The history

In 2012, a developer bought the two detached homes that were originally on this site and then spent five years attempting different ways of making money on the land, including selling it outright as a raw development parcel. When that didn’t work, the developer built six semis, including this one.

Here’s the main floor living area, at the front of the house:

There were five competitive offers, and the home sold for $26,000 over asking. The same agents also sold 105 Beaver Avenue earlier this month for $1,406,105. Another of the six homes was sold in September for $1,400,000, though it was originally listed at $999,000. Two others have been leased, and the final home is still up for sale.
