Woodbine Corridor (near Gerrard and Coxwell)

Closing date: December 21, 2017
This three-bedroom semi (it’s on the left, in the photo above), located a short walk south of the Danforth, near Woodbine, sits on an unusual pie-shaped lot, giving it space for future expansion. The buyers won’t necessarily have to renovate right away, though, because the home was sold in move-in-ready condition, complete with new insulation and soundproofing, a new main bathroom and a newly installed hot tub. The kitchen and flooring were redone in 2012.

Smack in the middle of the lovely (but often overlooked) neighbourhood of Swansea, this three-bedroom bungalow has easy access to both High Park and Runnymede station. This is a small home on a 25-foot lot, but the interior has some modern touches, like stainless steel kitchen appliances and stone countertops. A finished basement adds a little extra square footage. The property is currently up for rent, for $2,975 per month.

With the Scarborough Bluffs to the south, this detached home isn’t lacking in nearby green space. The spacious interior includes three big bedrooms and a large downstairs living area with a fireplace. A second-floor laundry room means the owners will never have to trek to the basement with loaded baskets, and the wide lot makes for a generous, suburban-style backyard.


56 Massey Street
Niagara (near Queen and Strachan)
List price: $925,000
Sale price: $1,100,000
Sale date: November 8, 2017

The location here is hard to beat: just half a block south of Trinity-Bellwoods Park and all the shops and restaurants of Queen West. The house itself is an unprepossessing row house on a 16-foot-wide lot with a 1970s-esque brick facade. At the time of the sale, the interior, with four bedrooms, was liveable but dated. The basement is set up as a separate suite, complete with its own kitchen.
