The Action: Clients of agents Cameron Weir and Scott Hanton had their hearts set on personalizing a home in a small pocket just west of Mount Pleasant in Moore Park and were prepared to pay $201,100 more than the asking price for this semi-detached house .

What They Got:This 2,495-square-foot property on a coveted street with less than three dozen properties was built circa 1910, but received some updates over the years, from new windows to maple hardwood floors.

The layout remains traditional with a large foyer, a fireside living room, a formal dining area and a kitchen with a pantry and a walkout to a fenced-in garden with mature trees and a separate studio with sliding entry doors and insulated walls.

The second floor has three bedrooms, as well as laundry facilities and one of three bathrooms, and the third floor has two more bedrooms. To store large items, there is an unfinished basement and parking area at the front of the 26-by-150-foot lot.

The Agent's Take:"[The buyers] have been very drawn to that particular street because it's a treed, quiet street," Mr. Weir said. "It's a huge lot and a beautiful house."
