89 Alcorn Avenue - SUMMERHILL

This is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom row house on a 13 x 79 foot lot at 89 Alcorn Avenue.

And if it looks familiar, it's because I posted it the last time it was for sale in March 2012.

It was a 3 bedroom (sort of), 2 bathroom house with an unfinished basement and the asking price was $739,000.

At the time, there wasn't a lot on the market in the neighbourhood, and there was nothing with a price basically below $1,000,000.

It sold for $859,000.

It is now on the market again and they have done a LOT of work.

The floor plan on the first floor has changed.  They put the kitchen at the back which is probably where it was originally located.  And they changed the second floor as well by getting rid of that open bedroom, moving the washroom there and creating a walk-in closet.

And they finished the basement.

Or should I say 'Man Cave'? Yes, that term is up there with 'grass roots' as one of my most hated terms...but this house is very feminine upstairs and I kind of get it.  Kind of.

They also did work on the backyard.  Basically, all of it.

It is now on the market for $1,295,000.

It's probably a little high, and I can see it selling closer to $1,235,000.

But they did do a great job on the reno.

P.S.  I didn't notice it in 2012, but it's weird to me how the front window is rounded on the outside and square on the inside.  It's kind of weird, right?
