This very tiny Toronto house is currently going for $1.1 million
A small two-bedroom bungalow at 71 Lesmount Ave. in Toronto, listed for $1,088,000, is highlighted for its potential land value rather than as a move-in ready home. The property, previously rented and last sold in 2016, has not seen major updates since then, with an aging HVAC and roof. The listing suggests a rare opportunity due to the included building permit for a 4,000-square-foot home and its location in East York, a neighborhood where detached homes average $1.5 million. The article questions the value proposition considering the additional costs of building a new home and the possibility of a housing market crash.
Historic mansion in Toronto is surprisingly under $3 million
A historic mansion located at 32 High Park Boulevard in Toronto, featuring 11 units in the main house and two in the coach house, is on sale for $2,995,000. The property has been owned by the same family for 25 years, who have maintained it and its tenants. The mansion offers affordable housing with rents below market value, and the land alone is considered undervalued. The listing agent, Chandar Chaddah, emphasizes the importance of maintaining affordable housing in Toronto and suggests that the property is a long-term investment with significant land value appreciation potential.
This average Toronto home is almost $3 million because of the backyard neighbours
A bungalow located at 139 Citation Dr. in Toronto, valued at $2,750,000, is attracting attention due to its large land area of over 37,000 square feet and lack of close neighbours. The property, situated in a private cul-de-sac in Bayview Village, offers a tranquil backyard with ravine views. Despite the home's outdated interior, the realtor emphasizes the land's potential for building a dream home or an architectural masterpiece. The article also references a general distrust of neighbours in large cities, citing Statistics Canada and comparing it to American sentiments.
Huge Richmond Hill mansion with Versailles vibes drops its price by $2 million

The home sits on a 1.51-acre lot and features over 15,000 square feet of living space, including a grand foyer, salon area, family room, gourmet kitchen, heated ensuites, and a private elevator. The backyard boasts a waterfall, pool, cabana, and BBQ area. Despite its opulence, the mansion has been on the market for nearly two years without a buyer.
$4 million Toronto home inspired by 17th-century Italy
42 Berryman Street in Toronto's Yorkville neighbourhood is a $4 million home blending Victorian charm with modern luxury, inspired by 17th-century Italian architecture. Built in 2003 and renovated in 2020, it features two bedrooms, four bathrooms, and 2,000 square feet of living space. Highlights include a Bianco D'Italia porcelain slab feature wall, a custom kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a spa-like ensuite.

This very mid and dated Toronto bungalow is selling for $4 million because of grass
The Toronto real estate market is heating up, with homes selling for way over asking prices and bidding wars making a comeback. A mid-century bungalow at 59 Hill Crescent in Scarborough has been re-listed for $4 million, despite being taken off the market last year after failing to sell for $3.88 million. Listing agent Rumy Reyal explains that the price is driven by the seller's desire to avoid low-ball offers. The property, sitting on a spacious lot, is primarily valued for its land, although the house itself is well-maintained with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and multiple fireplaces. Despite the high asking price, it remains uncertain if the property will sell in the current market.

The current owner has decorated the home with art and artifacts from around the world, giving it a museum-like feel. The property includes a fully updated interior, a large kitchen, three fireplaces, and a massive backyard. A detached, heated three-car garage/workshop with a loft adds to the home's appeal.
