Sale of the Week: The Bathurst Manor house that sold $500,000 over asking
Listed At
$1,199,900

$1,700,000

Address: 26 Overbrook Place

Neighbourhood: Bathurst Manor

Agent: David Soberano, Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc., Brokerage

The Property: A spruced-up six-bedroom with a ravine in its backyard.

The History: The sellers bought the house five years ago for $820,000. Now, they’re leaving for a larger property in the Balmoral area. They didn’t complete any major renos before deciding to move out, but they added some fresh paint, new carpeting and improved landscaping. They also installed a new furnace and roof, and did a little updating in the basement and bathrooms.

The Fate: The house sold almost $500,000 over asking after a week and a half on MLS. The buyers were looking for a family home. The lush ravine at the rear of the house sealed the deal for them.

The Sale: The sellers listed the property at $1,199,900, hoping to get at least $1.5 million. While they were on vacation, there was a bully offer for $1.65 million. They declined. Their agent went back to the buyers’ agent and demanded $1.7 million or nothing.

By The Numbers:

  • $1,700,000
  • $6,294.95 in taxes (2016)
  • 4,300 square feet
  • 10 days on MLS
  • 6 parking spaces
  • 5 bedrooms
  • 5 bathrooms

The house has spiral-ish staircase in the foyer:
