56 Brunswick Avenue - HARBORD VILLAGE
This is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom semi on a 21 x 137 foot lot just north of College at 56 Brunswick Avenue.
It's 2 doors down from the house at 52 Brunswick Avenue that reminded me of the former home of J. Crew Creative Director, Jenna Lyons that I thought was a deal 2 years ago at $1,049,000.
This is basically the same house but without a renovated kitchen and a different paint palette. This house is basically all white which looks great. It just needs a rug or 2 and a little more fun stuff (I refuse to say 'whimsy') going on.
But if there was some more going on, kind of like designer Samantha Sacks former Riverdale home at 75 Victor Avenue...
Or a living room like this from her website...
Then I would be more into it.
Though what's going on is nice (hello staging furniture!), the house is so bright that I feel like it needs a little more colour.
And the ceilings! Those are amazing.
There is a walk-out from the basement (I can't tell if it is finished or not), the backyard isn't massive but there is a garage. Sure, it looks like it is falling apart, but it's there....
The roof doesn't look like it is in great shape, the floors are looking like they have seen the end of their day, the kitchen is run down, the windows look like they are only single pane...
It is listed at $1,179,000.
Actually, there is something about this place that reminds me a lot of the semi at 212 Crawford Street in Trinity-Bellwods that was listed at $1,499,000 and sold for $1,679,000.
This house isn't in Trinity-Bellwods but it is in an area that is getting more action. And at some point, probably sooner than later, this house needs work, but it is a great house with a ton of potential.
This will sell fast.
And probably closer to $1,285,000...maybe $1,320,000.
