The action
The house was stripped of the owner’s belongings and staged with designer furniture.Evios Media
This three-bedroom house near Wanless Park was stripped of the owner’s belongings and staged with designer furniture before hosting a series of private showings for potential buyers. Sixteen visitors came through over two days. A date had been set aside to review offers, but one party, unwilling to wait, presented an offer two days later that added $102,000 to the asking price. The sellers accepted.
“I said, ‘It was a great offer, but we’ll wait for offer night to see you,’ but this [buyer’s] agent asked what it would take, and I said, ‘$2-million,’” said agent Belinda Lelli.
“This type of house in this market is very coveted, and the price point, believe it or not, is attractive.”
What they got

This two-storey home was built in the 1930s with three bedrooms upstairs, principal rooms with ten-foot ceilings, and an unfinished basement.
The kitchen has an island and a built-in desk. There are new finishings in one of home’s two bathrooms.
A gated deck, landscaped yard and garage fill out the 25- by 125-foot lot.
The agent’s take
The house has three bedrooms and is located near Wanless Park.Evios Media
“It’s a meticulously maintained home with an EV charger, newer roof and windows, and beautiful curb appeal [with] what I like to call a ‘Trisha Romance’ porch,” Ms. Lelli said. “They redid the windows and leaded glass, so it’s brand new, but kept the classic elements of the house.
“It’s a very family-friendly street, and that part of Glenforest is really quiet; it’s not a thruway,” said Ms. Lelli.
“You can walk to Bedford Park Public School, Blessed Sacrament Catholic School or Lawrence Park Collegiate [Institute], not to mention, you’re really close to TFS, the Granite Club and Rosedale Golf Club.”
