131 South Drive - ROSEDALE (1 Comment)

In 2012, I posted a beautiful old home in Rosedale on a 54.75 x 118 foot south facing lot at 131 South Drive.

It looked like this...

And it had HUGE potential.

The asking price was $1,950,000 which I thought was a bargain. I said...

If 50 Elm sold for $4,995,000, then this house at this price with another $2,000,000 put into it could easily sell for the same.

I just hope that who ever buys this house renovates it with lots of care and with the intention of being there for a long time.

If it's done right, who knows...maybe it could even be worth close to what the 2 Castle Frank house sold for....$6,600,000!!!

I thought it would sell for $2,750,000 before renovations. It sold for $2,080,000...a BARGAIN! It is now back on the market as a flip*.

It is now a 5+1 bedroom, 6 bathroom house and was designed by Lorne Rose Design, the same people behind the house at 4 Wychwood Park...

The house at 11 Ridgewood Drive...

And I'm guessing the house at 107 Old Forest Hill Road...

(All new builds!)

And it was built by JTF Homes.

For the most part, I like it. It's not what I envisioned but they have done a good job. It does feel a little new build-ish with all the panelling and moulding on the ceilings not to mention some of the colours. But with some different paint and less stagey furniture, this could be a really great house.

I'm just not sure what to do with this...
