14 Garnock Avenue - RIVERDALE
This house looks very similar to the house at 41 Bertmount Avenue in Leslieville that I just posted.
Except this house is located steps to the Danforth in Riverdale.
It is on a slightly bigger 20 x 101 foot lot, it has an extra bedroom on the third floor giving it 4 bedrooms, and like Bertmount, there are only 2 bathrooms.
But it has parking for 2 cars.
It was listed 3 years ago. It was first listed in April 2010 for $699,000 but I guess they weren't happy with want they got so they raised the price a week later to $729,900.
From the sounds of the listing...
Riverdale 2-1/2 Storey Sun Filled Home! Located On One Of The Most Desirable Streets In Riverdale. Open Concept Living Rm & Dining Rm With Hardwood Flrs. Great Size For A Kitchen. This Home Also Has Four Bed Rms All With Hardwood Flooring And Closets. The Third Storey Is 17X12. Great Potential For A Master Retreat. Location Is Incredible. Steps To The Danforth And Withrow Park! Franklin School And More! You Will Not Be Disappointed With The Potential!****
It needed work.
And according to the CURRENT listing...
The House Has Been Gutted And Totally Redone Including Triple Glaze Windows, Roof, Wiring, Hardwood Floors, Polished Concrete Counters, Basement Lowered, Heated Bathroom Floor, Etc..
Since they have used the term 'gutted', I am assuming they went back to the studs but if they bought at the 2010 asking price and did all that work, I don't understand the new price.
This house is now listed at $887,500.
If this house was actually gutted with everything redone, they must want a bidding war because that price won't cover the reno costs of a full gut.
Well, according to the listing site, this house has sold.
So, did they get a bidding war?
The fact that it is 4 bedrooms is great but it is still only 2 bathrooms.
But it is done and it shows a LOT better in the video tour.
This house will go over asking.
Though $945,000 is probably more of what they had in mind, I am thinking it went closer to $915,000.
It's that 2 bathroom thing.
