House of the Week: $1.9 million for a wood-panelled home near High Park
By Fraser Abe |
By Fraser Abe |
Address: 183 Indian Road
Neighbourhood: High Park-Swansea
Agent: Kim Kehoe, Bosley Real Estate
Price: $1,879,000
The Place: A grand, detached house in the High Park area.
Bragging Rights: Whoever buys this place will be able to watch the cherry blossoms bloom in the park (spring is only a few weeks away!), grab lunch on Roncy and hang out on the lakeshore. It’s all within walking distance.
Big Selling Point: The stately wooden accents throughout the home catch the eye, and the restored stained-glass windows in the entry and dining room are just a bonus.
Possible Deal Breaker: A home that boasts six bedrooms but only two bathrooms will be a foreign (or scary) concept to some families. But just think of the water savings.
By the Numbers:
• $1,879,000
• 6 bedrooms
• 2 bathrooms
• 1 garage
• 1 private driveway

Yes, housing is the most manipulated market in the world.

Sleek job :)
Very nice. One quibble about the caption on slide 17: *everyone’s* backyard looks a little sad in winter in Toronto so that was moot!
