This is a 5+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom house on a 50.08 x 122 foot lot in South Rosedale.

It has been listed for a while.

The last time I can see that it was listed was in 2007 for $2,100,000.

It is now listed at $3,150,000.

There is something about it that makes me feel like the people haven't lived here for long though.  I am not suggesting this is a flip though it has been recently renovated.  There is clearly a big family living here, but I wonder for how long?

Or maybe it is just the house.  It is a really great reno and it seems to function well for a family.  And even though the living room style kind reminds me of the house at 2 Castle Frank Road that is featured in this month's issue of Canadian House and Home...

There is just something not very exciting about it.

Also, I really wish they had added a bathtub in that third floor bathroom instead of the desk and weird bench thing.

But otherwise, this is a big, move right in house with lots of parking and a really solid reno (but the basement doesn't seem to have very high ceilings).

So, why hasn't it sold?

Obviously, this is a weird price range right now as the beautiful, old Rosedale home at 161 Crescent Road that I thought would sell over has had price drops and is still on the market.

If I were in the market for a $3.1 million house right now, that Crescent Road would definitely be my first choice.  It just has so much more character.

But they are both really good houses.

I am just getting more of a $2,875,000 feel from this house.  Even if it is detached.

But depending on the basement ceiling height, maybe a little higher.
