SOLD - 453 Euclid Avenue - PALMERSTON

This is a 3+1 bedroom, 3 bathroom semi with 2 parking spots on a 20.5 x 127 foot lot at 453 Euclid Avenue in Palmerston.

And the second I saw those beams, the staircase, and the red exposed brick...

I knew it was done by the Barn Door Flippers, the same people who flipped the house at 196 Grace Street that I posted in July 2012...

I didn't love it.  It was initially listed at $1,549,000 and, after at least 4 price drops, it eventually sold for $1,210,000.

And they were behind the house at 138 Simpson Avenue that was listed in May 2013...

It was listed at $1,199,000.  After at least one price drop, it sold for $1,075,000.

They were also behind the house at 65 Madison Avenue that was listed in September 2013...

It was listed at $2,390,000.  I'm not sure how much it sold for.

And then there was the house at 455 Euclid Avenue...

Unlike the other Barn Door flips, I kind of liked this one.  They add some white to the kitchen with the white island and the furniture made a huge difference (not sure if it was staged or if someone had been living there for a few years because from the looks of the street view, the reno was done by 2011.

It was listed at $1,985,000.  It sold in 2 days for $2,025,000.

Now this house that is not attached but is located right beside the house at 455 Euclid Avenue was put on the market a little over a week ago.

And it is my favourite so far.  I prefer the lighter floors and the kitchen is white with a concrete counter and no uppers.  They still used barn doors for the closets which I don't love and there is a claw foot tub which I don't like at all.

But overall, this is a really good house (if you like exposed red brick).  Thing is, there are only 3 bedrooms and one is a tiny one on the third floor with no bathroom.

The asking price was $1,849,000.

It sold in 6 days...

For $2,252,800.

Guess the bedroom situation wasn't an issue.
