428 Wellesley Street East - CABBAGETOWN

Here is some competition for the house at 418 Wellesley Street East!

That house was a full gut and flip.  This house wasn't gutted but it has had some work done.

Here are the pictures from the last time it was listed in 2008 for $649,000...

So it looks like they have changed the floors.  I REALLY like the look and colour of the floors they have gone with...

But I don't love the colour with the kitchen.  Perhaps if the cabinets were painted like the kitchen at 54 Stanley Terrace but less minty (or maybe I like the mint...I can't decide)...

Nothing has changed in the bathroom either except the boards were painted.  It makes a HUGE difference though.

This is a really good house.

It is 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms with a finished basement with 1 parking spot on a 15.58 x 87.25 foot lot but there is no fireplace.

The house at 418 is also 3 bedrooms but has 4 bedrooms and everything is brand new with a fireplace.  It is listed at $1,049,000.

This house is listed at $849,000.

Sure, it isn't as fancy or done but it is cute.  

Where did they get that gate with the cat cut-out?

Though 418 is a good house, this house will probably sell first.  They both have the same needs crossed off.  This house is just in a better price point.

But it will probably sell closer to $899,000.  Maybe even $919,000!

NOTE:  Thanks to Vlad for pointing out the Pellegrino I forgot to mention (I think there is another house I posted this week that also had it but I forgot to mention)!

Seriously, who drinks this much Pellegrino?  And why not put 5 bottles of Heineken on the counter instead!?!  Really, what's the difference?
