SOLD - 50 Rose Avenue - ST. JAMESTOWN
About a month ago, a reader (thanks B!) sent the listing in for this beautiful semi at 50 Rose Avenue in Cabbagetown.
The second I saw it, I thought of the old home of Jenna Lyons, J. Crew's Creative Director...
It also made me think of Uma Thurman's old NYC townhouse...
Just like the house at 52 Brunswick Avenue in the South Annex, the house at 358 Sumach Street in Cabbagetown, and the house at 370 Berkeley Street which is located on the 'wrong' side of Parliament to be considered true Cabbagetown...
This house had a LOT of potential.
If you could get past the drab colours of the walls and decor, this is an incredible house with 3,628 square feet above grade.
Currently, it is a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom duplex on a 26.71 x 104 foot lot with not my most favourite reno upstairs....
Umm, this is the ceiling fan...
But both units are large and could be great as is (with new paint).
As a single family home though, this place could be amazing.
It was listed at $1,699,900.
After the reader sent it in, I was going to post it but, for some reason, I thought it was delisted after being on the market for a few weeks. Apparently I was wrong.
This house has been on the market for over a month.
It has finally sold...
For $1,595,000.
In NYC real estate terms, that's pennies (Uma Thurman's house was listed at $14,200,000).
In Toronto real estate terms, this is a good buy...
Even if it is on the 'wrong' side of Parliament with this as the view out the front door...
