This house it awful.
The captions on the photographs are genius.

Inquiring minds need to know … whose house is it? Grand piano, exercise equipment, mirrors galore and a funky bed – is the owner anyone we would know?
I enjoyed most of it- but that kitchen and lounge area is too cold and uninviting to enjoy a meal in.
Dine and dash….or eat out would be the thought.
Other than that-nice clean lines!
As to who loves there- someone that is not there for a longtime, but a good time.
I like the clean lines and the staging for the perceived buyer (hip, urban metrosexual broker). The exterior lost a great opportunity to better blend into a beautiful neighbourhood–had they considered simple odes to what came before in overhangs above windows or softening some of the lines, but this house isn’t above blending in to the existing–it is a show house for someone to prove how important they are.
I work in the area and can tell you the home is priced very aggressively, the agents sure did not price this and are wasting their time, the last home in this complex which has maintenance fee’s sold last year for around 525K-575K, slightly smaller but decorated beautifully as well, this home looks gorgeous but the price is more or less about 150K short of where it should be, Toronto Life should take more care in posting reasonable priced homes that will most likely sell. The Average price in this area is still below 850K for most 3 bedroom homes with the same finishes and completely FREEHOLD.
Dear TrinityRealtor,
It makes me sad to know that you’re a Realtor and you don’t know what “priced very aggressively” means. Something priced aggressively means it’s priced to sell – possibly even slightly below market value in order to allow for a quick sale. If you claim fair market value for this particular house is “below $850K” then that would make this property OVER priced. May want to brush up on some industry lingo before you go out and post some listings.
Thank you, Gabrielle. That really DID need to be said.
Also, “the price is more or less about 150K short of where it should be”? More likely the price is 150K OVER/MORE THAN where it should be…
Seems like this homeowner loves working out, hence why they feel to need to have excercise equipment all over the place.
Speaking of price… way way overpriced. Check on MLS.CA and you will see tons of listings and last sales were a high of $770K. Think they are pricing based on the fact its new and stands out from the other older overpriced homes in the area.Good luck.. Yeah… Trinityrealtor, you deserved all the blast you got! LOL
All that money and a kitchen that is built for someone who does not like to cook. Good thing there are many restaurants in the area. Also for this money – where do I hang my coat and take off my boots when I come through the front door (magic genie takes them I guess!). Too bad developer did not put any character into the outside of the building to take into account the older styling of the neighborhood. ugly building!
There should have been more kitchen, less lounge.
Thanks to Merits for pointing out the captions – I didn’t even look at them until you mentioned them. They are funny.
Realtors should think twice before allowing their listings on this site. Could do more harm than good. Dumb move.
Who is responsible for the comments beside the photos? Some were pretty funny but could have been a bit more creative. Here is the bed with canopy obscuring the view of the dead black bear lying on the floor!
Way… WAY to much *haterade* drinking by the commentators above. Really people??? It’s a well designed house in a really nice neighbourhood. And yeah, it’s expensive (for the previous reasons). If you won it in a lottery you’d be thrilled to bits. Go back to your basement apartments to sulk.
Boy, there sure is a lot going on in this place – pianos, lounging, living…clothing. Heh, I kind of like the “sneaky” exercise nook. You can’t ignore it (but don’t drop those dumbells!). However, the kitchen looks like a total afterthought for people who don’t cook but were convinced a house must have a kitchen. BTW, where’s that second bedroom? The realtors have shamelessly advertised this place as two bedroom/two bathroom, but all I see is one bedroom/one bathroom, a walk-in closet and a pedestal sink. Even the MLS listing describes one 14’x14′ Master bedroom and one 12’x8′ “Other”. Hmmm…
The captions kill me. I work in a field that occasionally involves real estate transactions and photographing; my personal captions – that only I see – are better than these.
WHERE IS THE PROPERTY TAX ESTIMATE..OF 2011
Gabrielle – No the price is aggressive – they are aggressivly asking too much, please don’t try to educate me on R.E lingo.To burst your bubble – the last unit to sell was unit 2 next door, they had asked 769K and sold for 727K -44 days on the market 94%of list. This was just last year, and it was slightly smaller and showed just as well.
Would be of interest to know the size of the house. How come its not on MLS?
Narcissistic.
