Sale of the Week: the $600,000 east-end home that shows the versatility of bungalows
Address: 438 Woodfield Road
Neighbourhood: Greenwood-Coxwell
Agent: Tim Dutaud, Royal LePage Signature Realty, Brokerage
The property: This east-end home is as open-concept as it gets: there are barely any interior walls except those surrounding the bathrooms. The hacienda-style exterior distinguishes it from its neighbours.
The history: The seller bought the place in 2009 after living in a downtown loft for 12 years. He transformed the home, built in 1933, from a three-bedroom family residence into a loft-like retreat for him and his partner, complete with exposed brick walls and granite countertops. When the pair married and started their family, they decided to trade in for a bigger abode.
The fate: New new owners plan to build up, adding another storey to the home—a common fate for bungalows in this part of town.
The sale: The house received only one offer, for $5,000 over asking. The seller didn’t have his heart set on a bidding war, so he accepted immediately.
