512 Fairlawn Avenue - LEDBURY PARK (UPDATE)
Even though this is a new build, I like this 4+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom house that is on a 40 x 115 foot lot in the heart of Ledbury Park.
I like the simplicity of the front. Unfortunately, the back is soooo simple that it looks like all it's missing is some barbed wire fencing to run along the roof to keep the prisoners in...
Otherwise, as far as new builds go, it is pretty good.
I like the size of the living room and dining room. They are cozy without being too small but it is too bad there isn't a fireplace. The kitchen is good and I like how the family room is kind of separate. I just wish it wasn't so open to the front door.
The bedrooms are a good size with large bathrooms. I don't really get the red velvet bedspread with matching curtains but those aren't staying.
The basement is large with high ceilings and the backyard isn't huge but it is a good size. It needs a better fence though as it is completely open to Ledbury Park.
It is listed at $1,895,000.
And since it has been listed since November at the same price, I think it is probably too high. (UPDATE: the agent has contacted me and pointed out that this house has not been listed since November. It was on the market in November but for only 3 days. So...it hasn't been sitting not selling for 2 months but it is still a little expensive.)
But it is a better house for the price of the house of house at 70A Melrose that was originally listed for $1,898,000!
I suppose that house has dropped its price and will need to drop some more before it sells but it is closer to Yonge (if that is what you want).
But this house is in a great family area, the house itself is soooo much better. It's just too bad about that back yard fence and the feeling like the roof is missing some barbed wire.
Maybe $1,795,000.
