A cute little one-bedroom laneway house in Toronto is selling for $800,000

Right now the average price of a detached house in Toronto is $1,097,300 and requires you to earn a salary of at least $208,950 a year. But that's an "average" house. If you search for not-so-average houses, then that $1 million price tag starts to come down a little. 

For example, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom detached house is listed for $799,000. 

This tiny home is actually a laneway house, but it really feels like a hidden gem in the heart of Toronto. 

The front entrance. 

Located in Parkdale, 6 O'Hara Place is fully renovated and move-in ready. 

The kitchen dining area. 

As soon as you step inside, you’re greeted by a spacious, modern eat-in kitchen straight out of a Pinterest board.

The newly renovated kitchen. 

There are quartz countertops, sleek stainless-steel appliances, and brand-new cabinetry. 

The living room with a stained-glass window. 

The cozy living room is filled with natural light, and the stained-glass window adds a touch of vintage flair.

The back patio. 

While the house is only on a 17.89 by 38.5-foot lot, there's even a little outdoor space. 

The rooftop patio. 

There's a private patio off the back of the living room, or if you take a few steps up, you'll find yourself on your very own treetop deck.

A bookcase built into the stairwell. 

Speaking of upstairs, the one and only bedroom is located up there. 

The bedroom. 

It is surprisingly spacious and airy, with tons of storage.  

The bathroom. 

The bathroom is a chic four-piece bathroom, complete with a deep soaking tub that just begs for a bubble bath.

Floating shelves add extra storage in the kitchen. 

And normally, laneway houses don't have basements, but this one does. 

The basement laundry. 

The basement is equipped with both laundry facilities and additional storage space. 

And location-wise, 6 O'Hara Place is pretty great. 

The upstairs landing into the bedroom. 

You’re seconds away from major transit routes, including the Queen streetcar, and a stone’s throw from all the shops, restaurants, and cafes that make Parkdale such a vibrant community. Plus, you’re close to schools, the lake, and waterfront trails, so there’s always something to do.

The living room. 

While you probably still need to earn a $200K salary to afford the mortgage and down payment on this place, unlike most other houses on the market listed for this price, you don't need to invest another $150K in a gut renovation to make it liveable. 

The back deck. 

So, in my books, 6 O'Hara Place is basically like finding a needle in the Toronto real estate haystack.
