ADDRESS: 70 Glenwood Avenue

NEIGHBOURHOOD: Runnymede-Bloor West Village-High Park North

AGENT: Susan Froese McHardy and Don McHardy, Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., Brokerage

PRICE: $1,389,000

THE PLACE: A restored home with great bones—and, more importantly, a finished basement—a few blocks northwest of High Park. 

BRAGGING RIGHTS: This is not the owners’ first renovation, and it shows. They’ve added a Restoration Hardware vanity to the upstairs bathroom, Caesarstone and Carrara marble to the kitchen counters, a Bertazonni gas range, and a new garage. Not to mention all the things you don’t see, like a new boiler, ductless air conditioning and updated wiring.

BIG SELLING POINT: The unfinished basement previously had six-foot ceilings (even Danny DeVito would have felt cramped down there). The owners gutted it to make an entirely new living space that stretches nine feet high, which is rare for this neighbourhood.
