House of the Week: $3 million for a heritage home in Rosedale

Bragging Rights: Despite being a semi, this house feels incredibly spacious. It has six good-sized bedrooms and a finished basement plush enough to be used as a family room.

Big Selling Point: Though most of the home has an antique feel, the previous owners updated the kitchen and bathrooms to make them more functional for a modern family. No awkward claw-foot tubs in this house.

Possible Deal Breaker: The house is a heritage property, which means changing up the outside requires complicated political negotiations. It may sound harsh, but that’s how the neighbourhood maintains its sought-after character.

By The Numbers:

• $2,995,000 • $14,814.44 in property taxes (2014) • 4,680 square feet • 6 bedrooms • 5 washrooms • 3 storeys • 3 fireplaces • 3-car parking • 1 skylight • 1 heritage designation
