The property went on the market this week, priced at $1,950,000, broker Keven Trudel with Real Estate Bay Realty told CTV News Toronto on Friday.
“What we see outside is quite cramped, but once you get inside, I think they’ve done a fantastic job of designing the place to make you feel big,” he said.
The purpose-built, 3-storey property is currently divided into three separate units, each with its own private entrance and a basement.
In total, the home is approximately 1,700 square feet, with 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
Acknowledging what might be considered a high price for a small property, Trudel says the home was listed at $1,950,000 because it was a labor of love.
“It’s one of my client’s creations,” he said. “It’s a little expensive, obviously, because we’re in a little bit of territory, but it’s also valuable because it’s rare and different.”
While Trudel says it could quickly be converted into a single-family home, he doesn’t envision the property operating as such.
“It would be great for investors,” he said, “or to make an incredible AirBnB.”
138 St Clarens Avenue isn’t the first ultra-thin structure in Toronto. Last year, 154 Hamilton St. on the east side of town sold for $1,750,000. It is four stories tall and only 10 feet wide.
