One more shot from the same laneway/alley to show you. This one has so much character that I am sure it will be wonderful when it is converted. These laneway buildings are basically in the backyards of some of the homes on the neighbouring streets, adjacent to the garages and parking spaces of the other houses as you can see in the pic. Although the lanes themselves appear a bit rough, the homes in this area sell for over $2 million so I don't think this building will stay empty for long. The church steeple that is just visible towards the right will be in my post for tomorrow. Stay tuned!
It sure is amazing that this structure borders on a $2 million-dollar property!
ReplyDeleteI love the roof. Wish thre wasn't so much graffiti.
ReplyDeleteGoodness $2m, must a case of location location......
ReplyDeleteTwo million dollars? As in money? Loot? Moolah?
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! So what would this laneway building going to sell for?
Yikes! Wouldn't you like to have bought some of those properties years ago?
So this is Boardwalk? ;)
ReplyDeleteCool!
Laneway housing is neat! I've always thought laneways were a great idea, though with property values the way they are, just not affordable anymore. Progress.
ReplyDeleteThis sure does not look like an outbuilding on a posh property.
ReplyDeleteLast night I saw a TV show about people looking for homes in Toronto. I was amazed how many new towers have been built in Toronto. It looks very prosperous.
Love the faux mansard roof on this - gives it sooo much potential
ReplyDeleteWow, $2 million!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's not for my pocket... :(
Have a good weekend RedPat!
That really would look great fixed up.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be fun to design a conversion for a great-looking backyard building like that?
ReplyDeleteYou find the most interesting places.

This is very interesting history of the area. I will stay tuned for more.
ReplyDeleteI'm already dreaming floor plans.....
ReplyDeleteInteresting post.
ReplyDeleteThings are not always as they seem. And that's mostly a good thing.
ReplyDeleteYup, as Birdman says, you can't judge a book by it's cover. People love something a little different these days and they're willing to pay for it! Great series Red.
ReplyDelete$2million, wowzers. Nice composition though.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an area that is becoming very rapidly gentrified and up-market, Pat.
