House from legendary Toronto TV show Kenny vs Spenny for sale at $2.5 million
Legendary and highly controversial 2000s comedy/reality show Kenny vs. Spenny has been but a memory since the show went off the air for good in 2010, but superfans can now own a piece of television history for the cool price of $2.5 million.
The Toronto semi-detached Victorian home that served as the show's setting for most of its run has been put up for sale, and fans of the show and its wild competitions may notice some very familiar scenes in the newly posted listing for 288 Sherbourne St.
A listing for this eight-bedroom, four-bathroom property — including a huge two-storey coach house — was posted on Wednesday and shared by series co-lead Kenny Hotz on Thursday morning.

The listing describes the home as "a rare opportunity to own a meticulously preserved semi-detached Victorian home that is part of Toronto's rich history."
However, it fails to mention that history includes Kenny Hotz vomiting on the dining table in the "Who can eat more meat" competition episode, or how one of the bedrooms was once the site of an impromptu smoke sesh/reggae performance.
"Whether you're a renovator, restorer, or happy to move in as-is, this home exudes timeless elegance with its characteristic Victorian architectural details including intricate woodwork, stained glass windows and soaring ceilings that evoke a bygone era of craftsmanship," reads the listing, glazing over the years of televised debauchery that occurred under this roof.
Also mentioned is the private backyard, described as "ideal for hosting gatherings or simply unwinding amidst the tranquility of outdoor greenery," but probably best remembered as the place where series co-star Spencer Rice tripped on LSD-laced orange juice while wearing a dead octopus on his head.
Another highlight of the property people might recognize from the long-lost show is the greenhouse-inspired sunroom overlooking the private yard.
There are some familiar spaces in the house, but much of it is now unrecognizable from its Kenny vs.Spenny era. Most notably, the kitchen has been fully updated.
The listing notes the two-storey coach house can help buyers recoup some costs as a rental unit, or convert it into a studio or a garage if that suits their needs.
Fans of the show who want to relive its history but don't have a few million bucks to fork over will instead have to hold their breath for a long-hinted revival of the series.
