SOLD - 212 Pape Avenue - LESLIEVILLE
This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom rowhouse was listed for 5 days.
It is located across the street from another 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house that I posted at 209 Pape Avenue.
That house was listed in July for $769,900. It sold 9 days later for $765,000.
It wasn't as large as this house but it had an updated kitchen, the basement was done, and the backyard was really nice.
The kitchen in this house is big but a little old. The basement isn't finished and there are no photos of the yard so that might be in rough shape (the listing says it is landscaped).
But the lot is 15 x 120 feet so the yard is probably a good size and there is a parking spot. The third floor could be renovated and the basement could be completed. The kitchen is large and with that office in the back, if it was opened up, this could be a good kitchen with a family room.
Speaking of that office....where do those stairs go? I don't get it.
The upstairs has large rooms and the ceiling height is really good.
This house was listed at $699,900. It had last been listed in 2010 for $575,000.
It just sold for $757,500.
If the owners paid ask in 2010, considering that it doesn't look like they did much work (I am guessing that the bathroom isn't new), this is a pretty good increase! The listing did say that it was 'Newly Painted In Designer Colours' though.
But is Oxford White considered a designer colour?
This house could use a new kitchen but there is room to create even more space in the basement and third floor. My guess is they didn't pay ask in 2010. There is just so much potential.
But if they did pay ask and they got almost 30% more than they paid just 2 years ago......
It just goes to show you what a little paint can do!
