Sold! Toronto period home goes for $280K over asking

This is one of the houses I dream of owning (if I wasn’t a broke millennial). I walk past this place almost every day and ever since I saw the 'For Sale' sign I’ve been so curious as to what it looks like on the inside, as well as how much it would sell for.

83 willcocks street torontoNow all my questions have been answered and while I definitely will never be able to afford this home, one lucky person could! So what did they get for just over $3 million?

83 willcocks street torontoThey got a gorgeous recently renovated period home in Harbord Village.

83 willcocks street torontoWhen you first walk in you're greeted by a bright spacious living area with a huge bay window that has a bit of stain glass, for that added touch of character, and a stunning fireplace.

83 willcocks street torontoI’m not a fan of the decor throughout the house, it’s a bit too beige for my taste.

83 willcocks street toronto The kitchen and family room are open concept and open up onto a beautiful back garden.

83 willcocks street torontoThe backyard has a gazebo and a lovely deck. I could see a family spending every night in the summer out here.

83 willcocks street torontoWas it worth it?

Absolutely. I mean I’m a bit biased, as I love this neighbourhood and the old homes in it, but you have to admit it’s hard to find fault in the place.
