And another:

There’s a washer and dryer in the basement:

The sellers bought the home 25 years ago and made periodic updates: a new kitchen, veranda, windows and, most recently, garage. They’re listing now to downsize, since it’s just the two of them.
Location was a major priority for the buyer, a couple. The home’s proximity to the subway, and its move-in-ready condition, sealed the deal.
The house had about 10 showings, but the eventual buyers were so keen that they put in a bully offer right away. At $304,000 over asking, it convinced the sellers, and the house was sold in one day.
