Hi.

Welcome to the MASH where we gossip about current real estate listings.

Enjoy!

30 Gibson Avenue - SUMMERHILL

30 Gibson Avenue - SUMMERHILL

This is a 4 bedroom (it's really a 3+1 bedroom), 5 bathroom semi/row house with 1 parking spot on an 18.5 x 88.41 foot lot at 30 Gibson Avenue in Summerhill.

It's a house that I posted in February 2015 when it was a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house and looked like this...

It was a house that needed a lot of work (though it was kind of amazing as it was) but had a ton of potential.

It was listed at $1,395,000.  It sold for $1,586,000.

In August 2015, it was back on the market with no changes for $1,795,000.

By November 2015, the price was down to $1,779,000.  I'm not certain, but I think it sold around ask.

A year and a half later, it is back on the market after being totally gutted.  And for the most part, I really like it.

I think the faucets in the kitchen and bathrooms are kind of specific and there are probably a lot of people who aren't into that style (I would be one of them).  And I don't love that island in the kitchen that separates the sink and the stove (that stove should really have a swing out faucet).

But overall, it's a good house with a good layout...

The asking price is $2,780,000.

Considering the flip across the street at 3 Gibson Avenue was recently listed at $2,689,000 and sold for $2,755,000...

This price doesn't seem so crazy (even though $3 million for a 3 bedroom semi is crazy).

But this house is slightly narrower and feels smaller.  And the house at 3 Gibson was a little more modern and less traditional.

And considering this house has been on the market for weeks, it might be having a price drop soon.

Maybe.

P.S.  Just looking at the pictures again and I'm really not loving that kitchen island.
