14 h. ago This $3 million Toronto home from the 1960s is delightfully weird

Toronto real estate has no shortage of glassy new builds and cookie-cutter flips, but every so often, a house comes along that feels like it belongs in both an architectural magazine and a fever dream.Enter 38 Purdon Dr., a ravine-side 1960s modernist with cathedral ceilings, a sunroom bar that literally glows, and a backyard waterfall fed by rainwater.From the street, you know you're not in typical North York territory.The front entrance. The façade glows pink at night, with what can only be described as dinosaur-egg decals on its exterior. And the deeper you go, the stranger it gets.The living room. Originally designed by a local architect in the mid-'60s, the home was completely reimagined in 2002 and again in 2024, fusing mid-century bones with eclectic modern finishes.The dining room. The result? About 5,000 square feet spread across three and a half levels, with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, two kitchens, and four separate entrances.The foyer.&nb...

Cassette is going to pack a serious punch in the style department, while stil...
