AND IT WENT FOR - 181 Crescent Road - ROSEDALE

In April, I posted

this 6+1 bedroom, 7 bathroom house with a 2 car garage on a 50 x 254.90 foot lot at 181 Crescent Road in Rosedale

.

It was a beautiful old house that had been fully restored and renovated by Colette Volk of

Colette Volk Design

.

And considering she lived in a house in Chaplin Estates when this video done of her house for

Canadian House and Home

 in 2014...

I assumed it was a flip.  But it was a very good flip.

Some aspects of the design weren't for everyone, but it was a really good mix of modern and orginal charm.

In 2012, I had thought it sold for around $3.1.  A reader (who apparently confirmed it with their agent) says it sold for $2.6.  After the reno, it was listed at $5,875,000 in April 2016.

That's a big jump no matter how much work was done to it.  Not to mention, it was on a busy corner and it was located in front of this bus stop...

It didn't sell and

the price was dropped in June to $5,295,000

.

I thought that was a much better price.

It took another month, but this house finally

sold

 yesterday...

For $5,200,000.

Or exactly 2 times the amount it sold for in 2012.
