Good morning, good evening, and good afternoon. This is your podcast story.
Your wonderful property in the East York community is the subject of the latest
episode of my home history podcast,
and this allows you to hear the stories that have made your property so historic.
So let's get started with some basic details, just to make sure that you have
all of this information.
Your home was built in the roaring 20s, 1928 to be specific.
It was listed at that time, or is listed at this time, as a three-bedroom, one-bath home.
Now, obviously, over the years, that configuration may have changed.
In fact, the plans, surveys, and easements that we have for this property actually go back to 1914.
And just to give you a little bit of entertainment as we talk about the history
of your property, I also like to do a little bit of a news recap.
So here is some of the headlines from 1928. In March of 1928,
Eileen Volek is the first Canadian woman to get a pilot's license.
In March, Samuel Bronfman acquires control of Joseph Seagram and Sons Limited.
And in August, in Quebec, the Attorney General prohibits dog racing in the province of Quebec.
These are just a few stories from 1928, just to give you sort of a reference
point of where your property started.
According to my records, and I've got records for this property that go back
to the 90s that I've got available, And I can by all means, send these to you for review.
But of course, the ownership records with the with the city are going to go much further back.
And when I do pull up these listings, and I'm able to show you not just the
property, but also the names of the previous owners, it sort of gives you a
little bit of a storyline.
And you'll notice that some of the names might even be familiar.
And if they're not familiar to you, they might be familiar to others,
perhaps that live on the street.
And part of the charm and part of the magnetic elements of this podcast is that
when others listen to it and they're in the area that you're in.
And if your property has one of my this house has a podcast lawn signs and people
listen to it very often they have stories to add to that and that's one of the best parts,
about creating these home history podcasts and this house has a podcast series
uh very similar but the history part kind of goes a little bit more into detail in terms of history.
On your property as well, you may or may not know, but there are two easements
listed on your property.
So for that reason, it's very important for you to know what the PYB reports are.
These These are called the Protect Your Boundaries reports.
These are essential reports for buyers, for sellers, and there's also a report
specifically for easements.
And it's important, especially in East York, if you live in East York,
you'll understand that there are more easements and mutual drives and more.
Complications, let's just say, with land sizes and property lines than just
about anywhere that I've been aware of.
And I've sold homes all across the province. So I understand that there are
definitely more details.
And this is why it's so important to have someone who has reviewed thousands
of these reports and still does on a weekly basis.
And homes on your street have always been in high demand, as you may know,
seeing as you moved in just a few years ago.
But the fact is, you've got this wonderful, almost century home.
And my hope is that you are able to enjoy it and understand everything that you can about it.
And by all means, if you have not booked your time to have me walk through,
to do a complete analysis of the property, to give you an idea of if there are
any different ages of the home.
In some cases, there are kitchens added after the property was built or additions.
Second story additions, things like that.
And there are clues within the property that allow us to determine what those
changes or what those additions might have been,
depending on the construction and depending on materials used,
a whole bunch of different things that factor into that.
So I hope this podcast has been helpful for you. Thank you so much for requesting
your home history report.
And I will gladly send you all of the additional paperwork should you want to
review more of it whenever you're ready. Thanks for tuning in.
