If it weren't for that stair situation in the living room/dining room of this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house on a 25 x 140 foot lot in Wychwood, I think I would really like it.

It needs a fair amount of updating and another washroom, but it could be great.

It's just too bad about those stairs.  For me, it's a HUGE deal breaker before the front door is even all the way open.

And at $1,199,000?

I don't care how much potential it has, the location, the great yard....

I couldn't do it for that price AT ALL.

But I could see someone loving it.

When you consider that the slightly narrower 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom house that I posted earlier today at 34 Winnett Avenue in Humewood recently sold for $935,000, can this sell for asking if it finds a buyer that loves the stairs?

This is a good house.  It could be move right in or you could spend $300,000 fixing it up.

Is it a $1,500,000+ house when it is done?

The way this neighbourhood is going, probably.

And if the 4+1 bedroom, 4 bathroom semi at 72 Tyrell Avenue can sell for $1,150,000 (I still can't believe it)...

Then yes, this can most definitely sell, once fixed up, for $1,500,000.

I am just REALLY not into those stairs.

If $1.5 were my budget for this area and I was up for a reno, the gutter on a 35.5 x 133 foot at 84 Ilford Avenue that sold for $1,000,000 a little over a year ago would have been it.

I just can't with those stairs.
