Toronto's Smallest House

Might be a repost, but I'm too lazy to search

TORONTO'S SMALLEST HOUSE IS FOR SALE ! ! !

It's nothing short of a "Glorified Tent" .. or is it?

If ...
..... You live alone or with one other person (or an extremely small dog) .. or if
..... You don't have much stuff (barely more than a homeless person) .. or if
..... You miss that cute little apartment you lived in while teaching English in Japan

THEN THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU ! !



This house, located near the intersection of Dufferin Street and Rogers Road is believed to be Toronto 's smallest house. Occupying what used to be a driveway, it's a one bedroom, one bathroom home that sits on a parcel of land 7.25 feet (2.2 meters) wide and 113.67 feet (34.6 meters) long and has an interior area of just under 300 square feet (under 28 square meters).



Here's the living room, looking towards the front of the house:


Here's the living room again, looking towards the back ..


Here's the kitchen. Note that despite the small space, they've managed to fit a washer and dryer into the place.


Here's the bedroom. It comes with a Murphy bed, which is a necessity in such a space.


And here the bedroom with the Murphy Bed retracted:


You also get some patio space out back. Here it is, looking towards the front of the house:


And here's the patio looking towards the back:

Make good use of space. There was a home down the road from where I grew up that was 500 sq. ft. Looked a lot like that one. But it sold for 800,000.

I could understand if it was Manhattan, but Toronto? WTF?!?

Probably just paying for the land.

Tear it down and build a 4 story town house and have 1200 sq ft of more usable space - just my guess.
