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.
