79 Gilmour Avenue - HIGH PARK NORTH

This is a 4+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom house on a 20 x 119.17 foot lot at 79 Gilmour Avenue just south of Annette in High Park.

It's a flip that was listed at $779,000 about a year ago when it looked like this...

So, a HUGE improvement.

Though it isn't a huge house, the layout is really good.

The storage in the basement is kind of in a weird location and I wish the door to the first floor bathroom was adjacent to the stairs and not adjacent to the living room. Plus, I think the family room tv would work better on the opposite wall with a built-in bookcase/closet/tv area extending from the white wall or cabinets. Then you would have storage for coats coming from the laneway parking and you could put in an 'L' shape couch on the wall of black cabinets.

But overall, it's a good house with a good layout.

I like that the kitchen is open but still kind of separate from the living room and dining room. And they have worked in some storage at the front door.

Speaking of the kitchen, are those cabinets black or really dark brown?

Though I like black, it feels a little dark to me (but could easily be painted white to match the opposite wall), but it is a well laid out kitchen with lots of storage.

The bedrooms on the third floor aren't huge, but there is a bathroom up there and the second floor bedroom has an ensuite.

There is a nice backyard and there are 2 (or more like 1 and a half) parking spots...

With a tree that seems like it could fall on the cars anyday...
