You don't find "quality of life" in the house my friend. It's all about the homeowners happiness and well being. When it comes time when you can afford a house like this, let's just hope you can hire someone to shovel your snow.]]>

I love that overlooking a bunch of condos, houses and backyards (oh, and the subway!) qualifies as having a view in Toronto!

Great interior and design though. I'd trade my east-end cityscape view for it any day.]]>

Agreed that the outside is hideous. 

And where, exactly, do those double doors lead to in the back? A way to get rid of annoying house guests?]]>

You all realize that they are located in the best neighbourhood in town, dont' you? These people don't need to flip their home, they have it all...the million dollar family, the million dollar+ house in the million dollar neighbourhood. Don't get me wrong, real estate in Toronto will NEVER be a bad investment, but when you're at a point in your life when it's all about quality of life...the word RENT does not even enter your mind!      ]]>

I have to agree with the obvious monstrosity that is the exterior.  There is something to be said in building homes that people won't want to tear down or redo in 5 years.  There is a very green element in that.

The above being said, I enjoy the interior and applaud the effort!]]>

totally worth it.. you don't pay tax on capital gain of your principle residence..any other investments, you pay frigging taxes... people should continue to trade up their property.. what's better than living in your own investment and not pay any tax on the gain]]>

The interior is absolutley stunning, but I gasped when I saw the front. I love Mid-Century modern, and there are many houses that do it right...but I just don't understand the stucco look on the front. It looks like a poorly built McMansion in the Bathrst & Lawrence area. Sorry. :( (but the interior is nice)]]>

Huh? Why can't people just renovate and then live in their house and enjoy it? 
Why do people have to keep flipping their goddamn houses?
The market will come back.]]>

not if you factor in the land transfer tax, i doubt it'd be worthwhile. better to keep it and rent it out to someone else, and buy a new place at better financing/price.]]>

@keven only if the only measurement you use is the savings on electricity. There is also the benefit of living in the additional space, and how much value they've added to the house. When you renovate your house, the goal can't be to recoup your expenses, it's to provide a higher quality of living.]]>

Love this series.  This one particularly is inspiring.  

300k to do the reno?  YIKES!  With the federal rebate it will take 126 years to recoup that investment.]]>
