2 w. ago Landmark Toronto century house for sale at $4 million or you could just rent it

Why has one of the most unique properties in downtown Toronto been sitting on the market for nearly two years?That's the question hanging over 17 Isabella Street, the historic mansion near Yonge and Bloor that seems tailor-made for investors, yet has struggled to secure its next chapter.Known as the William Britton House, the 1885 landmark offers almost 6,500 square feet of space in one of the city's most coveted neighbourhoods with endless options for transformation. One of two boardrooms in the house. The City has zoned it residential, while MPAC classifies it as a commercial condominium.
