House of the Week: $2 million for a well-preserved older home in Roncesvalles

Address: 123 Westminster Avenue
Neighbourhood: Roncesvalles Agent: Stacey Fulton, Sage Real Estate Limited, Brokerage Price: $1,999,999

The place

A century-old red-brick home, steps away from Roncesvalles Avenue.

The history

The house was built in 1900, but there was a massive renovation in 1982 that added windows to the back and modernized the wiring. More recently, the place has had a paint job and some waterproofing.

Here’s the entry:

Big selling point

History buffs will appreciate the original oak baseboards, doors, trim and staircase. There are also leaded and stained-glass windows throughout and a wrought-iron front yard fence, all still intact at 119 years old.

Possible deal breaker

The small shower in the third-floor master ensuite may be a bit old-school for those looking for glassy, spa-like facilities:

But at least there’s a nice tub and Juliet balcony:
