1 day ago | blogto.com | Misha Gajewski

With the May long weekend around the corner and the weather already delivering, it’s officially almost cottage season. And while any lakefront escape outside the city is a summer win, let's be honest, there's your average cottage, and then there's 1298 Lipsy Lake Dr.This five-bedroom, five-bathroom retreat is more glass treehouse on the Canadian Shield than grandpa's old fishing shack.

If you hadn't noticed, land is hard to come by in a city like Toronto. In a city where 11-foot-wide homes or houses smaller than your average condo routinely sell for over a million dollars, it's no wonder laneway homes and garden suites are becoming all the rage. So when a full one-acre property hits the market, we're all expecting a hefty price tag. 27 Old Yonge St. is a rare find in the heart of Toronto's Hoggs Hollow, listed for $6,250,000.
Entire Toronto corner store plus three-bedroom apartment is just over $1 million

Ever since CBC's Kim's Convenience became a hit, the idea of owning a Toronto corner store has developed a certain aspirational charm. Quirky customers, a tight-knit community, and maybe a few life lessons along the way. And yes, the actual Kim's Convenience store was for sale not too long ago, but with a price tag north of $3 million, it wasn't exactly budget-friendly. But there are others available for much cheaper.

If you've ever strolled through Toronto's South Rosedale neighbourhood and found yourself admiring one of those perfectly manicured homes tucked behind ivy-covered walls, this is probably just the kind of house you were dreaming about. Located in one of the most coveted and picturesque corners of the neighbourhood, 45 South Dr. looks like it was plucked straight from a magazine spread. But exciting news, you don't just have to gaze longingly at it from the road anymore.
A 1915 Toronto home looks like something straight out of a fairytale

1 week ago | blogto.com | Misha Gajewski

While it might not be everyone's dream to live in a fairytale cottage surrounded by trees, birds, squirrels, and woodland creatures, if it's your fantasy, 42 Brookfield Rd. is the ultimate dream Toronto house. Built in 1915, according to Geowarehouse, 42 Brookfield Rd. is a magical five-bedroom, four bathroom home tucked away on a massive ravine lot. We're talking 100 feet wide at the back and almost 200 feet deep.
A 20-unit Toronto apartment building just hit the market for under $6 million

1 week ago | blogto.com | Misha Gajewski

The Toronto address of 1395 Gerrard St. E, right at the corner of Woodfield Rd., is home to a building that has had many lives and been a handsome landmark in the community. Back as far as the 1920s, the ground floor was home to The Avalon Market. It was a small grocery store that, according to local reports, had a side window where you could buy hot dogs and soft serve ice cream. How fun! In 1991, it became the Islamic Books and Souvenirs store in Toronto's rapidly gentrifying Little India.

1 week ago | blogto.com | Misha Gajewski

It may be 2025, but stepping into 6800 Second Line W. in Mississauga feels like falling headfirst into a lava lamp. This trippy time capsule appears to have been pulled straight from 1970, complete with psychedelic wallpaper. We're talking zigzag patterns that make the walls look like they're melting, linoleum tiles so loud they practically scream, and a wood-panelled basement rec room that looks ready to host a Bee Gees listening party.

Lavish townhome in 19th-century Toronto church hits market for $7.5 million

1 week ago | blogto.com | Misha Gajewski

Toronto is no stranger to church conversions, and over the years, we've seen dozens of historic sanctuaries transformed into multi-unit condos, each trying to squeeze a bit of soul into the standard boxy layouts. But the former 1888 Victorian church at Palmerston Blvd. and College St. took a very different path, thanks to custom home designer Joe Brennan. Back in 2010, Brennan persuaded the developers to ditch the condo blueprint and go with luxury townhomes instead. The result?
