Urban living is tough and sometimes making a city house feel like it is in the forest can just make a homeowner feel better about the world. But it might not help the sales figures. This Shaw 4 bed, 2.5 bath tried to score $949,000 but had to settle for $900,000 in the end. It moved quickly, though, spending only a week on the market before accepting an offer. It does have a few rooms that could work as a library, but the best one has a spiral staircase to make it feel bookish.
