4 h. ago This $1 million Toronto house has been owned by the same family since 1949

A home at 71 Eighth St. in Etobicoke hasn't been on the market in 75 years, and I have to say, there's something incredibly special about a Toronto house that hasn't changed hands for the better part of a century.Built in 1949 and owned by the same family ever since, this two-storey mid-century gem is packed with old-school charm, original details, and just enough quirks to get your renovation gears turning without the daunting fear of a total gut-job.Tucked on a quiet corner lot in the lakeside neighbourhood of New Toronto, the house is surrounded by mature trees, including a magnolia that gives it serious storybook vibes.An aerial view of the house. The 125-foot-deep lot is a rare find in the city, and with a detached garage and private double-wide drive, you've got room for up to four vehicles (or a workshop, studio, or even a backyard sports court).The upstairs landing. Inside, the home is surprisingly spacious.The living room. The main floor ...

17 h. ago Single resident complaint could mean new Toronto bar won't get to open

A chic, sleek new bar is gearing up to open its doors in Toronto, but a complaint from one neighbour is standing in its way.Though it has yet to open its doors, Bosque, a new neighbourhood watering hole due to move in on Broadview Avenue, has already generated a fair amount of hype, largely thanks to the killer team attached to it.The new bar is the brainchild of Jared and Addis, former team members at The Wren and Lake Inez — two east-end institutions that have gained major reputations for their next-level menus and cocktail offerings.Following in the tradition of the restaurants where they cut their teeth, Jared and Addis' vision for Bosque is for the bar to be a low-key neighbourhood haunt; a space for the community to meet and gather free from the stuffy, sceney vibes that so often plague stylish new spots in the city.Though many of the finer details about what Bosque will serve are being closely held until they open, even the general con...
