| 97 Sherwood Ave. |
The sale in recent days of this unusual two-storey home at 97 Sherwood Ave. is drawing quite a bit of interest. It was listed for $1,324,000 and sold for $1,691,000. As many have noted, the real attraction is the lot. It is located just west of Mt. Pleasant Rd. in prime midtown and measures 44 feet by a stunning 179.4 feet. As a result, there was a bidding war with a number of offers coming from builders. The 100-year (plus) old home shows its age in the nicest of ways with that wide lot measuring well above the average of 25 to 30 feet elsewhere on Sherwood. According to the owner, the home was originally purchased in the 1930s for a $5,000. Since then, it’s housed three generations of the same family. Their understanding is that it was also the first home on the street, built where there was once a pear orchard.
