This quaint Toronto home with retro interiors hasn't been on the market since 1957
If you've been dying in this summer heat and dreaming of a pool, then this Toronto home at 49 Allenby Ave. might just be your dream come true.
This charming 1.5-storey home has been lovingly owned by the same family since 1957. Yes, that is a long time.
And while it is expectedly somewhat dated, its bright and inviting atmosphere plus the fact that it has a backyard pool make it easy to see why they stayed for so long!
The home is small, with only two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and could certainly use some modern updates.
But it has a good layout and features like hardwood floors on the main floor.
The kitchen, with its retro wallpaper, is big enough to be an eat-in kitchen.
And there's a separate dining room with floor-to-ceiling mirrors, which seems weird but does make the space seem bigger.
Upstairs are the two bedrooms with laminate flooring. They're not massive, but they have closets and enough space for a queen-size bed.
The bathroom is painfully stuck in the 90's with the beige tiles but does have a newer accessible tub.
The partially finished basement is a total trip with wood-panelled walls, retro linoleum flooring and maybe the coolest wall-mounted fireplace ever.
It also includes a laundry area and a two-piece bathroom.
But perhaps the most alluring thing about 49 Allenby Ave. is that it's sitting on a generous 44 by 114 lot, offering ample space for all your outdoor aspirations.
Whether you dream of hosting summer barbecues by the inground pool, gardening, or simply relaxing on the porch overlooking the lush green space, this backyard has it all.
Also, with that much space you could easily add onto the house if you wanted more living space.
Also, the best news, 49 Allenby Ave. is listed for a very reasonable $849,000.
