18 Colgate Avenue - LESLIEVILLE
Hmmm.
This place is interesting.
It is a 2+1 bedroom, 2 bathroom semi on a 14 x 59.92 foot lot in Leslieville.
And I have no idea what the thought was on this layout.
It looks like the first floor has had a very recent reno with a new front door foyer, new floors, and new bannisters (that are clearly not meant for kids). But the second floor and the basement have not been touched.
Speaking of the basement....
The first floor is open to the basement which is where the kitchen is located!
And it is a bit of a mess. Is this a desktop hard drive sitting on the countertop?
Not to mention that that fridge opens the wrong way.
This layout, if you are a family, makes no sense at all. But considering that one of the 'bedrooms' has a ladder in the middle of it going up to a roof top deck that is not enclosed and opens straight to the bare roof...
I'm thinking this house was never meant to be for a family anyhow. At least not with this layout.
But as the listing says...
Just Waiting For Your Imagination To Re-Configure Or Love As-Is
So....I guess I am not alone thinking that this layout is messed up.
This house is listed at $689,000.
If you like the kitchen in the basement, this isn't a terrible deal. You could redo the kitchen and the bathroom for not a ton of money. But I am thinking this...
Might be more of a problem than just some character.
And considering that the move right in house at 53 Boulton Avenue sold for just $7,000 more than this asking price...
I'm thinking we will see a price drop or 2.
