SOLD - 265 Markham Street - LITTLE ITALY

This is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom triplex semi on a 19.5 x 128 foot lot with a 2 car garage at 265 Markham Street in Little Italy.

When I first saw the listing, I thought of the house at 65 Brookfield Street in Beaconsfield Village...

That was listed at $749,900 this past summer.

It was a 3 bedrooms, 3 bathroom single family home on a similar 16.67 x 125 foot lot with a 1 car garage.

Like the house down the street at 49 Brookfield Street that used to look like this...

And was converted into a house that looked like this...

I thought that though that house didn't necessarily need it, that house would get a full gut.

The house at 65 Brookfield sold for $917,700 in August 2014.

The fully renovated house at 49 Brookfield sold for $1,265,000 2 years earlier in March 2012.

This house was listed at $799,900.

Considering that it is larger than the house at 65 Brookfield and has a 2 car garage versus a 1 car...

That price was probably a little low.

But one of the '5' bedrooms looked like this...

The kitchen looked like this...

(fine but not amazing)

And the basement bathroom looked like this...

Not to mention that some of that hardwood seems to be laminate...

So...I thought this would be a gutter back to a family home.

And with that amount of work, the house would sell higher than ask, but closer to $950,000.

It sold in 6 days...

For $1,128,000.

Or $137,000 less than the fully done house at 49 Brookfield.

P.S.  Wonder who Tony is...
