CO-OP AGENTS Irene Kaushansky and Philip Brown, Keller Williams Advantage Realty
THE ACTION: This detached, two-storey house in Bloor West Village only had 12 hours of exposure before bids were submitted from several buyers, including the clients of Irene Kaushansky and Philip Brown.
"It's a neighbourhood we knew we had to move quickly in and the property quickly on," says Ms. Kaushansky.
WHAT THEY GOT: Likely built in the 1930s, this three-bedroom house contains a living room with a wood burning fireplace, and a rear dining room open to a recently remodeled kitchen with granite counters and extended breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and a door to a deck with a gas hookup and fenced backyard.
A renovated four-piece bathroom is upstairs amidst the bedrooms, including two with hardwood floors like the principal rooms.
Finally, there is a full basement with a side door to a mutual driveway and detached garage.
THE AGENT'S TAKE: "[The buyers]were looking for a house in a good neighbourhood and close to the subway," says Ms. Kaushansky. "It was a very pretty house that had a very nice feel and tons of natural light."
