The action

The house at 299½ Sumach St. was built circa 1885 as a single detached home and then subdivided into two dwellings about six years later. Its address, displayed in an original stained-glass transom above its front door, became an easy conversation-starter for dozens of curious potential buyers. Within three weeks, one made a deal just $55,000 shy of the $1.25-million asking price.
“It’s very rare to have any address in the City of Toronto that says a half,” said agent Paul Maranger. “We thought we’d need to allocate more time [on the market] because there were so many houses for sale, at least a couple dozen, but this was at a price point that was more favourable than others.”
This home, near Riverdale Park, also has the benefit of a sizable footprint and parking on the 12- by 127-foot lot.
“The house presents bigger than it seems, it’s about the size of a big condo with about 1,500 square feet,” Mr. Maranger said. “Frequently at this price point in Cabbagetown, it means no parking, but this had lovely parking at the back because it’s a super deep lot.”

“In that pocket, there’s a symmetry between [semi-detached] houses, but what’s fun about this semi is it doesn’t have that symmetry because it was built as one home,” Mr. Maranger said.
“The other side has a circular window, and the third-floor peak is not centred on the house.”
