House of the Week: $720,000 for a small semi near Trinity Bellwoods Park

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
