing in the front entrance.  There isn't enough storage in the kitchen and I have no idea what that thing is above the sink (but there is Pellegrino in the kitchen and the family room).

This isn't my favourite house (mainly because of the blocked off yard) but it is a good example of what can be done with an old house.  It was done well with some irksomeness.

For some reason, I do like the 2 sets of stairs though!  Just makes me think that a build out would have made more sense.

But it's not a bad house for $1,099,000.  Considering this house at 31 Fermanagh sold for $1,011,000, it is more than possible that this will sell for asking if not more.
