24 Caroline Avenue - LESLIEVILLE
This is a 3+1 bedroom, 3 bathroom semi on a 16.4 x 103.5 foot lot in Leslieville. It is clearly a flip as it was renovated 'with permits' in 2012. This is what it looked like 3 years ago...
It's a whole new house!
I wouldn't say the location is ideal being so close to Eastern and beside an empty lot and a laneway but they have done a good job with the flip.
The house feels large and I like the style of the kitchen but I am not crazy about the oven and the fridge being right beside each other. The bedrooms are a good size and the whole house is very bright. I like the style of the washrooms. Those Godmorgon sinks must be making IKEA a lot of money!
The backyard is a good size with lots of sun (because there are no trees around) and there is a parking spot.
This house is listed at $699,000. Too much? Probably.
Considering that this house at 14 Berkshire located 2 streets over just sold for $570,00, I don't think this house could get asking. Berkshire was smaller and not as new but it was more charming. And though it was close to Eastern as well, the location was a bit better. No empty lots or laneways right beside it...
These pictures are from a different house down the street at 66 Caroline that was listed at $619,000 a year ago...
It is also charming. It is very differerent than this house but an interesting comparison of a neighbour with 3 bedrooms. I am not sure if it had parking or a finished basement like this house though. And I am not certain of the selling price.
I think this house will sell for closer to $649,000, if not a little less. If you are into this style, it's a good house but that location....
(even if those empty lots are being converted to condos, you have to live beside the construction).
