SOLD - 158 Glen Road - ROSEDALE, TORONTO

This is a 6+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom house with a 2 car garage plus 2 front pad parking spots on a 40 x 145 foot lot at 158 Glen Road in north Rosedale in Toronto.

And if it looks familiar, you have been reading this blog for a long time.

This is one of the first houses I posted. It had been on the market in 2010 before the blog started but didn’t sell and with a few changes to the interior, it was back on the market in 2012.

I loved the outside of the house but I wasn’t crazy about the inside as the style of the furniture wasn’t really for me. There was a lot of brown and yellow and the house felt dark. The kitchen was a good size but was also dark.

In 2010, it had been listed at $3,490,000. When it was listed in 2012, the price was down to $2,995,000. It sold for $2,685,000.

Last month, it was back on the market with a new kitchen that was much brighter, new bathrooms, a fully redone basement, and an overall brighter, more modern feel.

The asking price was $5,295,000 which sounds like a lot without the changes but made sense with the new kitchen, bathrooms, and basement.

It didn’t sell right away and sat on the market for a few weeks. It eventually sold for…

$5,200,000.

Wonder if the lower price had anything to do the neighbour that looked like this in 2009….
