308 1/2 Wellesley Street East - CABBAGETOWN

This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom laneway house with a 2 car garage and parking for 2 more on a 24.02 x 146.23 foot lot at 308 1/2 Wellesley Street East.

Given the address and the fact that this used to be a coach house, my guess is that it used to be the coach house for this house...

At 308 Wellesley Avenue (just realized...did that ever sell?).

So it would be located down this lane...

 Between the house above and the house at 306 Wellesley Street East...

And I really like it.

It's not something I would typically go for with the wood colour and the tiled kitchen/dining room...

Not to mention being a laneway...

But it is a laneway with only one house, which is why this...

The openess (is that a word?) to the lane, doesn't bug me as much as it would otherwise.

And I don't really love that the front door opens right into the living room...

But there is a side door that could be used as the main door instead...

According to the listing, this house was done by an architect and designer duo.  I am not sure if that means that they live there too, but there is some interesting art like this...

 And I want to see this...

Something about this house reminds me of a cross between the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom laneway house at 7 Millington Street...

That sold for $1,380,000.

And the 2+1 bedroom, 3 bathroom cottage at 5 Wellesley Cottages...

That sold for $1,545,000.

This house is listed at $1,399,000.

Considering this house has a 1 more bedroom than the houses above plus a double car garage...

I'm thinking it will sell over asking and somewhere closer to the Wellesley Cottages price.

Perhaps somewhere around $1,599,000...maybe more.

There is Perrier...

AND a Kitchen Aid mixer...
