Hi.

Welcome to the MASH where we gossip about current real estate listings.

Enjoy!

82 Shaftesbury Avenue - SUMMERHILL

82 Shaftesbury Avenue - SUMMERHILL

This is a 4+1 (cough, cough) bedroom, 4 bathroom semi on a 19.42 x 90 foot lot at 82 Shaftesbury Avenue in Summerhill.

And I don't get it.

I don't understand what is going on with the living room and the whatever room is beside it.  Is that a bathroom in the middle?  Why?  It kind of makes the 2 rooms useless...or at least super cramped.

Then there is the kitchen.  It's huge.  And it has great counters.  But it feels really flippish. 

Actually, the whole house is one big flip.  

And it doesn't seem like any storey has been done with actual day to day living in mind (I wish there was a floor plan!).

The listing says it is 4+1 bedrooms, but it is really a 3 bedroom house with a third floor office that is only accessible through the master....

Which I suppose is nice for the master bedroom, but it means one less bedroom.

And there essentially is no backyard...

Just a lot of parking.

The asking price is $1,699,000.

Sure, this is Summerhill where a smaller semi a few steps away at

17 Ottawa Street

that was listed 2 years ago

sold for $1,400,000

...

And there is

Pellegrino

(and artichokes)...

And

lemons

...

But the house on Ottawa made sense from a day to day living perspective.

And this is not a $1.7 million shower system...

So, yeah.

This house...at $1.7 million...

I just don't get it.
