House of the Week: $650,000 for a condo-sized coach house in South Riverdale
House of the Week: $650,000 for a condo-sized coach house in South Riverdale
Address: 25R Clark Street
Neighbourhood: South Riverdale
Agent: Marc Paille and Michell Perez, Royal Lepage Signature Realty
Price: $645,218
The Place: A coach house tucked away on a quiet laneway near Queen and Broadview.
Bragging Rights: This home is priced like a condo and laid out like one too, with its single bedroom lofted over the open-concept kitchen and living room. The interior is a little roomier than most condo interiors, though, and it has a second bathroom. Also, there’s no need to pay any pesky maintenance fees.
Big Selling Point: The soaring cathedral ceilings in the main room have skylights to keep the house bright and airy. Plus, all that open space above kitchen means the owner would have to burn a whole lot of toast before setting off the smoke alarm.
Possible Deal Breaker: Hidden away behind row houses and their parking spots, the front entrance doesn’t exactly scream curb appeal. Also, good luck getting a pizza delivered.
By the Numbers:
• $645,218
• $3,119 in taxes (2014)
• 1,000 square feet, approximately
• 14 years old
• 2 bathrooms
• 1 bedroom
• 1 parking space
• 1 wine fridge

- There's a little crow's nest area perched above the kitchen. Stick a computer there and it may just barely qualify as an office.

South Riverdale… now there’s a phrase I haven’t heard in a very long time. It’s been called Riverside for years now.
ridiculous price and property tax for virtually no land.
Here’s a hint about Toronto real estate, if you see an $8,500 range in a house less than $2mm then there are probably issues behind the walls.
