Last week, I posted this 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom semi on an 18.33 x 107 foot lot at 71 Greenwood Avenue in Leslieville.

It was a good looking house on the outside, and charming on the inside.

But it had a roof that looked like it needed work, a dated kitchen,  it was on a pretty busy street...

And it had this in the backyard...

A pool on this lot?

One reader compared it to Homer's car...

Once I heard the word 'car'...

I couldn't get this out of my mind...

But it looks like that pool only helped sell this place.

This house was listed at $749,900.  Even though I wasn't into the pool, I thought this would sell for $789,000.

It didn't go over ask, but it did sell after only one day on the market, the same day that I posted it...

For $745,000.
