LISTING AGENT Robin Pope, Pope Real Estate Ltd
The Action: The contemporary design and decor of this freehold townhouse in Corktown spoke largely to professionals couples. About a dozen examined the property in June and a viable bid was signed off on Canada Day.
What They Got: Gilead Investments and Brian Kucharski respectively developed and designed a row of three-storey townhouses, where this 1,814-square-foot house brings together open entertaining areas and two bedrooms linked by a staircase with check-plate steel treads and perforated steel guardrails.
Through the front door is a modern Scavolini kitchen with stone counters and stainless steel Fisher & Paykel appliances, as well as a small flight of steps to a rear living and dining area with hardwood floors and a gas fireplace.
Further up, is a second-floor master suite with one of three bathrooms and a third-floor family room with entry to a rooftop terrace, while the basement has a study and interior access to a private garage that exits to a lane behind the 16-foot wide lot.
The Agent's Take: "It's a 15-minute walk to Yonge Street," agent Robin Pope says of this house's initial appeal. "[Plus] there are not a lot of newly constructed houses in the neighbourhood, most of them are 100-year-old houses."
Even fewer are designed to this calibre. "There are only eight townhouses on the street and they're all customized, though they are very similar in many ways, they all have something that makes it slightly different," Mr. Pope states.
