A recently built 3,000-square-foot home in Scarborough. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom house has a bright, open-concept interior and a forest-like backyard.

The history

In 2018, a local builder bought the property for $720,000, back when a bungalow sat on the lot. Then, they stripped it down to the foundation and spent roughly $400,000 on the construction of a family-sized home.

The tour

The entrance opens right into the living room, which has pot lights, maple floors and 10-foot ceilings:

The fate

The buyers were looking to invest in Toronto real estate. They plan to move here and live with their daughter, who’s based in the city and helped them find the house.

The sale

Last year, the sellers listed the property for nearly $1.4 million. After a couple of weeks, they didn’t get any offers, so they cut the price by $50,000. It eventually sold for $1.3 million.
