House of the Week: $2.25 million for an airy, renovated home in Rosedale-Moore Park
By Fraser Abe |
By Fraser Abe |
Address: 116 Glen Road
Neighbourhood: Rosedale-Moore Park
Agent: Joseph Robert and Gillian Oxley, Royal Lepage Johnston and Daniel
Price: $2,249,000
The Place: A red-brick Rosedale home that was completely renovated after being purchased by its current owner in 2010. Initially listed for $3.28 million by a previous realtor, this chic, well-located property has finally landed at an attractive price point after more than a year on the market.
Bragging Rights: The custom wine wall in the dining room has space for over 100 bottles—more than even the most zealous oenophile could hope to drink at one dinner party.
Big Selling Point: The airy master bedroom’s skylights, especially the one right over the bed, keep the room filled with light. Better to wake up with the sun than with your iPhone’s jarring clang-clang alarm.
Possible Deal Breaker: Light and airy though it may be, the 784-square-foot master bedroom and en suite are on the third floor. After a long day of work, you may need to steel yourself to make that hike—or start hitting the stairs at the gym a bit more often.
By the Numbers:
• $2,249,000
• $11,823 in property taxes (2013)
• 3000 square feet, approximately
• 100-bottle wine wall
• 4 bedrooms
• 5 washrooms
• 3 storeys
• 1 finished basement

From what I know about Toronto real estate, that will sell for $800,000 over asking with 49 offers.
Butt ugly wine rack.
This will not last and will go over asking BUT u need to spend another $250K to get rid of that god forbidden wine rack and then do over the wall or just get a Salvador Dali painting for $1mil and cover it!! Nice house, superb location….
This house has been listed since the fall of 2013. The original list
price was $3.28 and has dropped in price 6 times since then.
Actually it’s been on the market since October 2012. Makes you wonder why if it’s such a great house, it’s taken this long to be the ‘House of the Week’
http://themashcanada.blogspot.ca/2014/01/price-drop-6-116-glen-road-rosedale.html
I’m sure that is a fine wine rack but why locate it in a bright, sunny room? Now if it was a wine fridge…..
From the looks of it, all one is going to get is a house with no backyard and huge front gravel pit. Hope the new owner enjoys cleaning glass….
Price dropped to 1.9m…..are cooler heads starting to prevail? Or is it that bad?
The house finally sold this past Sunday for $1.975 million. Far cry from the $3.28 million delusional original price.
Just sold for $1.975 million. Guess that means you didn’t end up being anywhere close to correct.
Wrong. Sold for well under asking at $1.975 million. Don’t believe the hype. The upper and lower ends of the market in this city are crumbling. It’s just the fuzzy middle that is still being driven by delusional property virgins.
1.9 mill is pretty nice for a house in Rosedale, I’d take it over most of the overpriced condos
