Toronto Home ofโฃ Former Figure Skating Championโ Kurt Browning Sells Below Asking After Bidding War
A Toronto homeโ owned by Olympic and World figure skating champion Kurt Browning has sold for under its asking โprice after attracting two bids. The property, located on Soudan Avenue in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, listed for โข$1.795 million and ultimatelyโ sold for $1.65 million.
The sale highlights the cooling trend in Toronto’s housing market,โ particularly for properties in the $1.5 million to $2 million range. While still a notable transaction, the outcome demonstrates a shift in buyer power as interest rates remainโ elevated and inventory levels slowly rise.The homeโ was originally profiledโค by the Globe and โMail earlier this year.
The nine-year-old house boasts 2,512 square โfeet of living space, featuring an upstairs โคoffice with a skylight and glass entry doors, and a primaryโ suite with an eight-piece bathroom – the largest of five bathrooms in the home. 10-foot ceilings and full-height windowsโ define the main floor, complemented byโ a livingโ room fireplace and access to a south-facing deck from the family room.
The property includes a dining area, a kitchen with an island and stainless-steel appliances, and a finished basement with an additional bedroom and recreation area leading toโค a lower deck and hot tub. A garage is accessible via an interior entrance from the front of the 25-by-150-foot lot.
“It has 2,500 square โfeet,which is very hard to get on a 25-footer,” noted listing agent Andre Kiabi. He โalso emphasized the โhome’s โlocation โขwithin the Maurice Cody schoolโข district and โขits convenient access toโ Bayview and Mount Pleasant avenues.
