Blog: Toronto’s narrowest detached home selling for $750,000

It may be slim pickings when it comes to affordable housing in downtown Toronto, but this may be taking it to a new level.

Squished between two brownstone buildings at the south end of the Cabbagetown sits the city’s narrowest detached home.

And it can be yours for $750,000.

Touting a width of eight-feet, the three storey home situated on Shuter Street has two bedrooms, three bathrooms (including a sauna), and a finished basement.

According to the listing, the other attributes to this “spectacular architectural masterpiece” are a granite custom modern kitchen, a landscaped garden and the ample sunlight.

 

Here are the dimensions to the home:

• Second level Family room 3.33 m x 2.23 m
• Office 2.23 m x 1.58 m
• Master bedroom 3.33 m x 2.33 m
• Upper Level Dining room 4.88 m x 2.23 m
• Living room 4.88 m x 2.23 m
• Third level Bedroom 5.33 m x 2.23 m
• Basement Recreational, Games room 3.08 m x 1.88 m
• Main level Kitchen 4.03 m x 1.98 m
• Eating area 2.13 m x 1.98 m

 

But this isn’t the first time a smaller home has caught the eye of the media.

In 2011, Toronto’s ‘tiny home’, which was roughly the size of a shed, sold for over $100,000. The pint-size abode measured in at slightly over 300 square feet and even became a bit of a celebrity when the 2008 listing appeared on the Ellen Show.

In 2013, an adorable little 189-square-foot house on Hanson Street sold for over $200,000.
