Address: 35 High Park Boulevard
Neighbourhood: High Park-Swansea
Agent: Monte Walls Burris and Frank James Bertucca, Keller Williams Referred Urban Realty, Brokerage
Price: $2,365,000

The Place: A recently renovated century home in High Park, loaded with original details.

Bragging Rights: This place is owned by Good Housekeeping editor-in-chief Jane Francisco, so it’s probably safe to assume that it’s in tip-top shape.

Big Selling Point: An extensive renovation in 2012 replaced the roof, heat and electrical systems, but left most of the original craftsmanship intact. Post-reno, the house still has tons of charm, without any of the usual old-building headaches.

Possible Deal Breaker: The home is being sold in conjunction with 155 Indian Road, a 2,014-square-foot lot that cuts into part of the property. Listed separately at $485,000, the buyer can either purchase it as well or risk losing the roomy yard.

• $2,365,000
