The action
The open house for this semi-detached Victorian was packed with roughly 30 buyers, admiring its prime locale less than 100 metres south of Trinity Bellwoods Park and its mix of modern updates and late 19th-century charm.
“There weren’t any other Victorians like ours on the market at that price point, in that condition, so that really helped,” said agent David Peres.
“The owners took very good care of the home, they maintained it very well with new flooring, new landscaping in the yard, and painted everything.”
Within four days, one buyer negotiated a $1.53-million purchase. Others waited around in case a home inspection tanked that deal.
“There were at least one to two other serious buyers interested, but they did not want to compete,” Mr. Peres said.
“The sellers were very happy with the speed of the sale and the price they got, the same price as the adjoining house in 2023.”

There are open living and dining areas with stained-glass windows and a gas fireplace. Smaller lounge areas are on the second and lower levels.

The Agent’s Take
“It’s right by Trinity Bellwood’s gates, literally half a block to the park and Queen West, so it’s a nice location,” said Mr. Peres.
“The back yard was really unique too because there was an old office building behind with a nice brick wall and my clients had beautiful ivy growing on it.”
