The home has a wide and shallow footprint on a 50-foot-by-263-foot ravine lot.Re/Max Realtron Bill Thom Group Realty Inc.

This two-bedroom bungalow sits on a premium 50-foot-by-263-foot lot fanning outwards towards a ravine, so it quickly received an offer. Though that deal ultimately fell apart, another party inked a $2.7-million deal in early September.

“For this price range, sometimes it can take three to four months [to sell]. This took about three weeks,” agent Bill Thom said.

“There were other homes [for sale] in Bayview Village at the time, but none compared to this one’s stature in terms of quality, ravine and price.”

What they got

Massive windows run throughout the house.Re/Max Realtron Bill Thom Group Realty Inc.

This roughly 55-year-old house with an attached double garage has a wide and shallow layout with massive windows throughout, from the rear dining room to entertaining areas on the main and lower levels.

Both floors have similar layouts, with a kitchen, two fireplaces and two bedrooms on each floor.

A few years ago, a new furnace and roofing were installed, and all three bathrooms were renovated.

The agent’s take

The sloping lot makes the home appear like a two-storey structure from the back.Re/Max Realtron Bill Thom Group Realty Inc.

“The topography of the land slopes backward, so it’s like a two-storey [house] when you look at it from the back yard,” Mr. Thom said.

“It’s very unique and very modern, coupled with a huge tableland backyard on a cul-de-sac. And it’s a short walk to the subway and Earl Haig [Secondary] School, which is a very potent combo.”
