Toronto's Smallest House Up For Sale


Toronto's Smallest House is Up for Sale;

If....
a.. You live alone or with one other person (or an extremely small dog!!!)
b.. You don't have much stuff (barely more than a homeless person!!)

c.. 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 house that sits on a parcel of
land 7.25 feet (2.2 metres) wide and 113.67 feet (34.6 metres) long and has
an interior area of just under 300 square feet (under 28 square metres).
The asking price is $179,900.!!!!



Here's another look at the front:



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



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



Here's the kitchen looking towards the back of the house.

Note that despite the small space, they've managed to fit a washer and dryer into the place:



Here's the bedroom, looking towards the back of the house.

It comes with a Murphy bed, which is a necessity in such a space.

This is what it looks like with the Murphy bed down:



...and here's the bedroom (looking towards the front of the house) 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 it is looking towards the back:



Here are the house's listed features:

a. "Completely Re-Done Top-To-Bottom, Front-To-Back!"
b.. Tumbled stone entrance walk
c.. Renovated Bath
d.. Renovated kitchen with newer stove, new cabinets and new stacked washer/dryer
e.. Bedroom with Murphy bed + "Built-Ins" - doubles as den!
f.. Walk-out to fenced patio
g.. 100-amp service
h.. 2 satellite dishes and receiver

10. I wish I could see the other pictures.
I am curious on how anyone fits in 300 sqft. My home is only 700sq ft and it seems "just right" for a single man & a few dogs. Less than half the space would be a challenge.

17. Those really are cool.
If I ever buy any land in the distant, distant future, one of those would be pretty neat to have around.
