THE ACTIONAgent JoAnne Gludish sold a three-bedroom bun-

galow on a 50-foot-by-140-foot lot for $908,000 on Nashland

Avenue in late May, which made it easy to gauge the level of

demand for this bungalow with the same bedroom count

and lot size just two doors away. Any bids were slated for re-

view on a set date late June, but one buyer didn’t wait.

“There has been very little [inventory] on the whole mar-

ket,” Ms. Gludish said. “The pre-emptive offer came in and we

took it because it was non-conditional and an early closing.”

WHAT THEY GOTThis brick bungalow with an attached garage is

within a 10-minute walk of Glen Agar and West Deane Parks

and has its own private outdoor space around the back.

Inside, there is an eat-in kitchen and traditional living

and dining rooms with crown mouldings and hardwood

floors.

The basement has a guest room and recreation area with

a gas fireplace, plus a wet bar and workshop.

THE AGENT’S TAKE“The house itself was dated, but it was clean

and a nice size bungalow in a really good neighbourhood,”

said Ms. Gludish, who says the area is known for “good

schools and easy transportation.”

The property also holds great potential. “It’s great starter

home for a young family, or as the area gets redeveloped,

they’ll top them up or take them down to build bigger

houses,” Ms. Gludish said.

“This has a nice size lot because a lot of them are just 120

[feet deep].”

THE ACTIONIn a section of Etob-
icoke near the Toronto Golf Club,
several detached homes were
available for about $1.1-million in
June. But some of those needed
major repairs, which made this
updated semi-detached home a
desirable alternative.
“We had one pre-emptive offer
we did not accept, so we waited
for the open houses on the week-
end and took offers on Monday,”
agent Jody Thompson said.
“It looked like we were going

to have multiple [bids], but one

buyer came in with a slam dunk.

And we’re seeing that quite a bit

lately.”

WHAT THEY GOTThis three-bed-

room home sits at the front of a

25-foot-by-125-foot lot, effectively

hiding a private yard, shed and

garage at the rear.

In recent years, the roof and

windows were replaced and the

1960s decor stripped out for new

hickory hardwood floors

throughout, three modern bath-

rooms and a glass-lined staircase

to the bedrooms.

The living and dining areas

are combined but separated

from a stylish kitchen with

quartz counters and stainless

steel appliances.

Renovations were also done

in the basement, which has its

own kitchen, recreation area and

side exit to a mutual driveway.

THE AGENT’S TAKE“There’s a lot of

space in there,” Mr. Thompson

said. “The seller gutted it to the

studs.”

There’s also no shortage of

amenities nearby. “Down the

street, you can go right into a

park and walk all the way

through green space to another

park right on the lake,” Mr.

Thompson said.

“And you can walk to one of

the popular pubs down the

street, so that’s another bonus.”
