95 Ilford Avenue - WYCHWOOD/HILLCREST
In March 2012, I posted 2 houses that looked really similar on the outside and asked the question, 'Which one would you buy?'.
One house was a semi at 60 Manning Avenue in Trinity-Bellwoods...
And the other was this house 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom house on a 23 x 80 foot at 95 Ilford Avenue...
Both had been listed 3 times within the last year.
Manning was listed at $999,500.
95 Ilford had been listed at $1,295,000 in May 2011. The price was dropped in September 2011 to $1,195,000.
When I posted it in March 2012, the asking price was $1,144,000.
It's on the market again.
As you can see from this video of one of the first listings...
The furniture is the same now...
As it was then...
So, I guess they never sold.
Perhaps it is because the price was too high...
Or the baby that uses the red high chair made them change their minds and decide to stay.
Either way, it's on the market again.
The asking price is $1,295,000.
SO.....
If you were in the market for a 3 bedroom in Hillcrest/Wychwood...
Which house would you buy?
This house...
Or the other detached 3+1 bedroom, 3 bathroom house at 85 Ilford Avenue...
That just dropped its price to $1,495,000.
Though I don't love everything about it...
I'm going with this one.
Not only does that $200,000 price difference allow you to redo the whole first floor so you can get rid of the garage (if you really wanted to) and open up the whole first floor to have more living space...
You also get to see this everytime you leave your house...
