Unique Houses in Toronto

I'm surprised that this little beauty on Shaw Street wasn't mentioned either.

Just discovered this post and that house on Shaw was the first thing that sprang to mind.

I wonder if the interior is as ornamented or if it's completely banal.

You gotta love the giant satellite poking out to the left at the back of the Shaw Street monstrosity...er...I mean, little beauty. Then again, I'm guessing aesthetics aren't top of the list for this household...ho ho ho.

I wonder how much value the house next door has lost as a result of this place. I know I wouldn't buy next to this house.

 

[Lilibet]

I too wouldn't want to live next door to that and see it everyday, but y'know there's something for everyone out there and no doubt someone would find it appealing. That said, given it's location I'm sure it wouldn't devalue or put off the majority of buyers for homes surrounding it (and having used the phrase "that said" I'm now snickering to myself over an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm" that makes fun of that very phrase).

Yes, but do you "respect wood"? (Curb Your Enthusiasm finale)

Indeed I do. No rings to be found in my house
Hilarious. Love that show.

Unfortunately I think that house uses glow-in-the-dark paint...

That's modest but memorable. Unfortunately the new Home Depot house number plate and doors don't match the original idea.

Just read through this forum for the first time. I live just down the street and thought this might be of interest:
