Address: 1587 Dupont Street
Neighbourhood: Junction Triangle Agent: Matt Manuel and Paul Johnston, Right at Home Realty Inc., Brokerage Price: $2,395,000 Previously sold for: $425,000, in 2009, prior to a major renovation

The place

A newly built home in the Junction Triangle, close to the Union Pearson Express and the West Toronto Railpath.

The history

Once a storefront with a residence on top, the home was converted to a single-family dwelling by Soma Studio in 2010.

Here’s the entrance:

There are two bedrooms on the second floor. This is the master:

The master ensuite. Don’t ask us what’s up with the bird (keep looking if you haven’t spotted it). We have no idea:

Big selling point

The courtyard’s tall fences and newly planted trees create privacy while allowing light to stream into the two-storey living room and atrium:

Also, out back, a studio space atop the two-car garage has a bathroom and a roughed in kitchenette. It could be used as a gym space, home office, or in-law suite.

Possible deal breaker

The home is a semi, which might be a deal breaker for anyone who expects a detached home in exchange for their $2.4-million outlay. But the property is, at least, on a 24.42-foot-wide lot, making this one of the wider semis in the west end.

By the numbers

• $2,395,000 • $6,130.16 in taxes (2017) • 3,200 square feet • 4 bathrooms • 3 bedrooms • 3 parking spots • 1 fireplace
