This house at 161 Douglas Drive in North Rosedale has been listed for a while.

It was first listed on October 21.  I posted it on October 29.

It is a 6+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom house on a 45 x 118.37 foot lot.

It could definitely use some work, but for a lot this size, on this street, in this neighbourhood...

I was really surprised that it hadn't sold.

Though readers pointed out the lack of symmetry (which is something I am usually into), there was something about this house that I thought was great.  

Here is a shot of the Google streetview which I think shows it better...

Firstly, I never noticed that mailbox.  WHAT is that!?!

But as for symmetry, I think it could be fixed by putting the downspout on the right side of the house.

Kind of like the neighbour with a similar lack of symmetry...

And though the floor plan was kind of a mess, I thought this was a good opportunity to get into this neighbourhood and to live in the house as is for a while until you could pay to do the needed renos.

Guess either the symmetry issue or the amount of renos were just too much.

This house was first listed at $2,459,000.

It didn't sell and the price was dropped a couple weeks later to $2,350,000.

Though I thought it was a good opportunity, I thought it would have another drop.  It did.

The price was dropped in January to $2,195,000.

It just sold...

For $2,025,000.

Someone got a deal here.
