How Small?

TORONTO’S SMALLEST HOUSE IS FOR SALE ! ! !

unknown1 How Small?It’s nothing short of a “Glorified Tent”. Or is it?

If …
- you live alone or with one other person (or an extremely small dog)
- you don’t have much stuff (barely more than a homeless person)
- you miss that cute little apartment you lived in while teaching English in Japan

THEN THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU ! !

This house, located near the intersection of Dufferin St. and Rogers Rd. is believed to be Toronto’s smallest house. Occupying what used to be a driveway, it’s a one bedroom, one bathroom home that sits on a parcel of land 7.25 ft. wide and 113.67 ft. long and has an interior area of just under 300 sq. ft.

Despite the small space, they’ve managed to fit a washer and dryer into the place. The bedroom comes with a Murphy bed, which is a necessity in such a space. You also get some patio space out back.

    Hah! That is too funny. Now that's what you call a tight-knit family.I wish I would've caught that show, I love Ellen D. A very funny lady.

    Ellen DeGeneres actually called the listing agent on her show and spoke with her. I guess the people who lived here last were a husband and wife with a kid!!

    Sensei,

    Actually, I think it could apply to anyplace in the world where housing gets a bit crowded. And it's not meant to be negative. I admire the creativity that went into creating this living space.

  • Sue

    Anna,

    Yes, it is in Canada! I think it shows just how creative people can be with their living space.

  • Sensei

    I never lived in a place that tiny when I worked in Japan...
