14 Sparkhall Avenue - RIVERDALE

This is a 4+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom house on a 25 x 99 foot lot at 14 Sparkhall Avenue in Riverdale.

It is the house that I posted last September when it was a 5 bedroom, 1 bathroom house and it looked like this...

And inside, it looked like this...

So, it needed work.

Well, a year later, it's back on the market and it has been gutted.

Overall, it's a great house, but I am not into the floors even though I am getting into dark floors again, and I am not loving the stairs and glass wall.   And I don't get that office on the second floor.  It feels like a waste of space.

But other than that, the layout is good and I do like the kitchen.

And I like the way they kept one of the garage spots open so it could be used as a covered outdoor area.

Last September, it sold for $1,168,000.

After a full gut, an addition (if that's what you call a squared off roof), a lowered basement (I think), and a new garage...

 It is now back on the market for...

$2,190,000.

Not sure this was a million dollar reno...

But neither was the reno at 19 Edgewood Crescent in Rosedale...

That is listed at $2,395,000.

So, even though these houses are for 2 different buyers... 

Considering both are overpriced, which one do you think is selling first?

I'm going with this one, but maybe closer to $2,035,000.  That glass wall and the railing are kind of killing it for me...

But someone's going to love it!
