53 Elm Avenue - ROSEDALE

This is a beautiful old semi in South Rosedale.

It is 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms on a 50 x 129 foot lot with a garage and parking for 3 cars.

It has been featured in Canadian House and Home March 2012 Colourful Issue (see the video here).

Here is a picture of the living room from that issue...

I've got to say, I kind of like the purple! And the pink dining room! And the wallpaper in the master bedroom!!!!!

I guess they thought it was too much for buyers and painted everything white.

According to the listing, this house was renovated by Joe Brennan but I don't think Joe Brennan (who is behind the house at 314 Palmerston Boulevard that is still for sale!) did that washroom on the third floor.

Actually, I can't really tell if the any of those washrooms are new.

But the rest of the house is done.

I love that there is a huge family room off the kitchen but is only one person allowed to watch that tv at a time!?! That is NOT right.

This house is listed at $2,998,000.

And if I had a choice, it would definitely be this house over the house across the street at 50 Elm that sold for $4,995,000 last February....even if that one is detached.

But the basement in this house is only partially finished which probably means there is no movie theatre like at 50 Elm.

This house is beautiful. It has lots of bedrooms and the backyard is big and south facing.

But it is a busy street. It might not sell for listing but it will sell close.

I'm thinking closer to $2,775,000.
