If you liked the house at 15 Glengrove Avenue West that sold for $4,260,000, then you might be into this house as well.

Personally, I am not into the style and find it dated and dark.  But it could be amazing with work.

It is 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms on a 100 x 135 foot lot.

It is listed at $4,295,000.

It was first listed in February for $4,695,000 until they dropped the price at the end of April.

Why did 15 Glengrove sell quickly and this didn't?

Well, I think the location isn't as good.  It is a dead end street but there aren't a lot of houses on it.  It's kind of isolated (though some might like that).

And though I think they both need work, this could use a more updating.

For example, what is THIS!?!

I have never seen anything like it.

 But I really like the exposed stone in this house, especially on that porch.

It reminds me of the porch in the house at 289 Pinehurst Road in Paris, Ontario.

This is a grand home and could be AMAZING.  I just think it is overpriced.

I think it will see another price drop before it sells.  Unless they are willing to take a mid to high offer in the $3s.

But imagine if this coach house was still part of the property...

THEN it would have gone for $4.6.

But as is, I think it is still a little high at $4.3.

UPDATE:  Thanks to the reader for commenting about the Glengrove Substation at the corner of this street and Yonge Street.  It is called 'The Castle' and until today, I had no idea this was a substation...

 How did I not know this!?!  The 3 Hydro trucks out front might have been a give away!

But like Rathnelly and parts of Sumemrhill and Rosedale, two of the most expensives neighbourhoods in Toronto, that are also near substations, some undisguised, I don't think this should effect the price TOO much.
