The Action: Private showings and two open houses were organized opportunities for buyers to visit this semi-detached, brick house in one of the city's oldest neigbourhoods.
What They Got: This three-storey Corktown residence contains three bedrooms, three bathrooms and multiple entertaining spaces stylishly dressed with contemporary finishes and mechanical systems, from hickory hardwood floors to a central vacuum system.
By the front foyer, the kitchen features slate floors, granite finishes and stainless steel appliances.
At the back of the main floor, there is a sunken dining area and a two-storey family room with a gas fireplace, full height windows and a walkout to a fenced south-facing patio.
There is a second floor office and a master suite with a walk-in closet and bathroom.
The third floor houses two bedrooms, including one with a skylight, and a bathroom with access to a balcony.
The basement was finished with a den and a wet bar.
Directly behind the property is access to a parking spot in a gated lot.
The Agent's Take: "It was a unique house for that pocket because … this was newer construction that had been completely redone before the [seller]bought it," says agent Sandra Pate. "It's really hard to find a cool, modern reno."
