THE ACTION
This semi-detached house, backing onto West Lodge Park, was one of three multiplex properties on Lansdowne Avenue looking for a buyer late last year. The sellers were unhappy with the first offer presented when it was listed for nearly $1.2-million. Cutting the price by $96,000 brought two new offers, one of which was negotiated to a $1,077,500 final sale.
“I was very grateful it sold,” said agent Lucais Shepherd. “It’s a tough market.
Cutting the price by $96,000 brought two new offers.Lucais Corp.
“One [other competing property] was sold conditional while mine was on the market, and I was curious to see what it sold for, but it fell through. The more historic home, older than this house, also didn’t sell.
“The market is fickle.”
Mr. Shepherd credits the sale to this property’s more attractive price tag as well as its uncommon assets, from four-car parking on a 16- by 117-foot lot, to extra living space on the third floor.
“The parking was a bonus, and a full third storey with a rooftop terrace was a bonus as well,” Mr. Shepherd said.
“The rooftop terrace overlooks West Lodge Park and there’s no house behind it.”
The rooftop terrace was one of several attractive features for buyers.Lucais Corp.
