The history

The original home on this lot was a 1923 bungalow. In February 2015, the current owners bought the place, tore it down, and built a two-storey home in line with the latest trends. It’s the kind of place that’s common in more expensive neighbourhoods like Leaside and Lawerence Park, but the grey, boxy style is less common in Woodbine Heights.

Big selling point

The house is designed to make it easy to rent out the basement nanny suite. There are laundry machines down there, a four-piece bathroom, and roughed-in plumbing for a kitchen:

Possible deal breaker

The house is very close to busy O’Connor Avenue—but the city just banned right turns from Lesmount onto O’Connor, which should help deter through traffic from driving by at all hours.

By the numbers

• $1,299,000 • 1,600 square feet • 20-by-100-foot lot • 3 + 1 bedrooms • 4 bathrooms • 1 parking spot
