CO-OP AGENT Anil Khera, Royal LePage West Realty Group Ltd.
The Action: Turned off by heated bidding wars for west-end properties closer to Bloor Street West, the clients of agent Anil Khera redirected their search to the Casa Loma community where they made an offer for this detached, 2½-storey house after a private showing.
What They Got: This five-bedroom house circa 1920s contains a ground floor study; a fireside living room; a traditional dining room, and a remodelled kitchen and family room with French doors to a deck and double garage.
The second floor accommodates a rear media room that opens to a deck, two bedrooms and a master suite containing a bedroom-sized sitting area, separate dressing room and the newest of six bathrooms.
Rounding out the third floor are two bedrooms, including one with a walk-in closet and a built-in bookcase.
A two-bedroom basement apartment is complete with a kitchen, two bathrooms, and side and rear entrances.
The Agent's Take: "In terms of size, it's probably fairly average, but it has a slightly different design," says Mr. Khera. "It has lots of charm and some original pieces, like the woodwork, hardwood flooring throughout the house and three fireplaces, plus a nice family room addition."
