The property

A newly built 6,500-square-foot home near Yonge and Finch. The five-bed, eight-bath house has a luxe interior, including heated porcelain flooring, black and white marble in the bathrooms and a few ritzy chandeliers.

The history

In 2016, when the sellers bought the property for $1.25 million, a much smaller home sat on the lot. They spent about $1.7 million to knock that place down and build a luxury home. The sellers, who own a plumbing company, have decided to downsize.

Here’s the foyer. There are heated porcelain floors on the main level:

The gas fireplace in the living room has a marble mantel:

The sale

In 2019, the sellers listed the house for $3.5 million. It went unsold. So they switched brokerages, found a new agent, updated the marketing material and relisted the home for $3 million. Then, to avoid lowball offers, they bumped the price up to $3.3 million. The place eventually sold for $270,000 under asking. The buyers were drawn to the home’s luxury amenities, like the heated tile flooring on the main level and the brass Waterstone faucets in the kitchen.
