Trippy Ontario house that looks like a 1970s time capsule is going for $4.5M

It may be 2025, but stepping into 6800 Second Line W. in Mississauga feels like falling headfirst into a lava lamp.

This trippy time capsule appears to have been pulled straight from 1970, complete with psychedelic wallpaper.

We're talking zigzag patterns that make the walls look like they're melting, linoleum tiles so loud they practically scream, and a wood-panelled basement rec room that looks ready to host a Bee Gees listening party.

The foyer. 

This home has never been on the market before, so it's no surprise it's in need of some serious modernization.

The dining room. 

But if you can see past the retro riot of textures and colours, there's actually a ton of potential here.

The land. 

Not only does the home offer four bedrooms and four bathrooms, but it sits on nearly an acre of land.

So much room for activities. 

According to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, half of that could be subdivided into two separate lots, each measuring a spacious 83.5 feet by 214.35 feet.

A bedroom. 

So, whether you're looking to renovate, rebuild, or just embrace the shagadelic vibes, the options are wide open.

Another bedroom. 

The house itself is also in surprisingly good shape.

The living room. 

Spanning 2,770 square feet, it's got solid bones and a layout that makes sense—starting with a double-door entry, hardwood floors throughout the main level, and large windows that let the sunshine in.

The kitchen. 

There's a spacious eat-in kitchen that leads out to a wooden deck just waiting for a summer cookout and a cooler full of slightly gritty Tang.

The primary bedroom. 

Upstairs, you'll find four generous bedrooms, each rocking its own distinct carpet colour.

The primary ensuite. 

The primary suite is especially extra, featuring a walk-in closet and a five-piece ensuite—yes, with matching purple fixtures, including a bidet. Groovy.

The second floor terrace. 

There's also a second-floor terrace that could be an exceptional rooftop patio. 

The bar. 

Downstairs, the finished basement is pure '70s nostalgia, complete with a wet bar, fireplace, and a walk-out to the backyard.

The recreation room.

And while the aesthetic hasn't changed much since the first Trudeau was prime minister, some of the essentials have. For example, the roof is just 12 years old, and the home has been upgraded with 200-amp service.

The family room. 

Originally listed at $5,295,000, the price has just been slashed to $4,500,000 after a few unsuccessful rounds on the market.

The backyard. 

So if you're in the mood for a reno project with major payoff—or just really love purple bidets—this one's worth a look.
