CO-OP AGENTS Philip Griffiths and Jane Fedosiewich, Majestic Properties (Canada) Inc.

The Action: Clients of agent Philip Griffiths and Jane Fedosiewich weren't house hunting, but the listing for this detached, Etobicoke bungalow just doors from a family member, pushed them to battle several buyers for it last year.

What They Got: This more than 50-year-old, brick residence on a 42-by-180-foot lot contains a classic living room, separate kitchen, one bathroom and two bedrooms – both with hardwood floors and one with a walkout to a deck, fenced garden and detached garage – plus a lower-level recreation room.

The Agent's Take: "It is a very quiet and family-friendly neighbourhood within walking distance to the Kipling subway station," Mr. Griffiths says. "In this pocket, there are a lot of new builds happening as the lot sizes allow to build a larger home."

Though this property is 30-feet deeper than the average, the buyers are satisfied with the home's current state. "It's in original condition, but it's in good shape," Mr. Griffiths says. "The lot is extremely deep, so it's very attractive, and behind it is a park, so there's no one behind you."
