LISTING AGENTS Dina Maglietta and David Knox, Summerhill Prestige Real Estate Ltd.
The Action: Agents-only and public open houses gave lots of exposure to this three-storey, semi-detached house, which drew strong offers from four buyers.
What They Got: Since 2003, this 24-year-old house has undergone many changes and improvements, from a new roof, furnace and air conditioning system to updated hardwood floors, carpeting, baseboards and shutters.
The eat-in kitchen had the biggest makeover with quartz counters, sleek white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances.
A powder room and combined living and dining area with a fireplace and Juliet balcony complete the main floor.
The family room is on the second level, along with a master suite with a walk-in closet and five-piece marble bathroom with a whirlpool tub.
The top floor houses an updated bathroom and two bedrooms, including one with a skylight.
The basement has access to the garage, which exits to a heated driveway, and a recreation room with a wood burning fireplace and sliding doors to a private patio and terraced garden.
The Agent's Take: The price and condition of this property were extremely attractive compared to other homes on the popular street in Summerhill, agent David Knox explains.
"It's more renovated than a lot of them," he says. "And the master is on the second floor, which is preferred … because as people get older, they don't want to do the stairs."
