781 Craven Road - GREENWOOD-COXWELL
This house is.....ummm...
Interesting.
It is a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom detached house on a 16.37 x 73 foot lot at 781 Craven Road in Greenwood-Coxwell.
It's a house that used to look like this...
When it was apparently a drug lab.
As the listing says, it was done by architect Andrew Reeves of LineBox Studios who was also the architect behind the house at 11 Barfield Avenue in East York...
That I wasn't super crazy about at the time. It was cold (but that was probably just the staging).
And this place, to many, could seem cold as well, but I kind of like it.
It's definitely not for everyone but if you are single and are good with sleeping on this murphy bed....
And are good with cooking in this kitchen...
That looks like this when in use...
It's great.
In 2012, 2 years after completion, it was featured the Globe and Mail. According to that article, the cost to build the house with the cost of the land was $385,000.
But according to the architect's own blog about the construction, the final cost was actually $425,000.
It is now listed at $699,000.
If this is your style and you are looking for a condo alternative, this is a great option. It's airy, it's modern, and it has a nice outdoor space (even with the pea gravel!).
And when the lot up the street at 1017 Craven Road...
Sold for $410,000 a year ago (granted, it was a wider 25 foot lot).
Then this will probably sell close to list, if not over.
But I should point out that instead of a parking spot, there is this...
A bike rack!!!
Seriously. A BIKE RACK!
It's a bike rack and it has its own photo in the listing!!!!!
(thanks to the reader who sent in the listing!)
