You think those flat white ceilings are abhorrent and can't imagine an easy renovation. You like your ductwork out of sight. You think the window wells give off a bit of a "basement living" vibe.

IT STILL IS A CHURCH !!!!
I'm telling ya, more idiots come of age day, by day, by day.
Is there an asshat factory in toronto that continually pumps out these people?
Otherwise, its going to be really tough to watch that TV from that angle.
Would you live in a home that has had literally thousands of funerals since its inception?? And I won't even go into the other reason why I wouln't live in a place where a priest did his work...
Better to keep a beautiful exterior than to rip down a historic building. Unfortunately, it's not worth a million plus huge maintenance fees, and like most church conversions, looks odd. I'm sure someone with enough money to buy this also has enough to paint out the red.
Maybe you should smoke a joint and calm down a little bit.
As to this place - 1M for this is a fucking joke.
Asking the BlogTO community what they think about pretty much anything is a proposition guaranteed for hate-fuelled hilarity. In this case, rage on renters.
So a developer says "I bet we could convert a church to a bunch of overpriced yuppie condos - those idiots will love it - It'll still look like a church on the outside, and have all the charm of a medievil cave on the inside"
Guess who's walking all the way to the bank with bags of money???
I'm telling ya, there is an Asshat factory in Toronto somewhere!!!!
Oh, and the rent of that tiny top floor apartment was 95 dollars more than this condos monthly maintenence fee at an even one grand, so I moved on.
You're an idiot.
