The action
The long-time owners of this five-bedroom house spent months preparing it for sale, painting and staging each room. There were three open houses and 15 private tours. One of the guests at an open house quickly negotiated a deal $145,000 shy of the asking price.
“We thought this was the best timing when there were the fewest number of listings out there,” said agent Paul Maranger.
“That specific pocket of Rosedale, a block in from Yonge Street, very little comes up [for sale].”
In February, this property, with 3,547 square feet of living space, was one of only two semi-detached homes for sale in the neighbourhood, where detached homes can sell for as much as $20-million.
“In Toronto, there are semis that are 1,200 square feet, so 3,500 square feet for a semi is very unusual,” said Mr. Maranger.
“The house actually felt like a detached home – every room was wide – and in that area of Rosedale, most of the houses are detached.”

What they got
In the 1980s, this three-storey house was updated, and architectural details from 1895 were restored.
Fireplaces are in the foyer, traditional living and dining rooms, and two bedrooms on the second floor.
The eat-in kitchen has access to a stone terrace and a private yard at the south end of the 25- by 136-foot lot.
There are four bathrooms, and entry to the garage through the finished basement.

The agent’s take
“This is only 400 metres to Rosedale subway station – a six-minute walk – a dream location for anyone who wants to be downtown,” Mr. Maranger said.
“The renovation in 1986 was done sympathetically to the neighbourhood and period with large crown mouldings and large baseboards, and the fireplaces were restored.”
