The action
Previous owners have modernized the interiors, including updated hardwood flooring in the living and dining areas.Keller Williams Portfolio Realty
After Victoria Day, this three-bedroom house was one of only a few homes available for purchase in an enclave north of O’Connor Drive that hugs the cliffs overlooking the Don Valley ravine. As the market had substantially softened, an offer that trimmed $49,000 off the asking price was accepted.
“Things were starting to change a little bit, so we were hoping it would go that quickly,” said agent Irene Kaushansky.
“It was before the time when more [homes] came on the market, so there wasn’t a huge amount, but certainly more than there would have been at the beginning of the year.”

The agent’s take
The property includes an enclosed yard.Keller Williams Portfolio Realty
“It’s super cute with a great lowered basement, which for East York homes is on the rare side, and it’s very move-in ready,” Ms. Kaushansky said.
“It’s not on a huge lot, but it has a nice yard, and it was enclosed, so it was fairly private.”
