9 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...

They ended the contest with a commanding 10-1 win.There was a bit of drama for the Jays in the sixth inning, as New York loaded the bases with Aaron Judge at the plate when the score was 2-1. However, Kevin Gausman struck him out, and the Jays escaped the inning, only allowing one run.Blue Jays batters took over in the seventh and eighth innings, pounding in eight more runs en route to the victory.This win was a long time coming for this Blue Jays core, and specifically, Guerrero."Every time we come here, we do it for the fans," Guerrero told Sportsnet's Hazel Mae after the game."My first homer here at home, that feels amazing."The Montreal-born slugger got the party started during his first at-bat, smash...

Don't expect the New York Yankees to be underestimating the Toronto Blue Jays ahead of their first-ever postseason meeting.Sure, the Blue Jays might've come into the year with muted expectations, while the Yankees were fresh off a World Series appearance.But 162 regular season games (and one Wild Card series for the Yankees) later, and it's New York who's heading into Toronto without home field advantage for the American League Division Series starting on Saturday.And the Yankees' biggest star, two-time AL MVP Aaron Judge, had kind things to say about the Blue Jays after his Yankees knocked off the Boston Red Sox in a winner-take-all Wild Card Game 3 on Thursday night."They're a complete team. They don't strike out a lot. So they're gonna put the ball in play. They're gonna force your hand on defence. We're looking forward to that. Toronto is going to be rocking. We love that," Judge said following the game, per Sportsnet's David...
