The action

This 125-year-old Edwardian on a one-way street between Dundas and Queen streets attracted the attention of buyers looking to restore an old property and add a coach house. Listed for prices as high as $3,698,000 this summer, the asking price had been progressively lowered. Still, their $2.6-million offer was rejected, and they went on to consider two other homes in the Beaches and Leslieville. By October, seeing the Brooklyn house still for sale, they resubmitted their $2.6-million offer. This time, it was accepted.

“Those 100-year-old homes that require a full renovation are very much in a buyers’ market right now,” said the buyers’ agent Shane Little.

“If we couldn’t make a deal on Brooklyn, we would consider another one.”

The buyers preferred this property’s location over all else.

“Brooklyn is a premier street; it’s tree-lined, and a lot of the homes are older,” Mr. Little said. “You’re also very central.”

What they got

This three-storey house has two separate suites on two levels, each with two full bathrooms.

The lower unit has three bedrooms in the basement. The main floor has a living room with a fireplace, crown mouldings and original hardwood floors. There’s also a dining room and an eat-in kitchen with an exit to the back yard.

The owner’s unit above has a living room and kitchen, both with wide balconies, as well as a dining room. Directly above is a family room and two bedrooms.

A carport and private driveway are on the 40- by 120-foot lot.

The agent’s take

“Its original brick was beautiful, and it has some old, original character, like the doors,” Mr. Little said.

“It almost backs onto two laneways that meet at a T. If they build a coach house, you could drive straight into your parking, not dealing with 90-degree turns.”
