The history

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.

The fate

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 sale

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.

By the numbers

• $1,333,000 • $5,070.37 in taxes (2016) • 1,591 square feet • 4 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms • 1 day on MLS
