Sale of the Week: The $2-million Lawrence Manor house that shows what a luxury new-build is worth
Address: 22 Carmichael Avenue
Neighbourhood: Lawrence Manor
Agent: Robert Greenberg, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage
The property: This modern new-build is a standout in a neighbourhood of suburban bungalows. Inside, there’s a fancy floating staircase, a built-in wine wall and plenty of sleek custom walnut paneling.
The history: The seller bought the lot as an investment property, then knocked down the existing house to build this one in its place. Construction finished in September, and the property went on the market in January.
The fate: The buyer bought the home for his granddaughter and her family. They plan to leave it largely unchanged. According to the selling agent, other homes in the area have also had market-friendly renovations, although complete rebuilds are still rare.
The sale: The property was on the market for just over two weeks before it attracted two competing offers. The seller went for the higher one.
