Five days ago, I posted this 3+1 bedroom, 4 bathroom semi with 2 parking spots on an 18 x 177 foot lot at 25 Austin Avenue in the north part of Leslieville.

I had mentioned it before in the post for the house across the street at 24 Austin Avenue...

That needed some work but was charming and was on a 49.7 x 130.11 foot lot.  It sold for $1,350,000.

When I posted that house in May, here is what this house looked like..

It was a bit of a mess.

Now?  It's great.

Most readers weren't a fan of the front porch which I didn't find that offensive, and I assume it isn't as oppressive in person.

Inside, it was great.  As a reader pointed out, the stairs had been turned so that a bathroom and coat closet could be added.  I loved the floors.  It was bright.  The kitchen was large and there was a space at the back for a small family room (or mudroom as a reader suggested).  The basement was good.

Basically, they did a great job.

It was listed in August 2014 for $499,000.  After the flip, it was listed at $999,900.

Based on the location being in the north part of Leslieville, I thought it would sell for $1,065,000...maybe a bit more.

It sold in 6 days...

For $1,275,000.
