There are formal dining and living rooms, a total of three bathrooms and recreation space in the basement.The roof and wiring were replaced recently, and interiors finishes were updated in the 1970s.“Shannon is a street lined with great, big, old Victorians, and probably half of them have been renovated,” Ms. Tripp said. “Neighbouring properties have sold for $4-million.”
“Other than replacing the bathrooms and kitchen floors, you didn’t have to move interior walls because the floor plan was good and the hallways were wide, so you just had to bring in a new colour palette.” A double garage on the 25- by 121-foot lot was also a prized asset. “You can put in a big, laneway house,” Ms. Tripp said.
