The home next door is still under construction, but this time, it seems to be holding its ground.The front entrance and dining room. Meanwhile, the owner of 1071 Craven Rd. appears to be ready to close the chapter on living in the shadow of construction chaos and has officially listed their two-bedroom bungalow for sale.The primary bedroom. And honestly?

6 d. ago Someone is trying to sell this Toronto house with no roof for $13.6 million

In 2020, 975 Dovercourt Rd. sold for $1,450,000 as a four-bedroom, four-bathroom home with "lots of opportunity."Back then, the ground floor was home to a beauty salon, while the rest of the building was residential. But even in 2020, it wasn't exactly move-in ready — the original listing literally had "needs work!" in the description.Five years later, it seems like it still very much "needs work!"The current listing photo, which was taken before renovations began. If you walk past the home today, you'll notice a glaring lack of roof and the fact that the interiors have been completely gutted.The current owners clearly started renovating — possibly with plans to turn the place into something bigger — but somewhere along the way, the project stalled.
