Among the attractions of this two-bedroom, 1½-storey brick home is the 149-foot-deep lot with an English perennial garden, and the abundance of custom cabinetry.Ten offers were submitted, pushing the price up to slightly more than $50,000 above asking for what listing agent Jill Stewart calls a home that resembles a "sophisticated cottage." She should know: She owned the house.

"There was a whole wall of leaded-glass windows on the main floor," she says, referring to an attractive cabinet along the wall of the dining room that stretched from the floor to the ceiling. "The built-ins [hand-crafted, wood-and-glass cabinetry painted white] were all very elegant." The home has lots of oversized windows with white California shutters. The kitchen is nicely lit with halogen fixtures, has high-quality white cabinetry, and looks out to the brick patio in the backyard.

The basement recreation room has more built-in cabinetry to house home-entertainment equipment.

The home has a single detached garage. Royal LePage Real Estate Services (Jill Stewart)
