Love That House: Parkview Hills

It's been a while since I wrote my "Love that House" series. As the day gets longer and Spring is in sight (hopefully), real estate market is getting active again. I monitor spring market closely because this is when a lot of home owners rush to list their properties so the market is not short of gorgeous houses with quality and tasteful renovations. After a long winter, sellers are still testing the market and buyer sentiment so spring market is also good for scoring good-value properties.

I came across this 4-bed 5-bath 4500 square foot stunner on ComFree in the Parkview Hills hood at an incredible $1.4M. I couldn't believe my eyes because in the GTA that's a lot of house for that amount of money! Better yet, it's designed by HGTV's Karen Sealy Design!

A well-designed entrance sets the scene for a beautiful home. The goal is to set the tone for what lies beyond. Features like architectural symmetry, centered front door and neutral color palettes this house has will draw potential buyers in.

Two-toned kitchen cabinets are seeing their increasing popularity these days.

I wish I had known Super White granite existed when I had my kitchen counter replaced. It has all the veiny details and grey-white colors of a Statuario, and is more resilient to daily wear and tear compared to marble.

Kitchen and bath indeed sell a house. A gourmet kitchen like this shows a well-planned renovation - the type of flip potential buyers are more willing to pay extra for.

A master bedroom is not complete without his and hers closets.

A serene all-white master bathroom is after my own heart.

Master bedroom balcony: imagine wake up to this in the morning!

Ground floor family room is huge with French doors to patio and unbeatable ravine view.

This house is truly finished from top to bottom.

A house like this really makes me really wonder if I should love it, or list it?
