This couple wanted to live in Riverdale for the neighbourhood's Victorian architecture and good schools. What did they find on a $1.2 million budget?
George Slinko, 34, who works in capital markets at CIBC, and Samantha Slinko, 30, who works in operations at a tech consultancy.Back in 2019, George and Samantha bought a two-bed, one-bath stacked townhouse in West Queen West for $646,000. By the summer of 2021, they were married, thinking of starting a family and ready to upsize. Their preferred neighbourhood was Riverdale for its Victorian architecture and good schools. “We love that the area is urban but also family friendly,” says Samantha.
”Samantha and George sent dozens of offer letters to owners of Victorian properties in Riverdale, but their efforts didn’t turn up any sellers. Five months later, in January 2022, they viewed this three-plus-one-bedroom, two-bathroom house on First Avenue—a charming street with lots of well-maintained heritage properties. It had recently been renovated and was move-in ready, which was a bonus. There was a rooftop deck but no backyard or parking.
