This 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house is located right across the street from Trinity-Bellwoods park.

But the lot is only 24.5 x 68.17 feet.  That means there is no parking.

This house was listed a little over a year ago on February 2, 2011 for $699,000.  For some reason, the price was raised a week later to $749,000

It is now listed at $829,000 and I am pretty sure not a lot has changed. It was 'renovated' then and it is 'renovated' now.  I don't think there have been any major changes.  

They need a better electrician who will help them get rid of all their extension cords and someone who doesn't just drill a hole in the wall and plug the tv into the exposed outlet by the floor..

I feel like this is a good example of all the 'renovations' in the house.

Why don't the kitchen cupboards go all the way to the wall instead of that wire shelving unit.  That kitchen is not an $829,000 kitchen.  Neither is the rest of the house.  At first glance it might be but then you take a closer look...

The wall between the dining room and the kitchen is pointless.  

The dining room needs a window or doors out to the back.

It is unfortunate that they didn't make the hardwood go all the way through because it would give the house a feeling of flow instead of chopping up the front and the back of the house.  And the dining room feels cold.  Maybe that is just the lack of windows...

There is no 'working' fireplace but I guess you could put candles in that hole in the wall in the living room.

The whole house has popcorn ceilings....

They should have just listed it at $749,000 again and then they probably would get $829,000 because of the location.  

Now, I think they will just get $749,000.
