DAYS ON THE MARKET One

LISTING AGENTS Douglas and Trevor Freeman, Freeman Real Estate Ltd.

The Action: Virtually around the corner from Carrville Mills Public School in a relatively new subdivision in Vaughan, this detached house swiftly received two offers on the day it appeared on the market in April.

What They Got: Nearly 3,100 square feet of living space lies behind the brick façade of this two-storey residence on a lot that's 45 feet wide and 85 feet deep.

Inside, there are open living and dining areas and a library off a rear family room with a gas fireplace, as well as an eat-in kitchen with custom cabinetry, hardwood floors and Caesarstone-topped island.

Quiet quarters consist of four carpeted bedrooms, including two with private bathrooms and the larger one with a walk-in closet, plus a guest bedroom off an open recreation area in the 1,237-square-foot basement.

Large families will enjoy the perks of having a total of five bathrooms, upper-level laundry facilities, a central vacuum system and interior access to a double garage.

The Agent's Take: "Thornhill Woods is a very attractive area and nice community with good schools," agent Trevor Freeman said. "It was a large home that offered a very good layout with a large kitchen open to a large family room overlooking the backyard, a breakfast area and main-floor office, all space that provided core space for the family to live in and enjoy together."

But the property's defining feature was its finishes. "The house was updated throughout each room and each floor," Mr. Freeman added. "A lot of those properties are very similar, but when you start adding granite counters, crown mouldings, custom closet organizers and pot lights – all the extras that are done after the fact – that's what really draws people."
