Address: 1 Country Club Drive
Neighbourhood: Humber Valley
Agent: Theodore Evan Babiak, Royal Lepage Real Estate Services Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $2,048,000
The place: A sprawling four-bedroom, five-bathroom bungalow with a Californian feel, complete with its own waterfall in the backyard.
The history: Built in 1957, this home has been updated continually over the years: the kitchen was renovated in 2002, and the lower level and master bathroom were both refurbished last year. Other, less sexy updates include a new furnace, a backflow preventer and the best washers and dryers.
Big selling point: The new master bathroom has a heated tile floor, a deep soaker tub, a rainfall shower head and double sinks. A frosted barn door admits light while maintaining privacy.
Possible deal breaker: Though the kitchen is relatively new—with custom-built cherry cabinets, black granite counters and top-of-the-line appliances—anyone seeking ultra-modern marble surfaces and open shelving may need to look elsewhere.
By the numbers:
• $2,048,000 • $10,487 in taxes (2015) • 80-by-176 foot lot • 4 bedrooms • 5 bathrooms • 2 gas fireplaces • 2-car garage (plus room for 4 more cars in the courtyard driveway) • 1 exercise room • 1 sauna
