Garage overload

[Rocket1k78]

My bros place is the Hardie board and the neighbors was siding and from afar you really cant tell between the 2 so that kinda sucks being that its that much more. The big difference though is the aftermath of that last hail storm, the neighbors house was destroyed and my bros doesnt even have a dent.

Hardly a selling feature. His wise choice means that he is going to be subsidizing his neighbours' new siding for years to come.

Always wanted to see how this one looks......

28 Inverness Cove SE... 4 car garage, big bonus room looks like it and a swimming pool in the backyard.

You'd think that it would be but you're right because he didnt even know he had that until after the hail storm, there was no mention of it in his listing when he bought it.

Seeing some of these makes me want to look into garages built into hillsides. I have a 20% grade on my driveway now which would require a complete tear down if I ever wanted a reasonable approach/departure, and at that point might as well dig further under the front yard.

Went to this open house in North Haven the other day - dream garage

https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/2...ry-north-haven

A double detached that's 35'x23 and a double attached that's 32'x22' with a 12' ceiling.

It's open house today

Incredible location. My inlaws live nearby.

[JfuckinC]

Wow that’s the perfect setup!

[Ekliptix]

Beautiful house on the inside. Great everything. Too bad it's in the North.

If I'm reading the honestdoor info correctly, they bought that lot for $450,000 in Jan 2018, then tore it down and built this place. That 2nd detached garage must have already been there, because no developmer would spend the extra money for that I think.
So hard to assess "value" but I think it's a pretty compelling package in one of the better "near north" areas.

There was a discussion on this couple pages back. It looks like the detached garage was already there, and they just gutted the house + built an extension rather than a full tear-down. I guess this still qualifies it as new-build as per the spec in the listing?

It's honestly a beautiful house, but there were a few deal breakers for us. No pantry and no properly vented hood range in the kitchen (we cook lots), zero landscaping and trees, sloped backyard so hard to make a good patio space, and no good flow between indoor and out door. Price is also wayyyy too high. We are definitly keeping an eye on this one to see what it will eventually sell for...

I talked to the owner before, they did a full-teardown of the house, didnt keep a thing.

Then I don't think it was smart they built a bungalow when everyone is eyeing for 2 storey...
I guess it was mainly a budgeting or permit issue.

[RX_EVOLV]

oh you are right. Here's a back view from google street view.

[RX_EVOLV]

What do you guys think something like this would cost? $350/sqf AG? We like the idea of having a larger lot with a walk-out basement and massive garage(s) that backs onto a park with view.


$450K (Lot) + $300/sqf X 2250sqf + $30K Detached Garage + $?? demolition (old house) = $1.2M?

wtf is with no ventilation for the stove? I guess maybe it is down draft as I think it's a requirement for gas? No thanks. Not that I'm in the market for anything ahaha. Love the garages but not the postal code.

Will the city approve a triple on a 50x125 lot or am I dreaming? House is a small bungalow.

45% of land coverage, so depends on the size of the hoouse.
