This Toronto home hasn't been on the market since the 60s
Gracing the market for the first time in over 55 years, is 1356 Davenport Rd.
This property is filled with opportunity and possibility – more so for renovation enthusiasts since the home is still very much trapped in the late 1960s.
The kitchen and bathrooms are the most obvious sign that this home hasn't been updated in a while.
The oak cabinets in the kitchen with the melamine green counters and the strange tiles in the bathroom are dead giveaways of the age.
But if even if you're not a fan of the vintage decor, you'll see a canvas for creativity.
The spacious semi-detached home, boasts an expansive 25-foot width, which offers plenty of opportunity to customize it.
Whether it's changing up the layout or working within the existing footprint, the home has good bones.
From the original wood floors and wood trim, to the big windows and tall ceilings, there's plenty to work with.
Furthermore, you can't really beat its location. Situated in a highly coveted neighbourhood, it boasts proximity to esteemed schools, serene parks, and convenient shopping amenities.
Now if you're not ready for a full reno and if you're into the retro vibe, this home is also advertised as move-in ready.
As the listing states: "Simply bring your personal belongings and start living the life you've always wanted!"
So really, the choice between curating your dream space or stepping into a move-in ready home is yours to make.
Regardless, the best part of this home is that it's priced to sell.
Originally, 1356 Davenport Rd. was listed for $1,148,000 but after 75 days on the market the price has recently dropped to $1,048,000.
So now's definitely the time to seize the chance to create your perfect home or step into the retro home of your dreams.
