At first glance, this 4+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom house on a 25 x 150 foot lot with a garage and parking at 66 St Germain Avenue could be mistaken for a Grey House...

But the interior isn't grey everything so there is no way this is a Grey House.

Actually, other than the floors, I kind of love this place.

The staging is terrific.  And in case you are wondering if this is in fact staging, I think this makes it clear that it is...

Because that looks like a price tag on the furniture.

The house is bright, probably a little loud with the kitchen opening up to the second floor, but for the most part, I like how it is done (I just don't get that off centred closet in the bedroom).

I am pretty sure most of the tile is from CeraGres, a Montreal based tile company which is also a nice touch....

But I am not sure I would have chosen to go with the 'RECYCLING' tile right above the toilet...

Oh, and I am not crazy about the light fixture above the bathtub.

Otherwise, I like it.

But considering that it was listed since December when it was a House of the Week on blogTO, and only sold last week, it clearly wasn't for everyone.

Maybe it was the front of the house balcony that I JUST DON'T GET.  Or the open kitchen, or the price....

It was listed at $2,049,000.

It took over 5 weeks, but this house finally sold just under 2 weeks ago...

For $1,995,000.
