AND IT WENT FOR - 285 Withrow Avenue - BLAKE-JONES

Last week, I posted this 3+1 bedroom, 3 bathroom semi on a 17.92 x 137.99 foot lot at 285 Withrow Avenue on the east side of Pape in the Blake-Jones neighbourhood.

It was a good house that could easily be converted into a 4 bedroom house.  

And it seems that they used a LOT of pillows to distract from the fact that though this house is basically in Riverdale, it is not in the sought after Riverdale school district.

It was listed at $799,000.  

Because of the school district and the fact that there was no parking, I thought this place would sell closer to $865,000.

This house sold in 5 days...

For $952,500.

Maybe they threw in the pillows...

Or it was the Fruit Loops...

Or maybe it was just, as a lot of readers pointed out, that this school disctrict is improving.  As one reader put it...

'It's a matter of time before you see the score climbing.'

Along with the cost of the houses!
