In January 2013, I posted this 4+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom house on a 25 x 110 foot lot at 74 Brookdale Avenue in Bedford Park.

It had been listed since November 2012.

It's a really well done house from top to bottom, and according to the streetview, it was done by this contractor...

Some minor things in the house have changed, but most of the house has remained the same.  

The milk lights from the kitchen have been replaced and the majority of that wine cellar that didn't make sense to me has been removed and replaced with a tv.  

They kept the carrera marble island and countertops.  

But if you really wanted a couch facing the tv, you could get a smaller island.  Or you could set it up like the house at 64 Roxborough Drive where the couch goes right up to the counter. 

 Not my favourite, but it works if you want a couch.

The upstairs is nice, but has an oddly long corridor.  The master bedroom has stayed the same, but the other bedrooms have been painted...VERY bright colours.

They removed the beadboard in the second floor bathroom and added a shower (with tile I am not loving).

The basement has been painted an odd colour with sliding doors covering those open shelves that I really liked.

But overall, this was a good house then and it is still a good house.

In November 2012, this house was listed at $1,689,000.  It didn't sell and when I posted it in January 2013, it had dropped to $1,599,000.

It thought it would sell for $1.5.  It sold for $1,565,000.

At the end of September of this year, it was back on the market for $1,749,000.  It took almost a month, but the house finally sold again for...

$1,685.000.
