I’m into this house.

It is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house on a double 100 x 180 foot lot at 149 Arnold Avenue in Thornhill.

I don’t love the front. And I wasn’t sure if this house had been updated recently or not with the ‘trendy’ brick backsplash and wall.

But then I realized the house at 34 Scarcliff Gardens in Scarborough…

That was featured in the Globe and Mail in December 2013  and was featured in the Sarah Richardson show 'Real Potential' was full of brick in the before photos…

All of that was ripped out and was updated to look like this…

Sort of a similar feel to this house…

But I prefer the original details of this house.

I am pretty sure the house interior was more along the lines of the basement stair runner before it was staged…

But the staging updates it a lot and I like the house as it is.

But I would paint that brick white and maybe open up the kitchen (and maybe update the bathrooms).

Considering it is on a double lot though and the neighbours all look like this…

And that the price tag is $2,298,000…

I’m guessing this is getting torn down.

But this staging shows that it doesn’t need to be and perhaps someone who wants to make an investment could buy this house and live in it as is and build later or sell when the property value goes up.

Either way, I am really into this house.
