Address: 202 Bogert Ave. Neighbourhood: Lansing Agents: Jina Kim, Broker, Right at Home Realty Price:$2,488,000 Previously sold for: $502,000 in 2009

The place

A newly built six-bedroom home that’s equal parts modern and rustic.

The history

In 2016, the owner demolished the run-of-the-mill one-and-a-half-storey house that used to occupy this lot and built a new one in its place.

The entrance has a unique layout:

Possible deal-breaker
