House of the Week: $1.4 million for one of the oldest homes in Davisville

Address: 3 Tullis Drive
Neighbourhood: Davisville Agents: Jackie Ferris, Sutton Group Associates Realty Price: $1,399,000 Previously sold for: $22,000, in 1966

The place

A Davisville Village original with a sunny third floor loft and plenty of garden space.

The history

This home, built in the 1920s, was one of the first in the area. The current owners—an architect and an artist—bought it back in 1966 and conducted major renovations in 1974 and 1985 to give it more of a “country-meets-city” feel.

There’s plenty of living space. This room also has a wood-burning fireplace:

Big selling point

There’s ample space for creatives who work from home. The third floor loft has floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights, and could be used as a bedroom or a studio space.

Possible deal-breaker

Aside from some minor additions, this home hasn’t seen a major reno in more than 30 years. Depending on the buyer’s tolerance for dated features, they may have to shoulder the additional costs of upgrades.
