The Action: Families, curious neighbours and those with an artistic bent were among the crowd of buyers who descended on this semi-detached Victorian on a 19-by-130-foot lot this April.
"There was nothing directly comparable to this because it's very unique, and it's rare that something like this will come up on this section of the street, just north of College," agent Megan Till-Landry said. "It's one of the prettier houses on the block and it's one of the best blocks on Euclid."
What They Got: The 10-1/2-foot ceilings, crown mouldings and a wood-burning fireplace in the living room are a small sample of 19th-century features immortalized in this 2-1/2-storey structure.
Since 2002, the owner and designer updated most areas of the 2,283-square-foot space. The roof was replaced and the kitchen opened up to the dining room and outfitted with stainless-steel appliances, hardwood floors and French doors leading to a patio, backyard and laneway parking.
Upstairs, makeovers also took place in two bathrooms and the largest of four bedrooms. The master features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a brick wall, a gas fireplace, ensuite bathroom and deck.
The 872-square-foot basement suite was redone with cooking and entertaining quarters, an office and bedroom.
The Agent's Take: "When you see it, it doesn't strike you as a semi-detached home because it has such presence," Ms. Till-Landry notes. "And the exterior details are very unique to its time, [like] all the handcrafted brick details."
