Sale of the Week: The $3.8-million coach house that shows the allure of a unique property
Address: 1 Chestnut Park Road
Neighbourhood: Rosedale
Agent: Kate Ryley, Blue Elephant Realty
The property: One of four units in a restored Rosedale mansion. This renovated coach house—which is physically separate from the main building, but still part of the same condo corporation—has four private terraces, two master bedrooms and a private elevator.
The history: The selling agent says her client bought the coach house in 2013 because he couldn’t turn down such a unique property. The space ended up being too large for just himself.
The fate: The buyers have the opposite problem: they’re a couple with grown children looking to downsize to a smaller property in the neighbourhood. They fell in love with the coach house because it felt like the perfect compromise between a house and a condo.
The sale: The buyers made a bully offer for $60,000 over asking, which the seller accepted.
By the numbers:
- $3,810,000
- $14,239.08 in property taxes (2015)
- $2,656.31 in monthly maintenance fees
- 5 days on the market
- 4 bathrooms
- 2 bedrooms
- 2 parking spaces
- 1 private elevator
The unit is in a coach house behind this restored, multi-unit mansion.
The unit has its own elevator, naturally.
The coach house has two gas fireplaces.
The kitchen is all decked out in quartzite.
This den area is on the second floor.
And here’s the second-floor bedroom.
The second-floor bedroom’s ensuite bathroom.
This bedroom has the third floor to itself. It has two walk-in closets.
And here’s that bedroom’s ensuite bathroom. Interesting choice of shower stool.
