Detached Toronto home sells for $602,888 over asking (PHOTOS)

Despite reports by the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board that sales in the GTA are down by 18% (compared to January last year), demand for housing is at an all-time high — and that’s apparent from the recent sale of a North York home.
Located in the St. Andrews-Windfields neighbourhood, 38 Hopperton Drive was initially listed for $1,999,000.
However, after just five days on the market, it was snagged for $2,601,888, 30% over the asking price.

The detached home features three bedrooms, one den, four bathrooms, and no less than three fireplaces. It’s also centrally air-conditioned.
The modern-looking open-concept kitchen has stainless-steel appliances and a convenient kitchen island complete with a sink. The island is constructed with a dark wooden exterior, which goes well with the cozy-looking dark hardwood floor and the tiled dark walls adjacent to the countertops.
There’s also soft overhead lighting bordering the top cabinets.

It’s also just minutes from Bayview Village Shopping Centre as well as Bridle Path-Sunnybrook-York Mills, Willowdale East, and Bedford Park Nortown.

It also features enough parking space for six cars — two of the spaces are covered and four are uncovered.
Oddly enough, considering the average price of a home in the area, it seems like a great deal.
According to the listing, homes in St. Andrew-Windfields are listed for an average of $5,681,922 — five times the average list price of $1,126,840 in Toronto.
