House of the Week: $720,000 for a small semi near Trinity Bellwoods Park
Address: 151 Claremont Street
Neighbourhood: Trinity-Bellwoods
Agent: Lisa Colleen Munro and Ken Cramer, Bosley Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $719,000
The Place: A two-storey, brick semi in Trinity Bellwoods.
Bragging Rights: Finding a house in a hot neighbourhood like Trinity Bellwoods for less than a million dollars is nearly impossible. At under $800,000, even a relatively small semi like this one could be considered a bargain.
Big Selling Point: The house was completely gutted in 2007. The interior now has new bamboo flooring, insulation, drywall and plumbing, all of which should lessen the need for expensive renovations—for a little while, at least.
Possible Deal Breaker: There isn’t any parking, but that’s part of the reason the listing price is relatively low.
By The Numbers:
• $719,000 • $3,452.37 in property taxes (2014) • 1,100 square feet • 315-square-foot finished basement • 2 bedrooms • 2 washrooms • 2 storeys
