41 Grandview Avenue - RIVERDALE (1 comment)
This is a 3+1 bedroom, 2 bathroom semi with a 2 car detached garage on a 19 x 120 foot lot at 41 Grandview Avenue in Riverdale.
It's an updated house with a kitchen that was designed by Donald Chong, the same architect who was behind the Roncesvalles house at 8 Ridout Street...
He was formally a partner at Williams Chong (though his Linkedin says otherwise) with Betsy Williams and Shane Williams whose firm was were behind the house at 66 Tranby Avenue in the Annex...
But Chong is now a partner at HDR Inc..
Here he is talking about a lot of architecture stuff that could be totally fascinating to you or help you with that post Friday lunch nap It's basically an informercial for all of his work but he starts talking about houses around the 19:00 mark...
The whole of this house wasn't designed by Chong, just the kitchen, and considering his apparent attention to detail in the video above, I'm curious if he was responsible for this awkward basement stair bump out into the kitchen...
Or if he was, maybe he had this project in mind when he designed it...
If that thing doesn't bother you, this is a great kitchen. And as a whole, it is a really good house with a separate basement entrance (even if it takes up a good portion of the kitchen floor).
It is listed at $1,349,000.
With only 2 bathrooms, I would say this is pretty high. But it is Riverdale (where there haven't been a lot of recent listings) and there is a 2 car parking garage. And this is a move-in ready house with a finished basement.
Which means it will probably sell closer to $1,495,000.
