The seller is a real estate agent who moved to the Junction in 2005, years before gentrification brought the likes of Playa Cabana, Starbucks and Freshii to the neighbourhood. He got married and started raising his first kid in this house, which he began renovating extensively in 2013. The 20-foot-high atrium in the dining room was inspired by a Moroccan hotel. Now the seller’s family is upsizing into a detached home in midtown.
The living room has a wall of exposed brick:

The buyer is an executive in the tech industry. After living in Mississauga for years, he wanted a more downtown-focused lifestyle. He appreciated the renovations and the close proximity to High Park.
The seller listed the home himself after several real estate agents failed to sell the property at asking prices as high as $1,499,000. He set the price at $1,399,000 earlier this month and got two offers. He accepted the higher one.
