I’ve seen worse. This I could live with! I like it when they at least try to keep the original exterior of the home instead of bulldozing it over and building a modern monstrosity next to all those smaller older homes with character.
I've been looking at these older homes hoping to see some older charm. None of them have been restored, only renovated. This is a century home, yet everything is painted white to include the beautiful woodwork and moldings. It seems impossible to find a house that still has the integrity of a hundred years ago.
I want to know the ballpark price of a house like this in Toronto. I find it so interesting how prices of homes vary so greatly from city To city in Canada.
How is the backyard a deal breaker? It’s not like it’s covered in weeds, and it has a nice seating area. Do you expect an expansive backyard in an urban neighborhood?
mikvas Then you should confine your home search to the suburbs where you’re most likely to find that, instead of looking at a home in an urban neighborhood and complaining about it.
I hate how people buy beautiful character houses then rip the character out of them , really pisses me off. If you want a contemporary house buy a new build
It sold for $3.5 million, what's funny Is I grew up in a 6,000 square foot 1900's home and it cost my parents $125,000 In 2000, it had 7 bedrooms, 1.5 baths giant rooms, 4 fire places, 4 floors, huge backyard, etc and we sold it in 2010 for $141,000 lmao. We lived only 4 hours from Toronto!
Per the front exterior architect, I'm guessing the house was built in the early 1900's. It speaks of a rich intact history. Well maintained. The rear of the exterior did not marry the front, but overall the interior was just dripping in beauty.
