House of the Week: $765,000 for a gussied-up semi with a sleek, minimalist kitchen

Bragging Rights: The long backyard is big by city standards, with room for a raised deck, a grassy lawn, a detached garage and a garden.

Big Selling Point: Love thy neighbourhood. Family-centric Seaton Village made it onto our 2013 list of the top spots for high-return real estate.

Possible Deal Breaker: The residents of the three upstairs bedrooms will have to jockey for the single bathroom on that level.

By The Numbers: • $764,900 • $3,532.09 in property taxes (2012) • 20-foot-by-120-foot lot • 3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms • 1 covered deck • 1 detached garage
