Everything happening in Toronto real estate this week
Dear reader, Sometimes walking down a Toronto street can make your day—or decade. In 2009, I was wandering through Moss Park when I stumbled upon it: the Victorian house from Kenny vs. Spenny. The man-baby mansion of my dreams, a go-to source of giggles throughout my idiot adolescence. It was just standing there, three blocks from my Cabbagetown apartment. Drunk on happenstance, I ran home to share the news with my roommates. A couple of years later, after the show had been cancelled, I was invited to a house party with some friends—and, lo and behold, it was at that house. Drinking tallboys on the exact floorboard where Spencer Rice once strapped a dead octopus to his scalp was an unexpected trip, but what was even more surprising was how nice the place was: exposed brick, 12-foot ceilings, a stunning solarium and not a stain in sight. That very same house is now on the market, and reporter Lindsey King details the “debauched boy palace” in Curb Appeal’s top post this week. Come for Kenny vs. Spenny nostalgia, stay for the beautiful property. Also in today’s newsletter: a $4.5-million Bellwoods restoration. Plus, a bungalow outside Guelph with two ponds and a motocross track. For all of our real estate coverage and more, visit torontolife.com or subscribe to our print edition. |

An eight-plus-two-bedroom, five-plus-one-bathroom semi south of Gerrard with a one-bedroom coach house, all of which was once the set of Kenny vs. Spenny. The main building has three storeys, three balconies and endless nods to its Victorian roots. It comes with a sauna in the basement and a koi pond out back, and just about every room has its own lounge area. With ample space, it’s ideal for an Octomom-sized family, or it could easily be split into multiple suites. |
