223 Wright Avenue - RONCESVALLES

This is a 4+1 bedroom, 2 bathroom detached house on a 26.7 x 132 foot lot at 223 Wright Avenue in Roncesvalles.

And the only thing I can think of to describe it is...

Between the black wainscoting on the stairs and the dark couches and dark patterned curtains throughout the house...

I guess dark and broody could work here as well.  

Or like the house at 186 Wallace Avenue...

Maybe Steampunk.

There is a lot going on but it all works together.  It's too much for me, but if this is your style, it's great.  

If it isn't your style, a little bit of paint on the dark wainscotting (and maybe trim if you don't like the dark wood) and lighter furniture could change the look of this house altogether because the bathrooms and the kitchens could go either way.

I like the black counter in the kitchen but a white marble could change that kitchen as well.

There are only 2 bathrooms but they are bright.   I would probably remove this thing...

And I think I would do a little gardening and tree pruning so the backyard wasn't so dark.

Otherwise, this is a good house that could be a much brighter house without a lot of changes (I just can't figure out why there are rads when the listing says it is forced air.)

This is listed at $1,499,000.

Considering the house up the street that needed a full reno at 280 Wright Avenue...

Sold for $1,350,000 in March of 2015...

This will probably sell closer to $1,685,000 (maybe a little less if it needs new windows).
