And yet, it somehow still has the audacity to ask almost $800,000 for an unliveable house.120 Castlefield Ave. is literally falling apart — but because it's in Toronto’s coveted Allenby neighbourhood, it's still considered valuable.At one point, this house was probably fine. It's a classic three-bedroom, one-bathroom semi-detached with original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and a fireplace.

Freshly finished and not yet surrounded by condos.A lot has changed in the last 50 years — but step inside this three-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow, and it feels like time hit pause somewhere around the era of disco and Tang.The dining room. There's muted linoleum flooring in nearly every room, honey oak trim throughout, and original millwork galore.The foyer. Miraculously, no popcorn ceilings — so, you win some, you lose some.The kitchen. In short, this place is going to need some updating.The family room with exposed brick walls. But if you can look past the aggressively '70s aesthetic, 13 Cliff St. has a lot going for it.The basement kitchen. For starters, it sits on a rare double lot and boasts a finished basement with a separate entrance, second...
