11 h. ago This Toronto home for sale hasn't changed hands for half a century

The last time 13 Cliff St. was up for sale, it was 1975.Canada had just switched to the metric system. Wearing a seatbelt had only recently become law in Ontario. And the CN Tower? 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...

Ontario isn't exactly a destination for tropical beaches, but if you search close enough, there are a few locations in the province that can (almost) make you feel like you've been transported to far-off vacation getaways.Tropical escapes sound far-fetched for a part of the world known for harsh winters, but it's true.

That's&n...
