Trendy, trendy, trendy, trendy.

A real joke to write "Good, also, for those with an appreciation for history" given that virtually every stick of the interior which had any history has been hauled away to a landfill. But since modernist gut-jobs hiding behind vintage facades are all the rage these days, this sort of thing keeps getting accolades....and the big selling bucks. It's as if we've been catapulted back into the 1950s, but with less Angelstone.

Seriously, people, if you want modernism please do it honestly: buy some nondescript suburban bungalow, send in the bulldozers, and start from scratch.]]>

Absolutely stunning. If anyone commenting here had the opportunity to actually stand in this space for even half a second, they'd understand that the pictures don't come close to doing it justice.  Every detail is so well crafted, high end to the last inch.  Beautiful flow and overall design.  This place is a gem and worth its salt on the market at over a million.

It's truly lovely and I hope whoever bought it appreciates how fortunate they are to have such an amazing place.  I hope they're happy there - I would be!!]]>

Then take the $1.5mil price tag and deduct 5% (plus HST) for the real estate agents who do very little for $75,000 ($84,750 incl HST). The owner/builder/developer ends up with around $1.4mil and only IF the house sells for full asking price.

Basically, a break-even scenario. 

Run-down houses at $900k... Renovated houses at $1.5mil... it's all crazy, but that's real estate. Look at what apartments sell for in New York City if you want to feel better about the housing prices in Toronto.

Gotta love all these 'real estate pundits' who think they know what they're talking about...

Houses in this area of the city in 'original' condition sell for $800k-$900k. Add another $400k-$500k for a total gut job reno and this house is worth $1.3mil-$1.4mil]]>

No worries. Robyn gives EVERY place she "reviews" a bad rap. I'm still waiting to see one she actually likes. I really get the impression she writes these because she is envious of homeowners and it's her way of making herself feel better as she never answers ANYONE when they ask just what if anything she LIKES!]]>

Its a pot filler, so when you're cooking you just put the pots on the stove to get your desired water. Everyones hating on the place, but it sold with multiple offers. Good luck finding a renovation with the quality you would have found here. The builder is one of Torontos most best. Bottom line, it seems like a lot of people who dont work are giving this place a bad wrap.]]>

People, including Robyn seem to be so hostile about this for no other real reason than the fact that they can't and probably will never be able to afford it. Yes it is not the million dollar plus mansion you envision when you're a child, but that is a fantasy that doesn't exist in Toronto anyways.

I happen to know another person who lives on this street in a home that was renoed to become upscale, so it's obviously the beginning of a overhaul to the neighbourhood in general. Don't be sour over the gentrification that is naturally going to occur in a very central part of the city.]]>

For the price, being squished in on both sides seems somewhat unreasonable. I lived in a similar house in this area, and although it was semi-detached, when the 3 girls who shared the neighbouring house had a party, it was pretty annoying. 

On the other hand, if you think of this as an option to a $1.5 million penthouse down the street, I think I'd prefer this place.]]>

I'd also like to add that, this place is grossly over priced at 1.5 mil. 

A house like this should sell for around 990k 

Looks like the sellers are looking to hit a home run with this home in a hobo-wanderer area of the city. 

A great place for kids! ]]>

Not quite sure where all of you live, but 16 feet wide is actually pretty norm for downtown. Row houses usually tend to be even less, more like the 12-14 variety.
Not a ridiculous price for that neighbourhood. Saw a pre-reno gut job of a row house on Euclid sell for 800+.
Taxes obviously have yet to be reassessed. ]]>

bad eclectic mix of styles. corner moldings, cheap condo-style glass railings, brutalist wood stair details, LEON's furniture lighting, a suburban kitchen (with aforementioned granite - @Tim W, and out-of place brick/exterior treatment.

The wood on the decking in the back is almost brand new

Therefore I believe this is a new new new reno

Therefore I believe the $4658 property tax rate is pre-reno

Whoever buys this will be pleasantly kicked in the nuts upon reassessment.]]>

Also, the back facade is beyond hideous.

Looks like a half assed Home Depot reno.

That alone makes this place not worth a million.

ALSO:  my house: 13 feet wide
This joint: 16 feet wide.
MORE BULLSHIT]]>

LOL, Little Bishop - Hardly ikea style, I can spot a pile of stuff from up country which i'm not sure if you've been into but is a little better than ikea...
There is also some much larger houses on the southern part of brunswick - you should go one day...
Great pad, annex is nice, however i'd rather get a better house in high park, where the air is a little fresher ]]>

This house 
-Prime prime prime Annex location
-3 floors
-bigger than my house
-4 full bathrooms
-full garage
-2 decks
-selling for 1.4 mill

Property tax: $4658

My house:
-South of Harbord on Borden in pretty average Little Italy/Portugal
-no 3rd floor
-less square footage
-2 full bathrooms
-carport, not a garage
-1 deck
-property tax assessed value at 900+

My property tax: Over $6000

THAT IS ENORMOUS F*CKING BULLSHIT OF THE HIGHEST ORDER

Their reassessment had better crank their property tax well well above mine or I'll be p*ssed.]]>

Your comment on seemingly low taxes is well taken.
However property taxes are calculated on the "existing property". 
When those $4658 taxes were set this was an old row house.
Now that it's been gutted and reno'd, the taxes will change; but probably not until the next appraisal, which may take years.

16 frontage? No front private driveway (backyard lane-way parking has its own issues, for me never again) for $1.5 mill?  I don't know Annex market but I'm willing to bet you can easily save huge bucks purchasing neighbor and renovating on your own and to your own taste.
Interior - I need more than IKEA style for $1.5 mil.
Honestly I would never do Townhouse or Semi again.
Even with wide angle lens this house looks too narrow.
Another builder over extended?
Also its Brunswick so busy street and I'm sure this is one of best houses.
A terraced house near University, recipe for many a sleepless nights--noise, noise, noise.]]>

 The house is amazing. stairs are sick,very well done. Your a douche if you don't think its absolutely stunning. If you wanna see ridiculously priced homes check out forest hill, the price tag would be 4 mill + if it was in that neighbourhood. ]]>

Beautifully done.  Just can't get over the price tag when your house is literally attached to other people's houses on both sides.  Not to mention, Bloor, between Spadina and Bathurst, is hardly a hot bed of high-brow culture (what would appeal, I'd imagine, with those who have $1.5M to drop on a row house).]]>

Property tax in this city is an absolute joke. Not even $5k a year for a property listed at almost $1.5 million. Some quick math shows the property tax rate for this listing at 0.003%. Wow. A very desirable neighbourhood might I add, close to basically everything this city has to offer, you aren't exactly out in the sticks.
Just pathetic.

Otherwise it's a great looking house, wish I could afford it.]]>
