House of the Week: $1.8 million for a contemporary Baby Point home with a park view
By Simone Olivero |
By Simone Olivero |
Address: 69B Harshaw Ave
Neighbourhood: Lambton Baby Point
Agent: David Anderson Oey, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $1,775,000
The Place: A contemporary detached home backing onto Lessard Park in Baby Point Village.
Bragging Rights: Roomy terraces on the roof and in the backyard should make for great outdoor entertaining. There’s even a firepit for the colder months.
Big Selling Point: This place has spacious rooms, parking, a good-sized backyard and a great location near schools, parks and TTC. Plus, the Old Mill Hotel, with its luxurious spa, isn’t far away.
Possible Deal Breaker: The current owners have turned the basement into a serious workshop, which is great for any handymen/women who might be interested in buying the home. Buyers who are less mechanically inclined may need to paint some walls and lay down a little laminate flooring before the space feels usable as a rec room.
By The Numbers:
• $1,775,000
• $7,600 in property taxes
• 3,700 square feet of space
• 5 bathrooms
• 4 bedrooms
• 3 storeys
• 3-car parking
• 2 terraces
• 2 years old
• 1 gas fireplace
• 1 basement workshop
• 1 outdoor firepit

- The house looks like a semi, but it's not. There's a little sliver of space between it and its neighbour.

Has anyone lived in a house that is that close to the neighbour before? I’ve seen a few but always wonder what you would do if there was a problem with the wall, an animal died in between the houses or something?
1.8 Million to live two feet lower than the identical house next door? Glass garage doors are idiotic…lets everyone know if you are home or not. You also get to look forward to the house house on the right that will be torn down and overbuilt…oh joy!
