The history

A married couple raised their children here, but they’re downsizing now that the kids have gone to university.

The fate

The agent says the place is going to a “local buyer.”

The sale

Despite the high asking price, there were many showings and the property sold in just two weeks. The agent thinks the location, near the Toronto French School, might have helped. So did the sellers’ flexibility: they accepted $105,000 less than their asking price.

By the numbers

• $4,590,000 • $17,536 in taxes • 6 bathrooms • 6 parking spaces • 5 bedrooms
