74 Elm Avenue - ROSEDALE

 Last April, I posted this house at 74 Elm Avenue.

This is what it looked like (click the link above to see the interior photos)...

It was a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom house on a 34.5 x 124 foot lot in South Rosedale.

It was listed at $1,649,000.  I thought it was $100,000 over.  And guess what!  It sold for $1,550,000.

It has been gutted and a big addition was added at the back.

But, for some weird reason, this house is still 3 bedrooms.

Actually, it's 3+1 bedrooms, but it has 6 bathrooms(?).

I can't tell if I like that island.  Actually, just looked at the view from the family room, nope, don't like it.  I find it a little dinky for the space.  And I am not a fan of those cabinets on the wall on either side of the fan.  I really would have preferred either open shelving or no shelving there.  But then it would be all fan...

And on this lot, with a small pea gravel yard (why!), I don't really get those windows.  At the house at 44 Walker Avenue in Summerhill that has a huge, lush back yard, sure.  But here?  Where it looks at the back of another house?  Don't really get it.

The basement?  It's big, it's open, it's a lot of concrete.  

And I am not commenting on the Dirty Dancing thing.  Dirty Dancing makes me crazy.

So....what is this still 3 bedroom house listed at, you ask?

$2,900,000.

I think it is too high but it is hard to tell having not seen the bedrooms or bathrooms.

But still.  It's too high.
