32 Edgewood Crescent - ROSEDALE *
If this house looks familiar, there are 2 reasons.
1. I posted it 2 years ago in July.
2. It is the house in the first season of Sarah Richardson's show 'Sarah's House'.
And besides a few furniture changes and some new paint, this is pretty much the exact same house, even the same curtains (not included in this listing) and pea gravel!
It is a 5+1 bedroom, 3 bathroom house on a 33 x 86 foot lot.
It is a lot of house on a not very deep lot but the backyard is full of trees. Thing is, you need to be good with the CP Rail train tracks in the backyard (and that pea gravel that makes me nuts!).
But if that doesn't bother you, you have a recently reno'd house with lots of bedrooms, a basement family room, and mud room.
When Sarah completed the reno, it was 2007. The house was listed at $1,169,000 and I think it sold for $1,295,000 (but I think it came with the furniture)
Two years ago, the listing price was $1,329,000.
Now, the price is $1,447,000.
And thank you to the readers below for pointing out that I completely effed up my calculations, but basically what I was trying to say is that between Land Transfer taxes and agent fees, whenever they are paid, at this price, they are basically breaking even if they bought in 2011 for list!*
So.......though it seems like a big increase in only 2 years, it kind of makes sense.
But is there someone willing to buy a house on the train tracks for $1.5 million? Well, a gutter that also sits right on the tracks just one street over recently sold for $950,000...
And when the trains aren't going by, you do have a really great view of the trees....
Since this house sits on the tracks, it might not sell right away but I do think it will sell at ask once it does.
And if there is someone out there who really LIKES the trains, this could sell for $1,510,000!!
How much does sod cost though? Because I would want to include that in the price
*Correction: to reflect my completely f-ck up in doing real estate math.
