31 h. ago Detached Toronto house is under $500,000 but there's a catch

Attention, brave souls of the Toronto real estate world: a detached house on Rhodes Ave. E. has magically appeared on the market for under $500,000. Yes, under.Of course, it's a bit of a mess. We're talking a bed in the dining room, particle board–covered windows, missing ceilings, and a basement that adults and children alike would be scared to enter.But according to the listing, it's got "potential", you just need to look past the chaos to see it. What was once probably the dining room. You'll definitely need a strong stomach and positive attitude to navigate the "needs TLC" part.The one and only bathroom that is missing part of the ceiling. From the photos, there's a lot of work to be done if you're going to keep the original structure. An air-conditioning unit is balanced over the stairs. But if you dream of being a handyman, a builder, or a renovator with a boat load of optimism, this could be a gre...

42 h. ago Here's what replaced Toronto fine dining restaurant that closed in under a year

A fine dining restaurant in Toronto has closed its doors after less than a year, and it's already been replaced.Sigh. We know that not everything's built to last, but we had a good feeling about short-lived farm-to-table restaurant The Lost Land.A collaboration between Larry Feldmeier, chef de cuisine at Chicago's Oriole, a two-Michelin-star force, Pidapipo Gelato owner Edison Xue, and chef Cesar Karanapakorn of Judaline and Florette, the restaurant came with some serious promise.Still, it opened quietly to mixed reviews before, just months later, shuttering just as quietly as it arrived.It's not all bad news, though, because, just as swiftly as The Lost Land came and went, it's already been replaced, and its usurper looks just as promising.Now, the space at 146 Yonge St. is home to Bar Filo, a stylish Italian cocktail bar and restaurant, which opened its doors at the beginning of September.The name Filo, the Bar Filo team told ...

5 d. ago These new Italian sandwich shops in Toronto are actually worth the hype

Italian-style sandwiches are all the rage in Toronto these days, with new shops popping up on the reg, but these are the ones you can't miss.Let's face it: this city has always loved its sandwiches.Perhaps it's the on-the-go nature of the downtown core that makes portable, size-effective meals extra appealing, or maybe it's just because the sandwich is a near-perfect food, but Toronto just can't get enough of them.Case in point, the absolute deluge of new Italian sandwich shops that have graced the city's culinary landscape in recent months, which, despite ample competition, have all somehow managed to earn themselves a fanatical fan base.We're firm believers that even a sandwich that's just okay is better than no sandwich at all, so, ultimately, you can't go wrong with any of them, but here are a few new sandwich shops in Toronto you absolutely have to try.Alfie's    View this post on Instagram     ...

5 d. ago Toronto is the only major Canadian city where 'rental burden' is easing

If you couldn't tell by all of the rent incentives and declining monthly rates, tenants in Ontario are breathing a little easier lately as the market cools down, especially in Toronto.Condos in particular are no longer the boon to investors that they once were, and it seems that the downturn of the city's real estate market is translating over to rentals, too, with ample supply, far less fervent demand and other factors continuing to push prices lower pretty much across the board.Multiple reports have outlined how the cost of an ordinary unit in the 6ix (and other parts of the region) has gradually decreased, most recently to $2,618 — marking a 3.3 per cent drop from this time last year — according to the most recent numbers from Urbanation and Rentals.ca.The two firms crunch the numbers each month in their joint National Rent Report, and the recently released September edition bolsters a point that other authorities have recently made: that&n...
