8 h. ago Stunning restored Ontario house built in 1850s hits the market for $4 million

If you've spent any time in Milton, Ontario, you've probably heard of The Judge's House. And if the name doesn't ring a bell, the sight of it almost definitely will.Perched on over half an acre at 57 Victoria St., this historic Victorian manor has long been one of the town's most recognizable homes.Originally built in 1856, it was first owned by Dr. William Hume and later purchased by Judge Thomas Miller in 1868 — hence the nickname.The living room. Over the years, locals have referred to it as Felsgarth Manor, The Judge's House, or The Doctor's House, depending on who you ask.The front porch. The home's striking Georgian-inspired architecture — symmetrical, formal, and built from handmade Flemish bond brick with buff-coloured accents — has always stood out.The family room. But by the time it was bought in 2022, it was, well… a little rough around the edges.Custom arched doorways tie in the Victorian theme with ...

6 d. ago Mind behind Toronto's latest viral food obsession always knew it'd be a hit

The entrepreneur behind Toronto's viral new self-serve acai bowl concept has been blown away by the response, but he always knew it would be a hit.You can't visit Stackt Market this summer without finding the entire place flooded with a sea of visitors armed with forest green cups full of brilliant indigo fro-yo.Where are they coming from? Look no further than Haydn's — the unit that, more often than not, will boast a line snaking out the front door and around the corner.To say that the self-serve acai bowl and frozen yogurt concept has made a splash in Toronto ever since it opened in early June of 2025 would be a major understatement. Within the space of a month, it's become one of the most sought-after spots in the city, with eager eaters happily opting to line up for anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes just to get their hands on it.Founder Haydn Wain-Lowe told us that the response has been nothing short of "incredible," though, when the vision for the s...

2 w. ago Tiny Toronto house that could pass as a garden shed selling for $600K

The last time 4 Lucy Ave. hit the market, it was listed as a two-bedroom, one-bathroom home — which already felt like a stretch for a house that clocks in at under 500 square feet.Still, it sold for $430,000 in 2019, a solid $30K over asking.Now it's back—this time with three bedrooms (somehow), the same one bathroom, and a new price tag of $599,888.The living room. You might assume they added an extension. They didn't.The kitchen. Maybe some sleek renovations? Nope.The laundry. In fact, comparing the new listing photos to those from 2019, things look... worse.A bedroom. The front door appears to be buckling, the roof is sagging, and inside, it's giving "dormitory-meets-doomsday-bunker" vibes.Another bedroom. There are five beds crammed into the tiny house, which may even violate Toronto's occupancy bylaws (one person per nine square metres of habitable space, for those keeping track).The basement that has been turned in...

2 w. ago No one is building condos in Toronto anymore as market hits 20

Almost every piece of data that has emerged about Toronto real estate in the last year-plus has served as a disheartening blow to anyone with a stake in the market, as the city's once-scorching sector has slowed to a crawl — and keeps waning further.The latest analysis, published by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) on Monday, reinforces that the country's new condo market specifically is in a state of deep turmoil, especially in locales like Toronto and Vancouver, where the housing type has long been a boon to investors.The national housing agency says that as of May, housing starts nationwide have fallen slightly from this time last year, mostly driven by "weak condominium market conditions" in both Toronto and Vancouver that have pulled the stats for these hubs down drastically below this national average.The west coast city broke ground on 10 per cent fewer homes over the co...

And I think everybody knows the way this is going to be heading — that on July 1, he's gonna go out there, he's going to hit the market, he's going to pick a team, he's going to set a contract, and he's not coming back to Toronto," Friedman said.The sports journalist added the Anaheim Ducks, Carolina Hurricanes, Los Angeles Kings and Vegas Golden Knights as possible teams interested in Marner, who is coming off a six-year deal worth $10.93 million USD per season.FanDuel Sports Network's Andy Strickland had...

A rare Toronto real estate opportunity has hit the market on Eastern Ave. between Laing and Knox, and it's serving up double trouble.Dubbed "The Twins" (yes, like The Shining, but make it real estate), these side-by-side semi-detached homes are being marketed not just as houses, but as a vision.Primarily because of their current state of disrepair. A utility room. 874 and 876 Eastern Ave. are tiny one-bedroom half houses that are as scary as the twins from The Shining. Exposed insulation in the basement. The roof is sagging, the floorboards are missing, the ceilings are coming down, there's mould on the walls, and there's exposed wiring and insulation. A living room. But since 874 and 876 Eastern Ave. are zoned as "legal non-conforming residential," a term for grandfathered properties that would not be up to code if built today, they're due for a makeover. A bathroom. These two homes are now being ...
