3 h. ago Trippy Ontario house that looks like a 1970s time capsule is going for $4.5M

It may be 2025, but stepping into 6800 Second Line W. in Mississauga feels like falling headfirst into a lava lamp.This trippy time capsule appears to have been pulled straight from 1970, complete with psychedelic wallpaper.We're talking zigzag patterns that make the walls look like they're melting, linoleum tiles so loud they practically scream, and a wood-panelled basement rec room that looks ready to host a Bee Gees listening party.The foyer. This home has never been on the market before, so it's no surprise it's in need of some serious modernization.The dining room. But if you can see past the retro riot of textures and colours, there's actually a ton of potential here.The land. Not only does the home offer four bedrooms and four bathrooms, but it sits on nearly an acre of land.So much room for activities. According to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, half of that could be subdivided into two separate lots, each measuring a s...

I only bring it up because Garth and Rebecca Bigelow, who own Muskoka-based vacation rental venture Unique Stays, have found a similar sense of peace in the whole 'wellness' thing, a...
