The sellers bought this hundred-year-old home in 2014, intending to make it their forever spot. They renovated it from four bedrooms down to three, using the extra space to create a lavish five-piece master ensuite with heated floors. But when a promotion forced them to move out of town, they had to sell.

The house had 55 agents come through for showings and 160 families visited during the open house. Of the 7 bids that come in on offer day, the sellers decided to accept the highest, which was unconditional and $377,000 over asking.
