It's a done deal for this three bedroom, two bathroom house near Avenue Road and Eglinton. The open concept house on 56 Shields Ave. was listed at $1.049 million but got scooped up in less than forty-eight hours, over asking at $1.1 million. The completely renovated house blends old with new as the owners kept the original brick exterior and gutted the inside for an open-concept living space. There's a master suite with a walk-in closest and potential for a rental unit in the basement. The agent refers to the renovated basement as a possible "in-law apartment," which is actually a lot nicer than it sounds with hardwood floors and a full piece bathroom. There are great schools in the area including Allenby Public School (whose parents are currently petitioning to save their school), and lots of shops walkable to Eglinton.
