SOLD - 285 Grace Street - PALMERSTON (2 Comments)

This is a 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom semi on a 17.66 x 114 foot lot with a garage at 285 Grace Street just south of Harbord in Palmerston.

The first time I posted it was 2 years ago right after it had been flipped from this...

And my reaction when I saw the photos was...

Where do I start!?!

I actually liked the kitchen, but I wouldn't say that the view to that deck and the stone work on the garage is 'the encompassment of brilliance' as the listing said...

And the bathrooms and living room were tiny.  

Before it was flipped, it was listed at $799,000.  After the flip, the asking price was $1,547,000.

 I thought that was way too high.

It didn't sell and the price was dropped in August to $1,399,000.

I thought it was still a little high but was getting closer.

But then in September, it had a price increase to $1,499,000.

In May 2016, it came back on the market at $1,299,900.  It sold the day after I posted it for $1,500,000.

Last week, it was back on the market at was the blogTO House of the Week.

Since it sold last year, the basement has been renovated from this...

To this...

So, a big improvement there.

A year after it sold for $1,500,000 and a basement renovation later, it was listed last week at $1,598,000.

It sold...

For $1,800,000.
