AND IT WENT FOR - 166 Crescent Road - ROSEDALE, TORONTO (2 Comments)

In December 2017, I posted this 7+1 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms on a 100 x 580 foot at 166 Crescent Road in Rosedale.

It was a house that I had initially listed in October 2013 and it seemed to be a flip…

A flip of a century old Rosedale home that had a name (Edward Fisher House)!?!

This wasn’t going to be good.

Then I saw this photo…

And my reaction was…

With a price tag of $11,388,000? That was not good.

But it turns out it was the kitchen on the third floor.  Six months after I posted it, the house was on the market again at a price drop to $8,800,000 with photos of the main kitchen...

And this was it…

Ummm…..

Don’t get me wrong. The kitchen is fine. But in this house!?! With this fridge?

That is not a $12 million dollar fridge. Or even a $8,800,000 fridge which was the new price of the house.

A year later, it was back on the market again at another price drop which is when I realized that this was basically the kitchen of Real Housewife of New Jersey Teresa Giudice...

The new asking price was $8,380,000 which I thought was still going to be a tough sell.

A month later, it sold for approximately $7.9 million.

Two years later, it was back on the market as a complete redo with these concept photos…

And in that post, I had a lot of things to say about that layout like the fact that there is no formal living room which I felt was odd for a house this size.

But the house could still be amazing.

It was listed at $9,999,900.

Which is why it had been on the market for months and took another 10 months to sell.

But it has finally sold…

For approximately $8.3.

Let’s hope it’s not another flip, but I have a feeling it won’t be this time around.
