LISTING AGENT Patrick Rocca, Bosley Real Estate Ltd.
The Action: It took just one open house and one week to convince several home shoppers to present agent Patrick Rocca with offers for this brick bungalow in the north section of Leaside.
What They Got: Million dollar properties surround this two-bedroom and two-bathroom bungalow, which had separate living and dining rooms, an updated kitchen and a sunroom with a walkout to the fenced backyard, as well as a lower-level recreation room and an attached garage.
The buyers have already torn down the 1940s residence, which sat on land measuring 36 feet by 120 feet. The land backs onto a park-like setting, yet is within steps of amenities, such as schools, parks, shops and public transit.
The Agent's Take: "It's a nice location and a good size lot," says Mr. Rocca. "And it's a good opportunity to build your own dream home, and that's exactly what's being done there."
