They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but when the cover looks like a concrete bunker, it's sometimes hard to get past first impressions.
And that first impression might be why this tiny two-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow in Old East York was such a hard sell last month.
226 Woodmount Ave. has been listed three times in the last two months.
But even if the first impression is of a very dreary, grey block of houses, it is definitely worth looking past that, because the interior of this house is very pretty.
The house is flooded with natural light and is larger than it looks.
The house was renovated in the early 2000s and the additional skylight in the kitchen gives the space a really inviting atmosphere.
The current owners have made further improvements to make the house a little more modern.
The ground floor of the house has two bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room and a winter garden that can be used for three seasons.
The master bedroom is actually large in relation to the floor space of the house.
It takes up as much space as the kitchen and dining room combined and has a walk-in closet and a private bathroom
The kitchen is sunlit and has plenty of storage space and some new appliances.
Although the mismatched cabinets are kind of confusing.
From the kitchen you enter the living room.
Next to the living room is the beautiful three-season winter garden with exit to the backyard.
The sunroom is currently used as a dining area but could easily be converted into an art studio or home office.
The backyard is a certified butterfly garden and is sure to be beautiful in the summer.
Additional living space is located in the basement with a large family room, laundry room and second bathroom.
226 Woodmount Ave. is currently listed for $1,030,000.
