SOLD - 138 Macpherson Avenue - SUMMERHILL (1 Comment)
If you have ever driven along Macpherson, you have probably noticed this house and wondered what it looks like inside.
It's a little, yellow brick cottage with a modern 2 storey addition in the back.
According to the Globe and Mail Home of the Week article about it last week that I missed (how did I miss this!?!), it used to be a dairy office. According to the article, when former owner, architect Tye Farrow, bought it in the 90s, building officials were encouraging Farrow to tear it down.
Instead, Farrow made a unique home for his family.
In 2011, the current owners, Paul and Wendi Bonder, who own BarreWorks Studios (where a 1 year membership is $1,908, just in case you are wondering), hired Mazan El-Abdallah of Mazen Studios, the same person behind the house at 314 Palmerston Boulevard in 2012...
As empty nesters, they didn't need the bedrooms and changed the space to suit their needs. It is now a 2 bedroom, 4 bathroom house on a 37.58 x 120 foot lot with parking.
And it's amazing. Some people might be into a little more furniture in the living room...
But the space itself is great.
Although the Globe and Mail article was written last week, this house was officially listed 3 days ago for $3,780,000.
It sold the same day...
For $4,200,000.
(Thanks to D for sending this in! I still don't know how I missed this.)
Note: Edited to remove house incorrectly attributed to Mazen Studios.
